Geeky Single Mom & Warrior Princess
AKA “the blog” – this is a hodge-podge mixup of everything else I feel like posting.
Yesterday a couple of my kids’ friends came over to play (I’ll use shortened versions of their names). As soon as they’d walked in the door: Mary: “So… have you ever tried a green smoothie?” Sh.: “Green Smoothie? No.” Co: “Do you guys have a BLENDTEC?” Ethan: “YEAH! My mom works there!” Co: “That’s what […]
MoreLeft to their own devices, my kids invariably go crafty on me. Found tonight:
More(Oops! I’d somehow published this as a page rather than a post. Fixing that.) This morning I was surprised by a note from a young man who happened across my profile and felt strongly impressed to share an inspiring quote with me. He friended me as well. I sent a note asking if we’d met; […]
MoreBuh. I bought a reel of “professional grade” lights from GE thinking it’d save me some time in years to come. Invest in quality, right? But just to be safe, I double checked them before putting 400 on my tree and decorating it. This morning when the kids got up I brought them into the […]

You might say I tend to feel things intensely, and […]
MoreWhen I was a kid, the internet was just a kid too. Looking over my 30 years worth of memories, I can’t say things were actually any simpler then than now. How much simpler could things have been back in the days when everything was in black in white? 🙂 Not that everything ever was, […]
MoreI didn’t get to hear the whole conversation because I was dealing with burned broccoli (yes, I win homemaker of the year award) but it went something like this: Mary: “{insert some lengthy explanation here}” Ethan: “What?” Mary: “{expounds on lengthy explanation}” Ethan: “I don’t get it.” Mary “{slightly more concise version of explanation}” Ethan: […]
MoreI am so not a fan of winter, but I think I’ve finally figured out why & what to do about it. I was walking through a parking lot with a good friend when he asked, “So did you replace your tires yet?” He knew they were starting to get iffy back in June, and […]
