Sk8er Grrls: Kitti, Lee, & Lillie In hindsight, I should have thrown my wings in the backseat. At least then I would have been prepared for Halloween Skate Night! I figured it would be our usual crowd of nobody–and less than nobody because Cherie and the gang had popped off to the Brentwood Roller Rink for the evening. Turns…
Which of the following is scarier? I have a really hard time deciding. (Thanks to maryrobinette for introducing me to these.) Happy Halloween!
Princess Mia I got a great letter from my friend Margo (of High School Reunion fame) the other day, and I had to share it. If you have any pictures of your kids with AlphaOops, please send them along! *************** My two year old daughter is beginning to learn her alphabet. She has become enchanted with the story of…
I love John Green. I might have mentioned that sometime this summer, after I went to Michigan to meet him and Dan John Miller (who read John’s Paper Towns on audio).

Gorgeous view on the way into work. A giant moon like this always reminds me of Joe Vs. The Volcano.
I saw this onpapillon_enrage ‘s LJ this morning and couldn’t leave for work without chiming in. When you see this, post in your own journal with your favorite quote from The Princess Bride. Preferably not "As you wish" or the Inigo Montoya speech. My favorite quote from The Princess Bride is not actually in the movie — it’s in the book:…
You know, Once Upon a Time, there were actually things people didn’t know about me. Now, my life’s an open book – literally. But talented photographress Michelle Pendergrass tagged me on her blog last week, and this week I really the break, so here you go. (Yes. I realize it’s only Tuesday and I’m already needing a break. Means…
