I keep thinking I should write about Aspergers.
It’s been a rough several years. I keep thinking I should be one of those Aspergers moms who blog about it, because who else is an Aspergers mom and doesn’t blog about it, or at least make consistent Facebook posts about it? Why do I not want to write about my kids or husband (all …
Find My Friends = Free Virtual Road Trip!
My 16 year old son, Eeth, received his very first iPhone a few days ago, which rocked his world in ways I hadn’t imagined. Up until now he’d been stuck with more affordable flip phones, which did the job as far as contact is concerned, but did nothing for him socially. He needed a “cool …
Tales from the Dork Side: Reincarnation
Vin and I took the kids to Irvine Park to wear them out after a long day of general buttholishness, hoping lots of exercise would make them tolerable. Before you think I’m an a-hole for saying my kids are buttholish? You’ve been there. Butt out. But that’s not what this is about, so stay with …
NaBloPoMo Blogging Prompts for the Off-Kilter
November 1 lists of writing prompts don’t “get you” because you’re weirder than most.

Halloween fail and terrorizing Daenerys.
I’ve been sort of intrigued with Circus Punk lately, and wanted to be something freak-showy for Halloween, so started to make a strong man costume and totally failed. I wanted that old-timey Muscle Beach look with the black boots and shorts, the red striped tank top, 1000 lb. barbells, handlebar mustache, bangs parted down the …
Tales from the Dork Side: Licking Things and Cooking Lessons
I’m trying hard to break my habit of licking things. I’m referring less to random objects and more to things found in my kitchen, like lips of jars, stuff dripping down sides of bottles, and silverware.
