As simply as it may sound, I think your ‘blues name’ would be Summer Blue. ;)
Summer Love Blue?

Semi-Arbitrary List of Bold-Faced Words

Feeding the children is one of the most stressful parts of my day. It’s a process that has it’s own sound effects (“awww!”). I could elaborate on this, but only at great risk of being one of those mundane mommy blogs that articulates transactional details of this life of privilege, in words rife with poor me-isms. BUT THAT WOULD BE BORING (believe me, I know, because I...

And what if you could live off the words that you read, the words that you wrote, so that when you sleepily shuffle to the kitchen in the morning and muscle memory propels your right arm towards the coffee filter and your left arm towards the ceramic container you purchased during that impromptu drive to Mexico, instead of scooping out Starbucks Fair Trade Certified Italian Roast,...

5: What's the chance it's going to rain today?
Me: It already rained today, it's going to be a rainy day.
5: But what's the chance it's going to rain TODAY?
Ken: 100%
5: No, today, what's the chance?
Ken: 100%

Take action against SOPA/PIPA

halfbakedidea:
“Going black” is all very nice but the people who are voting to make this thing a reality aren’t looking at your Tumblr. They are looking for your vote to keep them in power, and you have to show them how they’re going to lose that vote if they pass the bills.
I have written to both my Senators, and received responses from both. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) is a...

Post-holiday child scheduling had the boys with their madre for a week and tonight begins a week with Ken, with us. I can’t overstate how good it is to see them after that long. Our normal schedule is closer to 50+/50 and after this week we will be back to that version of reality.
Aside from hanging out with das kinders, the highlights of my day were (1) the pink sky sunset as I drove...

I’m the PM on a little big deal job that has us as sub to another firm. Last week I sent an email to the prime clearly marked “consultant team distribution list” and asking for review of some strawman docs and about meeting attendees. No response, yo. Then this morning the mo’fo forwarded my entire email to the client. Good thing my original email was classy. But still,...

zappos database compromised
They’ve expired all the passwords, which means no one will be sending shoes to Nigerian Princes on your dime (and it wasn’t a horrible hack, as far as hacks go). Hopefully you are using unique passwords all over the web (you are using unique passwords all over the web, right?), but if you aren’t and you have a zappos account, now would be a good time to start. 1Password FTW.

“After scolding one’s cat one looks into its face and is seized by the ugly suspicion that it understood every word. And has filed it for reference.”-Charlotte Gray
I’ve had my own cats since my junior year of college. My first cat, Tepper, played chicken with a car and lost. This happened at the end of Thanksgiving break, in the middle of the time that I was supposed to...

Tebow's Religion: Fair Game →
some excerpts from the link above:
Before he ever took a snap in the NFL, he appeared in an anti-choice television ad with his mother that was sponsored by Focus on the Family, an influential anti-choice, anti-gay-rights organization founded by the Rev. James Dobson. He knew what he was doing.
…
Which made a lot of the chin-stroking about Tebow’s religion over the past weeks pretty...
But frankly I’ve hated the Denver Broncos since the 80s and this is just one more reason to root against them. 49ers forever.
Christians in this country are not oppressed. I know it’s a cute little narrative that the Christian right likes to throw around when people try to teach things like, uh, science, in schools, but Christians are the dominant religion in this country. As someone who doesn’t believe there is a God (or any god) and is subject to proselytizing and judgement for my beliefs, I don’t...

it's the showboating
and the fact that he thinks God cares about football.
edit: to those who say that he doesn’t say God has anything to do with football, I dunno how else to interpret this:
… Tebow approached defensive players before a home game against the New York Jets and told them not to fret, God’s got this. - cnsnews.com

to hope to be extraordinary
Some weeks are just weeks. They fall into that category of ordinary, which is the same as not extraordinary, except they are indeed extraordinary in the fact of our mere mortal existence. This was one of those weeks, just a week, a work list so mundane it need not be archived with words. The highlight of the evenings was Ken and our conversations, too late past bedtime, I love him so.
I once...

Act as if.
liquiddiamonds:
I’m not sure what self-help book I was reading in an attempt to cope with some perceived crisis (I used to have a lot of crises that really weren’t), but buried somewhere in Feel The Fear Of He’s Just Not That Into The Color Of Your Parachute, I came across this concept:
Act as if.
It’s a simple idea that has helped me immensely. Act as if there is no doubt you will achieve...

On BART. I worked from home yesterday because my lungs still demand to be coughed and migraine oy. No sign of the bird flus carriers yet, but I got on at the southernmost station, still plenty of time for the germs to onboard.
I think I need to do one of those cleanses, you know, the kind where you drink only water and carrot juice and are only allowed solid food in the form of vegan cacao...
Every single thing that crossed my desk today was severely annoying. That is, until 4:49 PM, when I wrote one of my favorite surly engineers to get his opinion on something and he responded in archetypal surliness. Day saved.
