Mommy Moments » THE RECYCLED BOX GIFT TOWER
Posted 92 minutes ago
A couple months ago I decided to not wrap gifts Traditionally any longer.  I started using Reusable shopping bags (canvas or other) or recycled paper and items from the house.  Not because I'm too cheap or lazy to wrap gifts... Although secretly I despise having to wrap them... But that isn't the reason.  I just felt like it was smarter ... [Link]

Every morning after the children are on their way to their respective schools, I walk around the house cleaning up the evidence of the morning chaos. Most of my time is spent putting the bathroom back together. Twice as many toothbrushes as there are people in the family are scattered all over the counter top and floor. Multiple strings of ...

Today I picked up some goodies on my poster radar. First, I have the final poster for Frank Miller's "The Spirit," which stars Gabriel Macht as a rookie cop who returns from the dead to battle crime in Central City. It looks pretty good, and you can check it out after the jump. Release date: Dec. 25, 2008. The second ... [Link]

Hey, Thanksgiving is a week from today if you're here in the US of A. If you're not, then I suppose Thursday's a week from today. Either way, how did it get to be the end of November? I swear, I'm sure it's the end of September and that's being generous. Truthfully, I'm just getting to where I feel like ... [Link]

You’ve probably already seen this essay in the Jewish Chronicle, but as it contains this delightful snippet I simply have to (re)iterate its existence: Garfinkel is bold in his pronouncements against the school of archeologists skeptical that the Bible left behind a chronologically reliable physical trail of evidence.  He argued that the Elah Fortress, located in the Elah Valley near ...

Minnesota: Play Minnesota Public Radio's Senate Recount Challenged Ballots game and judge for yourself. Very interesting stuff. Arizona: She won't be Attorney General, but it looks like she will be Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. As such, we shouldn't expect Governor Janet Napolitano to challenge John W. McCain in 2010. Senate's loss, but DHS will be in great hands ... [Link]

INSTA-POLL: Since I mentioned it last night there’s been some talk of having some sort of rightroots conference to organize things post-election. (Call it a counter-Kos if you want, but not exactly). What do you think? I’m polling, and I’m also going to open comments for a while. If you’ve got a better idea, share it! Meanwhile, I’ll be on ... [Link]

Suffering the Benz » Carousing with Gilligan

It happened again. Gilligan and Ozzy made a mad dash for freedom the other night. I was a little surprised they took off because I was throwing a big, bone-shaped floating toy into the cove for Gilligan. An engaged Gilligan is generally a good Gilligan. But he took off, clenching that goofy fuzzyellowbone and oblivious to my fading shouts. Ozzy ... [Link]
