THE Bean’s Fire story now with Ninjas
By The Bean “I saw a big smoke outside the art room window. And I thought it was a fire heading for school. My mommy came to pick me up and I said it was a fire in our neighborhood and the teachers were worried. We had to go home …
Learning Karate
Took Bean to her first karate lesson today. It was fierce and adorable. I told her she’d have to be serious and pay attention and she did great. She is not lacking in confidence–jut threw herself into it and tried everything full throttle. She wasn’t the lest bit shy and …
Wine and Boiling Turkeys
Sometimes no matter what you do you are wrong. How do you find a Zen state with that suffering? But let’s move along then shall we? I wish I could like wine the right way, but I like wine the silly way. by how it tastes. I’ve spent quite a …
Drab dribs
I find myself getting the urge to just post “Hello, I’m still here and this is a post.” But I won’t. Exactly. I’m trying to reschedule the little happy hour thing we were going to do but canceled because of J’s mom’s injury. Only 6 more sleeps, as the Bean …
small things that likely make no difference
One of my favorite webcomics I guess you’d call it making fiends got a spot on nickelodeon! Em saw a bit of it, asked to see some more. I took her to the website and we watched a few. Rather immediately she said her favorite was Vendetta. Ah, apple and …
Insert title here
Trying not to give up now that we are down to the wire. Had some issues with our connection last night so I’m hoping the fact that I had it queued up to go when the access came back makes it OK. It’s not like there was anything else I …
server problems
I’ve tried to get this up but we’ve been have net problems. J’s mom has really injured herself so he’ll be going to stay with her for a week. We’ve been busy making travel arranments, finding money for this and trying to find other ways to help. Cancelled today’s little …
And then it was
Well then, what shall we say so late in the evenin? The turkey was not as moist as it should be after nearly 10 hours of brining, but too many hours of cooking. However, the entire evening came off well. It was intense, cooking several many dishes for my family …
Turkey Blither
It’s one of those ‘here’s what I did over summer vacation entries,” except it’s “here’s what I did to get ready for Fangsgiving.” It was a busy day. I got the pumpkin pies and cornbread done this morning. Got the mise en place set up for everything else –all the …

Vulnerant omnes, ultima necat.
What happens after? I recall wondering if, when you were dying, if you knew you were dying, or if some kind of benevolent mental paralysis set in and held you in a golden place as you took your last breath. In the moment of death,were you still there or already …
A little of this and more of that
It looks as if the supplements are working. So far. Does that mean we’re now ready to begin trying again? November is not a good month for that, just like June/July isn’t a good time. Too many memories. I wonder if those months will ever pass without me thinking about …
The sword of almost everything.
The Bean got our her tinkertoys to build swords. OK, we go to Ren Faire and have since she was 2. And yes she does have a character on a carefully watched and edited version of world of warcraft (the alliance, not the horde) ~a pastime she enjoys with her …
Food Glorious Food
In which our intrepid reporter discusses, Fangsgiving, the hotness of Tony Bourdain and whether or not RRay is the Antichrist: Fangsgiving sickness 2007 progresses. I’ve got a slight fever, stuffed up nose and a sore throat. I’m tired, tired, tired. I’ve take so much zinc I might have galvanized my …
Deja Vu
This is really quite unsettling. James has a migraine, as he did last year. The Bean is sick, as she was last year. I am threatening a cold. Just as last year. I host Fangsgiving, just as last year. A year ago, right around this time I got pregnant. Then …
Velvet and Denim
I’ll never understand how they do it. There’s a way they all kind of look. Their hair a certain set of styles. Their jeans a certain type–not too wide, not too low, not too tight. They don’t have ragged cuticles and probably get their nails done weekly. They have bodies …
