Is Crazy an Excuse for Rambling?

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jun 28, 2009 in A Bit on the Dark Side, Naughty

I plan to make this the world’s most poorly planned and quickly executed blog post in history.
I drove to New Jersey Friday while listening to Wigfield by Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, and Paul Dilello, and found myself transported to a land in which, instead of passing big rigs with Jesus slogans plastered on them, I [...]

Love Them

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jun 24, 2009 in Motherhood

I’m referencing a post by my bloggie friend Betty, who inspired this response.
We all feel inept and bumbling when it comes to parenting, but most people are afraid to say it. We pretend we know “the answer” or “the way,” so that we can put our minds at ease that we will turn out people [...]

The Incredible Shrinking Blogger

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jun 21, 2009 in Writing

Ha! Don’t I wish!
No, folks, I don’t mean my waist line.  That would be great, but I’m actually talking about the blog itself.
See, I have a problem.  I spend way too much time writing and commenting around WordPress, and not nearly enough time on other things. Like say, sleeping. Writing things that might make money [...]

Kidz Bop Can Suck It

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jun 18, 2009 in Mental Stability, Motherhood

I used to be one of those people who would drive around blasting Public Enemy, or D.R.I. from speakers that were never built to handle such bringing on of the kickass.
I sang Nine Inch Nails “Closer” as loud as possible with the windows down and did not care one whit about the people staring at [...]

Nothing to See Here, Folks

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jun 17, 2009 in A Bit on the Dark Side

I had planned, for your listening pleasure, to share the delights of “Sex on Fire” by Kings of Leon, and “Savior” by Rise Against.
But ridiculous band managers who don’t recognize free publicity when they see it have hindered me.
So instead, I will post my friend Will’s weird take on Subterranean Homesick Blues.  He wrote the [...]

Wordless Wednesday, of Sorts

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jun 16, 2009 in Uncategorized, Wordless Wednesday

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHhhcKxflMY]
I just like it.  It does something to me.
And the next song I just can’t get anywhere.  So here’s a link. It’s worth a listen.
Am I too old for slam dancing?  It makes me want to ride around blasting it with my feet out the window drinking a Milwaukee’s Best.  Maybe I’m just too easy [...]

Why Nothing Gets Done

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jun 15, 2009 in Embarrassing Moments, bad housekeeping

I’m sure my wonderful husband always wonders why the house never looks any better when he gets home from work than it did when he left it. It often looks worse, but never better.
So I decided to keep track today of what goes down.
0700 Baby B climbs into my bed and cries mommy mommy mommy [...]

You Might

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jun 12, 2009 in The Soap Box

You might know a boy who seems like trouble, who drives wrecklessly and punches walls.
You might know a girl who thinks she is too fat, or too awkward, or too uncool, and it bothers her more than you think is realistic.
You might know a man who drinks like a frat boy though he’s ten years [...]

It Takes a Village But Why's It Gotta Be My Village?

I’ve heard it said that it takes a village to raise a child. This idea was popularized by Hillary Clinton when she named her world domination plan book after the idea, ostensibly an African proverb. While there is some argument about the origin of the phrase, it is in close keeping with many cultural ideas [...]

Fear and Courage

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jun 9, 2009 in The Soap Box

As I am prone to do now and again, I’m going to break character here and post something serious.
I’m going to tell you something incredibly embarrassing in order to make a point.  And I hope the point leaves you so affected, you’ll forget all about the incident that prompted this little lesson.
We have a rat. [...]
