Well, I’ve been tagged. This seems like a bit of a complicated meme involving photos and whatever you are passionate for kids to learn about. Unfortunately I am too sleep deprived to come up with inspiring quotes, so I’m posting the most important life lesson I can think of for my children to learn at […]

I’ve had a good day today, mostly because Mr. Tangognat was able to take the twins for the afternoon. It was really good to get a break, because I’d had a rough couple days earlier in the week being all cooped up with them, plus Thing Two has developed a habit of wailing whenever I’m […]

Well, posting here will continue to be somewhat sporadic. Between looking after two babies, starting a new (very part time) job, and general life stuff, it is a little tough to set aside time for blogging. I had family visiting for the Thanksgiving holidays, which was very nice. It was great to see everyone, and […]

Well, I haven’t been blogging much recently, and I’m not likely to anytime soon, because I will be otherwise occupied:

Thing 1 & Thing 2 are identical twins, and were both around six and a half pounds.

One of the weirdest things about my condo was the old owner putting in a fake wine bar where the hallway closet used to be. You don’t get the full effect in this photo, but you can get the general idea: there was a shelf around chest high, another shelf with plastic wine glass holders, […]

Ah, I’ve been tagged.
Here are 8 things about me, then.
1. I really like this yogurt. It is chock-full of fat, but I like it anyway.
2. The other day, I committed a horrible fashion crime of wearing Birkenstocks with capri pants. Now those sandals are a fashion crime all by themselves, but I think wearing them […]

One of the more loathsome daily reminders of the decorating taste of the former owner of our condo, who I tend to call “that woman,” is her dining room light fixture:

The picture is a little blurry, so you are spared seeing the dragonflies decorating the lampshade, and the sickly-looking amber plastic beading dangling about. This […]

These memes spread like a horrible virulent disease. I’ve been tagged again.
So, 6 weird things about me:
1) During my high school years, I attended 4 different high schools in two states.
2) I’ve studied Russian, French, and Japanese, although I only remember a little bit of French and some Japanese.
3) A cult (or just some strange […]

When my husband and I were out today doing some after Christmas sale shopping, I remarked that I felt really exhausted and he told me that he’d been secretly running an experiment on me by mixing decaf coffee beans with the regular coffee. I’d been drinking half-caffeinated coffee for a week without my knowledge. My […]

I think they’re a bit “brainy librarian” but hopefully not in a bad way!
