10 seconds? Impossible!

This year’s brilliance from Kelly is a 10 second introduction. I hate these things. 10 seconds is either far too long or far too short, I’m not sure which. But I’ll play but I’m getting help from the children.

RJ (entering 6th grade!) thinks you should know that I am patient.

E (entering 4th grade!) jumped in with “evillllllll” which annoyed Prince J who obviously wanted to use this one himself.

Instead the good Prince (entering 8th grade, OMG how did that happen) said you should know I am cool. Heh. I’m sure he means evil in a cool way but E screwed that right up for him. (The three older children are off in their own worlds and unavailable for comment at this time.)

I suppose I should mention I’m a lesbian since that was apparently not obvious at the last BlogHer conference.

I will probably not sit still or stand still for long at the conference, nothing personal – I just like to talk to everyone and make sure I don’t miss anyone. I also hate seeing people sitting or standing alone so I will probably attempt to corral the loners and toss them into the loud and boisterous mommy groups or pair them up with other quiet types. If you’re feeling lonely, grab me and I’ll help. It’s what I do best.

Daily Dose of Cupcakes

Cupcake Toppers, Daily Dose, Harry Potter /

zz320104l.jpgObviously today’s cupcake toppers must be Harry Potter themed. There’s nothing else happening in the world this weekend, is there? You can top your cupcakes with Bertie Botts Beans or the Golden Snitch cuff links pictured in this post (they are a bit expensive for a cupcake topper but your HP fans are worth it, aren’t they?)


There are mudblood buttons and Platform 9 3/4 buttons, and my favorite deatheater button. I could go on and on – the Cafe Press options alone could provide you with enough HP cupcake toppers for years.

Elizabeth Edwards – I used to like you

2 Comments / Daily Dose, News and Politics, Women /

geez. First you called Coulter and asked for an apology – ridiculous and done only for some publicity and some sympathy and to stir anti Coullter folks up. Now your questioning Clinton’s commitment to women’s issues because she isn’t a walking women’s movement machine. Give me a break Mrs Edwards. Clinton isn’t focusing solely on women’s issues, she’s talking about issues that face all Americans. If she was talking more about women’s issues you’d have something to say about THAT and you’d probably find some fabulous way to spin it. You are very good at that.

Mrs Edwards, If you want to address Clinton’s position on the various “women’s issues” then you go right ahead and do that. But don’t tiptoe along that “Hillary acts like a man” line.

It’s politics and Mrs Edwards plays it better than her husband does. Too bad she won’t be running, seriously. She’s one hell of a politician. Which makes me dislike her – and her husband. He’s running a distant third with me, possibly because Mrs Edwards is too damn good at what she does – she’s too good at playing political games. I’m really tired of games.

Prius owners are snobs!

1 Comment / Daily Dose, Money Talks, Personality /

As you’re obviously aware, I’ve been planning to buy a Prius whaley boy car for a very long time. I’m always amused by the stories about why Prius owners buy the Prius. It appears as though green living and saving money are at the bottom of the list of reasons for the purchase. Ego and image boosting is high – the search for identity.

The Prius is not a pretty car. In fact, it’s ugly. (Which is part of the reason why it’s called a whaley boy car – Fluke is the real reason.) I want one for three reasons, all of which say something about me.

  • I love Christopher Moore. I loved Fluke. I love the Whaley Boys. I need a Whaley Boy car!
  • The car IS ugly. I am drawn to things that society does not think are “beautiful”. I’m not Ani who says “everything she loves is ugly” but I can relate to that.
  • I’m the frugal sort. I’ve read all of the articles that indicate the Prius may not be as cost-effective as we think. But, based on my driving habits, I think it probably is going to be a money saver in the long run.

The green thing does play a role in my decision to buy a Prius. Definitely. But like many other people, it’s not at the top of my list. It’s 4th. I’m not a great green human, but I do try. I’m also not a snob but I have to agree that an awful lot of Prius owners are.

Shhh it’s a secret….

Daily Dose, News and Politics /

Thanks for talking about this, Nick. I look forward to your recap of the great debate and wish I was going to be there to see it myself. The Citadel, of all places. It’s sort of surreal for this gay Charlestonian.


A question that I hope arises at the debate is the already asked and answered question about Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. At The Citadel there is an underground group of students that no person in this country, except for me, likes to talk about. LGB (purposefully left out the T on this one for obvious reasons) students at The Citadel will be wanting to know which candidate will let them speak? Don’t believe that there are LGB students at The Citadel, well think again. I hope that one of these candidates will stand up for these students and allow them to serve our country and be who they are at the same time.

7th Voyage of Sinbad!

1 Comment / Family Funk, Memories, Movies & Television /

Man I loved that movie when I was a kid. I think I saw it at the theater a half dozen times (My mother was a good woman, well she still is but she drove me and my brother and my friends across the Ashley before the days of the Mark Clark aka 526 to the Ultravision Theater – does that theater still exist? I don’t remember seeing it on Sam Rittenburg last week. Anyway, she drove us and came back and picked us up – over and over again.)

Sinbad is dead. Man I’m old.
