I was going to wear one of them out to Lettuceknit tonight but I’m having a “it sucks to be a girl sometimes” day and will instead be hugging the water bottle and sucking back gallons of raspberry leaf tea…but enough about my plumbing… The Skirts: And Turns out I could have quite easily made [...]

Abi is back from the farm, we missed her quite a bit but not her tantrums…(we are still looking for an effective solution on how to deal with them…) which are happening a bit more often right now that I have decided to wean her. I want my body to be my own again for [...]

This is just realms of creepy, a ball where daughters pledge their purity to their fathers and the fathers inturn pledge to protect it…then there is also this…Gah icky icky icky! I understand that the point is to get father’s more involved in their daughter’s lives and that studies have shown that a girls choice [...]

Since the Counter Productive Side Kick is still at Camp Nana and Poppa I decided to get a hustle-on making those skirts I mentioned in yesterdays post.

There is nothing like a minivan full of teenaged jocks yelling “fatty” at a girl as they drive by to make her wish for a baseball bat to smash out their windshield. Don’t ya just love it when bad days get worse!

I think I’m going to take the re-newed boots on a bit of a stomp fest starting with the idiot that pitched this article. Actors like Drew Barrymore and Catherine Zeta-Jones are referred to as chubby and the magazine ran a “visual Smorgasbord of the sexiest plate-scrapers ever” to compliment the article(click on the pig [...]

I’m very pleased to announce that my old black dance-y pants boots have been fixed! The shoe repair guy near my house did a great job in reparing the previously Smauged zipper and he even gave them a buff and polish and all for the low price of 20$! If you have a favourite pair [...]

At the SnB last night Amy and I were talking about sharling your home with pet Rabbits. As pets go they are very quite cool but are destructive to the level of a drunken frat boy…carpets, wires, baseboards, your furniture…if they take a hate on to it you can bet it will be made quick [...]
