I found the Boy’s sandals! Didn’t even have to do the גורל הגר”א. Two friends to whom I was miserably complaining over the last 1+ weeks about how I couldn’t find them had suggested I check the hamper in the living room, because, as you of course already know, the Boy spent two Friday nights [...]
Sunday: Mother of all things holy, what hot miserable weather. I can’t tolerate it for more than two minutes. I can barely tolerate being inside, even though baruch Hashem my house is equipped with that modern marvel known as central air conditioning.
My house is full of smoke. FULL. See, my husband stuck some bread in [...]

Forgive me for being gone for weeks and then returning with such a trivial topic, but as I am lying in my bed with my computer, attempting to finish copyediting this book, it just so happens that there is a revolting individual with eight legs walking around on my ceiling, tracing circles directly over my [...]
My microwave is dead. My other microwave can’t be kashered (don’t ask, it just can’t be). Ergo I have no microwave for Pesach. Feh.
My house was guzzling so much energy these past two days, I think there’s a special global warming cloud forming over my roof.
I started reading one of the books on my MA [...]

Prepare to become educated on the subjects of my minivan, my often-flooding basement, and other sundry things. And if for some reason you missed it, I’ve posted THREE times already this [...]
Some stupid loser idiot jerk broke into my car last night and stole my GPS. And the multiple socket thing it was plugged into, which we really, really need during our summer road trip. And all the cables that were plugged into it. What’s the moron going to do with those, I would like to [...]
The light of… FREEDOM!! I have a working computer! I’m lying in bed using it right now! I no longer have to use G’s bad bad desktop that has bad bad Vista on it (shudder) while sitting at his desk (shudder) in his crowded study! I get to do my work and surf the web [...]
Yes, she would. “Ima, one of the trees that fell is my favorite tree! The one with the birdhouse!” There’s another tree in that yard with a birdhouse as well, of course, but apparently YS preferred this one. There’s also a zebra in that yard (not a real one), which thank God escaped damage.
Here, check [...]
Thinking about the approaching summer fills me with fear and dread. This is perhaps not totally surprising, but still.
I have been stressing about Pesach for two weeks already. -??- This is most unlike me.
I have exploded at my son twice today. What gives?? The kid is only 23 months old. Perhaps my temper is unusually [...]
