Little reviews today. This whole “working outside of the home instead of inside in my home office, blogging, spacing out and watching General Hospital on Tivo…” it’s kinda throwing me. I’ll deal, do not fret, Internets. (more…)

How to Cook Vegetable Green Curry, Wacky Mommy-style

1) Decide to cook dinner. That’ll be a shocker. (I have lost all mojo for cooking.) (Lost.) (As in, gone.)

Wacky Girl, apprehensive: “You’re cooking?”

Wacky Girl, screaming to her brother: “Wanna play Candyland?” (more…)

“Evil is like a shadow – it has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.”

— Shakti Gawain, teacher and author (b. 1948)

Zip, this is everyone. Everyone, this ZIP! There! It’s done. Now we all know each other. (more…)

“If a man would register all his opinions upon love, politics, religion, learning, etc., beginning from his youth and so go on to old age, what a bundle of inconsistencies and contradictions would appear at last!”

— Jonathan Swift, satirist (1667-1745)

Planet Nomad, this is everyone. Everyone, this is PLANET NOMAD! (I always want to sing that Duran Duran song — “this is planet earth/ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba!!!/this is planet earth…”) There! It’s done. Now we all know each other. (more…)

THIRTEENERS!!!! I just wanted to say “hey.” Hey. How you doin’? USUAL SUSPECTS!!!! Hello, and noooooooo you are not forgotten. I am, however, forgetting about this week’s Thursday Thirteen because… why shouldn’t I?

13. Ash in Wonderland (and her boobs) wrote a freakin’ great post for me and I am still enjoying it. And her boobs. Plus, it immediately started a fight! Excellent work, Ash-girl. I kinda enjoy blog-fighting. Except the subject was serious, so I shouldn’t be being flip. They both care, that’s why it got hot for a minute. Ash, thanks for everything. Mia, thank you to you and your co-workers for the extremely hard and thankless work you do. Peace and I’m lighting candles for the kids, right now. (more…)

From Zip:

“I found this beautiful winter poem and thought it might be a comfort to you. It was to me, and it’s very well written.”

“WINTER”
a poem by Abigail Elizabeth McIntyre…

“CRAP, It’s Cold !”

The End

“It is difficult/
to get the news from poems/
yet men die miserably every day/
for lack/
of what is found there”

— William Carlos Williams
