Them's some garlicky brussel sprouts.

Mushrooms are from outer space

Meet Luna

My Dad found this puppy for us, and I am OVER THE MOON. I have wanted a puppy for so long! We pick her up next Saturday. Welcome to our family, Luna!

Iowa State Fair 2008

We caught the shuttle at the state capitol, glistening in the sun. Dan Wardell is the Kid's Club host for Iowa Public TV, he is so rad, kids adore him, then he comes over and jokes around with us, just a great guy. Iggy loves him, asked me before the fair if Dan would be there, if he would be wearing his cape, and was that cape yellow?

Baby lambies, so fucking cute!

Little Hands on the Farm is an interactive farming thing, Iggy loves doing it, gets to keep the Pioneer hat.


It was a really fun day.

Subgenius moment

Awesome!

I love this record. It even has a DVD included with videos of each song!

Friday song in my head

This is oldish, but still funny

Truly Cuban child

FYI, Materva is the best drink ever, second only to guarapo.

I don't know what this is...

...but it is very cute.

To think, he used to fit easily in a bowl that size!

Sweet Wishes

Friday song in my head

Creepiest toy ever (or at least Top 10)

I saw a windowful of these puppies in Pismo last month, but only just remembered them. You could not pay me to put one of these in my home!

A drawing of my soul

Blackout!

We had 3 days without electricity over the weekend, thanks to a 10 minute hurricane on Friday.
It really wasn't that bad.
The cleanup was hectic, but the weather was beautiful, cool and breezy, and I didn't miss power much at all.
We have a gas stove, so I could cook, we had hot water, we had a great radio, and it was pretty groovy.
Tom and I played cards by candlelight, very romantical.

I love my Mom

She's an adventurous eater.

Sad but true

see more politics and fun!

El raton del suerte malo

I knew something was dead as soon as I stepped out on the porch, but it took Tom the better part of an afternoon to find the source behind my flowerpots. I guess he was just too chubby.

Best Vacation Ever

Pismo Beach 2008 will be tough to top.
My kid was sunburned NOT ONE IOTA, but I burned where I couldn't reach, sad tale of mommydom.


I just liked this can.

Splash Cafe, best chowder EVER (and I don't even like chowder).
