Please don’t visit the URL on the bumper sticker! I don’t know what this is about. But I saw it and it made me wonder if, perhaps, this is why Amber’s mom doesn’t much care for Alec Baldwin. I’m up late, putting the finishing touches on my remaining shopping list. I’ve got most of the family done, but tomorrow is the day to tackle the stragglers. In some ways, it’s kind of fun to wait…

Making sure your little bride-to-be will know her way around the kitchen Look, I make no bones about how useless I am domestically.

Today I was watching the news when CNN’s resident spitfire, Kyra Phillips, clued me in to the controversy surrounding Brokeback Mountain. I had to rub the gunk out of my eyes and do a double-take. Wicka-wicka-wha? Controversy? I haven’t heard anything but subdued interest from arty folk and the occasional “Hey, it’s actually a good movie so we’d like to give it some awards” type of pronouncements. I hadn’t seen footage of oppressed Christians picketing…

I can’t stop scrolling. I just go to a website and scroll down. Then back up. Real fast. And again, and then I move on. This mouse rules.

For Amber. If I had a collection, this probably wouldn’t make it in. Words In the shower I dream about words and how to move them to make pictures like a puzzle, snapping them into place, thinking, Don’t forget to write this down.
