We're spending New Year's Eve surrounded by boxes...
Not cool.
I can’t wait to spend 12 months living in one place.

Or am I just missing something? Is there a way to read my messages within the iPhone app?
This is a very inneresting situation.
The good news: My husband just got an amazing new job. Twice the money, fewer classes, less work, a better work environment, and OMG health insurance (!) for the baby and me.
The bad news: It’s in a town four hours away, and he starts Jan 10. We’re moving for the THIRD time this year. Ugh.
The next two weeks are going to suck hard. I’m just trying to focus on the health...

I had such big plans to stay up for Paul squared...
Instead I fell asleep at 10. And I just know Hulu is going to cut Paul’s performances.
This makes me grumpy. Harrumph.
I think we may have different parenting styles.
Me: We're going to have to give him a bath, and it's going to traumatize him. He's going to scream and get really pissed.
Tony: Then I think we should probably never bathe him.
Me: Really? You want him to be the smelly kid at school someday?
Tony: Sure. Like Pig Pen. Everyone liked Pig Pen. He was so friendly.
So we just randomly got a check from Blue Cross...
Tony has a private health insurance policy through them. The accompanying letter talks about a refund for “active life reserves” or something. I do not understand.
This USA Today article sort of explains it, but I’m still confused. For once a health insurance company is doing something other than screwing us. This feeling is new and unsettling.
I’m afraid sometime this...

It’s long been a pretty well-kept secret, but the passengers on the Discovery Channel show aren’t just random travelers—they’re cast, just like actors or Oprah ultimate fans. The process has been detailed online, but here’s the gist: Riders are generally found or screened at a bar or on the street. People who are gregarious, funny, and sometimes half in the bag get told they’ve made it on a...

If I ever meet the person who thought double-sided DVDs were a good idea, I will clothesline that son of a bitch.
DAMN YOU, DVD MANUFACTURERS.

The Difference Between Tumblr and Facebook

On here I follow people who are doing actual work to make the world a better place. They are educators and advocates whom I admire.
On Facebook I am friends with people that somehow think changing their profile pictures to that of a cartoon is a legit campaign to stop violence against children.
Tumblr wins at life.
Amen to all of this.
