A war rages An indefinable putrification Of all we see and hear. Screaming harpees Flitter about as vicious hounds Tear each other apart. The mad politicians Vomit up explanations and exclamations Of factitious lie and illegitimate truths. Bystanders are massacred Children are eaten The elderly are raped. What will we see...

Having Babies Made Me Fat
Having babies made me fat. I wasn't all that thin before I became pregnant, but I was severely overweight after Rylan was born.

Yesterday’s workout and last Friday’s workout
I've been a bit lazy about logging my workouts, but not lazy during them. I try to do weight training 2 to 3 times a week and run 2 to 3 times a week. I enjoy making my own workouts, because I feel like I can focus on the specific muscle groups I think I... Continue Reading →

Life’s a Great Balancing Act
How does a parent determine what is the appropriate amount of apple juice their kid is allowed to have in day? Or how late to let them sleep? Or how much TV they are allowed to watch? Should a parent just let their 5 year old eat anything they want, anytime, and let the kid... Continue Reading →
Compost or Bust
I've been doing a lot of gardening around our new home. We have an insane amount of palm trees, hibiscus plants, and other random things the previous homeowner added to the property. This has led me onto the path of landscaping and gardening education. This hobby is extensive and expensive. Since we have just purchased... Continue Reading →
