Creative Minds for Charity Challenge
Posted by: ainse on: April 23, 2008
As you may or may not know, Etsy (“your place to buy & sell all things handmade”) is very community oriented. As such, members of the site often join together to form “street teams”. These teams are to help unite those with common interests or goals and provide a place for support and knowledge. The [...]

1:40 AM. Peaceful slumber.
1:41 AM. “Honk. Honk. Honk, honk, HONK!”
1:42 AM. “HONK, honk, honk. Honk. Honk.”
1:43 AM. “Honk. Honk. Honk, HONK, honk!”
1:44 AM. Me groggily raising my head from my pillow and looking around confusedly. Did I set my alarm to goose instead of music? Is someone’s car alarm on the fritz? Are we being [...]
Pets.
Posted by: ainse on: April 15, 2008
We have two Siamese cats (Jasper, a big, grumpy, but very needy chocolate point, and Zoey, the blue point runt of the litter, who plays like a kitten even though she’s 11) and a one year old Husky-Collie-maybe-Shepherd-cross dog named Shylo. Growing up, I also had two cats and a dog, which is either a [...]
Why I love working from home.
Posted by: ainse on: April 9, 2008
1. I don’t commute;
2. I’m in a calm, idiot-free zone;
3. I can watch “Bold & the Beautiful” at lunch (oh shoot, did I say that aloud?);
4. I have a whole fridge to myself;
5. No microwave line-up;
6. No fluorescent lighting;
7. My windows can open;
8. No one drops by my desk and gabs incessantly for 20 minutes;
9. [...]
Team Christ Almighty Already

Before reading, please note that I do not mean any disrespect whatsoever to anyone regarding their religious beliefs. This post is only a comment on the latest episode of Big Brother.
I have a PVR so I usually watch shows a day late.
Anyway, I watched Sunday’s episode tonight where the alliance, otherwise known as “Team Christ”, [...]

Yeah, so why did I think I could write 30 posts in 30 days? It’s friggin’ HARD! I mean, it’d be a lot easier if I had fun and interesting things to report, but I really don’t. Unless you want to talk about belligerent 6 year olds.
I’m not sure I understand when kids were suddenly [...]
Nothin’ like a little spring cleaning.
Posted by: ainse on: April 5, 2008
Today I decided to clean out my car. It was so completely disgusting from winter that I couldn’t stand it anymore. There were old gas receipts, dog hairs all over the seats, last year’s summer soccer schedule, one of the those drinkable yogurts (mostly empty) in that little compartment in the back door (thanks, son, [...]

How’s that for stupid letters?
That’s what I said last night as I was drifting off to sleep last night and realized that I hadn’t blogged. You’d think I could make it a little longer than two days before slipping. So now what? Do I fail? Do I have to wait until May and [...]

Likely you can’t get the full effect of this lovely new addition to my son’s door, so fee free to click on it. It opens up nicely to reveal the amount of money I have to pay to enter his room (and the dire consequences if I don’t).
I really do not know where he came [...]

I know all you out there in bloggy land are already familiar with the NaBloPoMo (I can hear your “been there, done that” murmurs), but being new to blogging, it might be beneficial for me, so I’m giving it a shot.
The April theme is “letters”. (I’m not sure how that’ll work, since there are 26 [...]
