Dreamwidth totally failed to post this before so I have to redo it, but we're in the process of moving into a new house. Ridiculous numbers of boxes are all over the place and we still have a ridiculous amount of stuff at the old house. And we have to get a lawn mower, of all things. Look out suburbia, here comes the Robo-family.

I have been very, very bad about posting. I hope to improve in 2013. Some random highlights:

• Twopointoh is now 2.25 years old. He's an exasperating endearing mix of big boy and momma's little baby. As I am a lazy sod I cannot promise pics anytime soon but they or their links will appear here if possible.
• DH participated in and won NaNoWriMo in 2012. ( Read more... )

Sorry for falling off the face of the planet. I mean, it's  not like I've been busy, although chasing after Twopointoh does take up a certain amount of time.

No actual snow was involved. More like a little ice and some patches of dense fog. It was enough for Northern Virginia to flip its collective shit and put the Federal government on a delayed opening.

Twopointoh is now fully bipedal. His balance is notso-hotso but he makes up for it with sheer determination and occasionally resorting to crawling. Also, it's been a year since the little bologna loaf joined us. Where did the time go?

Our power flickered a few times but stayed up all night. No damage to the house and no flooding. Good luck to all those still in Irene's path.

For me, the grieving process has taken a cantankerous turn. I'm tired of seeing all the time and energy devoted to breast cancer when esophageal cancer is so much harder to treat and so much more lethal. I know it's horribly selfish but dammit all I can't help feeling that cancer research is a zero-sum game and maybe, just maybe, a little bit of ( Read more... )

It would seem that the teething fever that Two had was actually the start of his first cold, which he proceeded to pass on to the two of us. I have never been so [expletive deleted] tired in my life. Lemon ginger tea helps a lot.

Pedal is a flat object, designed to be stepped on with your foot, that operates a device such as a bicycle, sewing machine, pipe organ, what have you. Pedaling is the process of operating a pedal, most often in the context of operating a bicycle. To peddle is to sell goods, perhaps from a street cart or other mobile business. (One who peddles is a ( Read more... )

The Rothmobile decided to throw a hissy fit, so we have to wait until tomorrow to rent a car and leave. The universe never fails to give me interesting times to live in.
