The Soap Box
I have an odd assortment of friends and acquaintances, and it is ever more apparent to me as I read the variety of posts from friends on Twitter and Facebook.
I have attachment parenting friends, cloth diapering friends, Christian friends, liberal friends, libertarian friends, far right wing friends and far out friends. Some are republican, some [...]

I’ve been doing this blog thing for a while now. Believe it or not, I existed before I was “discovered” by Ram Ventkaartakarawhatever. But since his comment, I find myself deluged by well-meaning but crazed visitors.
So in the interest of holding their (and your) interest – I bring you a resurrected post from the early [...]

Hey, look – I’m famous! Or at least, popular. Or maybe just interesting in a “how unfortunate” kind of way.
But my work space was featured on my friend Fundamental Jelly’s blog, complete with fun explanations, amusing insults, and general frivolity. Go on over and join the melee.

People Are Idiots
That’s right folks – the long awaited interview has been granted at last. The reclusive, eccentric Ms. Barely Knit (the appellation she prefers) has agreed to sit down with us in a very posh cafe, provided we foot the bill and bring a couple of bottles of wine, a Chinese parasol, the “Which brand ball [...]

Somehow I came across this delightful site the other day, and I sat transfixed while clicking on photos of celebrities before and after Photoshopping them into fantasy land. Just click on Portfolio, then on each photo. When it pops up, it’s retouched [...]

Fiber Friday,
Motherhood,
cloth diapering
I have been purging lately. Not the good kind, wherein you lose a lot of weight but still get to enjoy the foods you love. The other, messier kind. The house purge.
We have so much stuff, and I have been so crazy (no, really – like bats in the belfry, toys in the attic, though [...]

Embarrassing Moments,
People Are Idiots
I have been picked on by some “people” lately about some songs I posted that may or may not be devoid of musical value.
I gotta say, I’m not terribly impressed by someone who feels the need to point out the weaknesses in someone else’s tastes. Intimidated, perhaps, but not impressed.

I love cloth diapers.
I know. What a ridiculous thing to love, right? But if you ask any mama who does it nowadays, she’ll probably tell you the same thing.
Not only are they easy to use (no, really – they are), but they are ridiculously cute! Crazy cute. And who can resist an already adorable tushie [...]

I’m trying on some new themes for size. I really like the old one, but I will be relocating to a new host soon and have to sort of rethink everything.
Feedback welcome, and feel free to veer off topic.
*Please Note* My poems are randomly disappearing in the renovations. They’re here somewhere, ostensibly under “Creative Writing.” [...]
