I was pleased when I first saw my typing test results for this week. I broke 20 wpm. I broke into average. But then I remembered that it has been two weeks since my last test, which means my pace hasn't picked up much. I guess I have been feeling … [Read more]
A Peak Behind the Mask: Why I Will Watch Jimmy Fallon and Bradley Cooper Laughing for Five Minures
Talk shows are fake. We all know it. The host might not be fake. The guests might not be fake, but the entire setup is quite forced and restricted. There is a set amount of time that needs to be filled with quality material: a few laughs, perhaps … [Read more]
Thoughts from Theo: It’s Hard to See Eye to Eye With a Toddler
Theo and I sometimes butt heads. That's probably an understatement even though we get along for the most part (and I'm sure this is one of things that will peak and valley as time goes by). Excluding cases of sheer toddler defiance, which represents … [Read more]
Let’s Celebrate Fools: Let’s Celebrate, Fools
One of the part time jobs I held while an undergrad was working for Texas Pardons and Paroles. It was basically a data entry position and possibly the best part time gig I've ever had. Not because of what I did--the details aren't important … [Read more]
This Will Probably Need a Real Title and an Image at Some Point, but This Is for Now, and This Is for Cami
Note: This post was originally published just on my Facebook, but I have since added it to the blog (where it belongs) and backdated it so it fits where it should. My site has been down for basically the entire day. There are a few reasons … [Read more]

Week in Review: March 23-29
This feels like the end of a very long week, mostly a good long though. That means it's time to see how well I followed the Five Karate Moves to Success. I decided to restrict this week's review to just one day: yesterday, the day of the baby shower. … [Read more]
I Am Tired; I Am Weary; I Could Sleep for a Thousand Years
I'm exhausted. We just finished hosting a baby shower for our forthcoming twins, (does that make it a babies shower?) and the preparation involved a great deal of cleaning, straightening, cooking, etc., which was followed by mingling and coraling … [Read more]
Where Have All the Cowboys Gone? And Where Did They Take My Password?
While I understand the purpose of security questions, how they're useful as a small hurdle to someone stealing your whatever, I'm not really a fan. Mostly, I feel that the questions are too generic, like if I can remember the answer (what was your … [Read more]
Thoughts from Theo: Is Your Food Sneaky Cheeky?
Last night after dinner, Theo and I started a silly word game. I don't remember if I asked him about his food or if he took the initiative himself, but he soon began describing what he ate with made up words: sneedy food, doodie food, poodoo food. I … [Read more]
