The Last Dragonfly

With temps getting down to the single digits at night, and snow on the ground, it’s hard to believe just last week it was warm. That’s the way things are in the Rockies (this part, at least) — one or two weeks of fall at the most. Which doesn’t actually bother me too much — [...]

The Tooth Fairy’s first visit to the Pie House.

Last night MP lost her first tooth. HER FIRST TOOTH!
I may or may not have played a role in it falling out …
“Oow, Mommy, you’re brushing too hard!”
<<SNAP>>
<<BLOOD>>
“Did your tooth just come out?!?”
MP spit a wad of blood into her palm (‘atta girl!) and offered me its contents — a perfect pearly pink baby tooth [...]

Yeah, not really, but when it’s this dumb, it makes me laugh.

My new marriage tradition. Who’s with me?

This weekend I was supposed to drive to Utah to see The Boy, who’s there visiting his mom, but instead, I’m here on the couch, thanks to a nasty head cold. Thank you pediatrician’s office last week. Thank you Booger Eaters IN the pediatrician’s office who gave it to MP, who gave it to me.
No [...]

Leatherface called. He wants his skin back.

So I’m searching the web for a photo to put up in Swap Mama’s new Antiques & Collectibles group. (Did I mention we’re on track to hit 3,000 members in a few days?!? WAAA HOOO!) I search for “antique dolls.”
I get THIS.

Um …
Hold me.
Which, I’m thinking is going to be the same reaction Yo Gabba [...]

If karma exists, in my next life, I’m sure I’ll be a fly.

I was such a dude in a past life.
Given a choice, I’d rather drink beer.
I truly believe there may be nothing funnier on earth than a fart.
And war movies and sports movies are always guaranteed to make me cry.
Seriously. It’s quarter to one in the morning, I’m sitting here in The Big Chair (correctly referred [...]

Obama comes to Montana and learns to fish in a ditch.

So Friday? Obama came to town.
Oh yeah … and hung out at the house NEXT DOOR for the afternoon.
Which totally sounds like I must live in some hoity-toity neighborhood, but Doogs … I live in a doublewide. Albeit, a nice one, but still … it’s a DOUBLEWIDE. There just happens to be a McMansion a [...]

The elephant in the room.

Okay, so here’s the deal. The trip to Connecticut to see The Boy didn’t go all that well.
What we THOUGHT would be our first taste of “real life,” turned out to be anything but, I’m afraid. With MP not in her summer preschool program, that meant she was with me 24/7.
NOT real life.
We spent our [...]

You can dress us up …

Last week, I’m in the coffee shop, working away in my little corner, when Bobo stops by to hang out. He sits on the stool opposite me. A few minutes into our conversation, the gentleman at the table directly behind Bobo packs up his laptop, comes over, says, “I have to unplug,” and in reaching [...]

On the bright side, there’s no litter box.

Right now The Boy and I are trying to figure things out. Who goes where. And when. Big changes. For all of you who want to know details! details! details! here’s the plan to date.
Uh … I dunno.
The good news is we’re both on the same page.
So, MP and I are heading to Connecticut next [...]
