We went to go see The Wrestler tonight.  There were a few parts that were really hard to watch, though it was a really good movie.  But that is not the show I am referring to…
As we were heading to the car, the couple that was sitting beside us in the theater was also parked [...]

While trying to transfer my work’s website domain, I hit a bit of a snag:
Would it be possible for you to free up our domain names so we can transfer to a different server?
Current local provider: “Sure, that’s not a problem. But you know that you will have to move your site to another server.”
Yes, [...]

I love The Soup. I try to watch it every week if at all possible. I can’t explain why I love it so much other than it just makes me happy.
In the last few months, “Spaghetti Cat” has been a fixture on the show. It just cracks me up. For those [...]

Yesterday Ms. PH and I were heading to book club.  PH just got a new car and we were appreciated the XM radio when a song by Heart came on.
I am a fountain of useless knowledge (seriously…friends will not play Trivial Pursuit or any other pop culture trivia game with me). As we are listening [...]

Clayton handed me a piece of paper.  It was an art piece that he had just completed.
Thanks, Buddy.  I like it.
“Good.  I was hoping to cheer you up.”
Cheer me up?
“Yeah…I hoped it would make you happy so you would stop crying.”
Oh, Buddy…I’m not crying because I’m sad.
“Then why are you crying?”
Sad is the least of [...]

The kids and I watch VH1 as we get ready in the mornings.  “Light On’ by David Cook came on.  Shelby mentioned that she thought David Cook wasn’t that cute.  I told her she was nuts because I think he’s adorable.  She then hits me with…
“But aren’t you old enough to be his mother?”
…sigh…Apparently since [...]

Clayton, after coming upon the dogs staring at each other on either side and equidistant from a bone that they both want, “Hey Mom!  Look!  The dogs are in a Mexican round-off!”
He cracks me up!

Shelby woke up this morning complaining of sharp pains in her stomach.  I just assumed that she probably had to go to the bathroom, so I suggested getting up and getting breakfast.  I assured her once she was moving, she would be fine.
I never heard anymore until 20 minutes after I picked her up from [...]

My kids started at their new school today.  Their school happens to be the very same grade school I went to as a kid.  So the whole thing has been a bit surreal.
We have had some concerns during the move.  Shelby is 10 and that is such a weird age for girls.  The cliques and [...]
