Hang out with the epic Zombiepalooza show! My portion starts an hour into the show, and runs for about 50 minutes. I really had a lot of fun. 🙂 You can watch the video here. Jackie and crew really work hard to put together something special. Thank you so much, you guys!
Hey. This Is How You Pick Up Chicks.
Nope, I’m not being sexist. I’m being literal, and it’s AWESOME. This is also how you pick up chicks. 😛 We went and picked up five of the little darlings. Originally the plan was for four, but this tiny baby chick was being crushed into the corner by its siblings. “We want that one,” I said. “She probably … Read More

Take My Hand and Write a Poem with Me.
We went on vacation to the sea. Salt water always makes things better, yes? But we came back exhausted, and ill, and I have the desire to create but I’m very low on energy. I can’t pull the words I need from my head. Let’s borrow somebody else’s words. Found poetry. I’d love for you to do this with me! … Read More

An Open Letter: Alobar Holoprosencephaly
Dear Beautiful Stranger, You found my blog by searching for the phrase “should i hold my holoprosencephaly baby after birth”. My heart goes out to you, love. I’m pretty sure that your heart is breaking right now. I know you’ve been researching the diagnosis like crazy. I’m also pretty sure that you were as terrified of the pictures as I … Read More
Fear, #YesAllWomen, and Threats
We’re all familiar and, hopefully, sickened by Elliot Rodger’s killing spree last week. I’m not necessarily going to talk about that. He blamed his breakdown on women for not fulfilling his sexual desires and for throwing themselves at other men. Most likely men who wouldn’t stab or gun them down in a lackadaisical fashion, but I’m not necessarily going to … Read More
Happy Memorial Day, My Loves.
May this be a day of peace and joy for you. May we remember those who fought for us, recall fondly those we lost, and rejoice in those who remain. All of my love.
Miss Murder’s Easy DIY: Cannibalizing Crayons
The kiddos are out of school so often that they hardly remember what it is. For example, summer vacation starts in two weeks and they’re out today for Staff Development. Really? The three of them fought, argued, broke one of my favorite dishes, and filled the sugar canister with water before 7:30 this morning. By 8:00 AM the garbage disposal … Read More
