Dear Bill,
Please submit accurate injury reports about Wes Welker. It’s very difficult for me to set my fantasy line up if you continue to list him as questionable.
Sincerely,
Everyone with Wes on their Fantasy Team and is struggling at the WR position
PS – LOVE the sweatshirts.

I work nights. I had two days off. I’ve spent the last hour that I’ve been awake believing it was Monday. It’s Friday. I love working nights.

Screen shots of your Twitter feed are almost enough to make me sign up for an account so I can follow your big bag of crazy 24/7. Child please! Can’t wait to see @T.O.: They just don’t understand us, I cry too!

Please do not remark about my non-ambulatory daughter not wearing shoes when it is 85 degrees outside. You stick to making my frappucino and I’ll stick to taking care of my child. Thanks for your concern.

In an effort to clean up the clutter in my sewing room/office/place to store my sloppy mess and keep the door closed I started looking through old junk. I found a manila folder full of old college papers I saved for a portfolio I never had to do. Oh LAS requirements, what an epic fail. The first paper I found was an English paper written on Pantheistic Monism. I kid you not! I couldn’t make that up!! Does anyone even know what that means? These are just words that I’m not even sure go together. I blame someone with a PhD and shake my fist at higher education. I’ll give you some Pantheistic Monism….as soon as I figure out what it is.
Next I found 2 papers for Philosophy. I would like to take this time to point out that my Philosophy/Health care Ethics professor had a different tie dyed t-shirt for every day of the week, and complained constantly about how he made no money and his wife (a NICU nurse) made no money. Cry me a river! I bet he could explain Pantheistic Monism. So first I’m reading this paper for which I received an A- because that crazy hippie disagreed with my stance that the strongest don’t survive while the weakest die off, because society will always carry the weak along. He actually wrote the comment, “watch the news and see how the real world works”. No Ron White (yeah, I called him out in the blogosphere…what’s up now?!), YOU watch the news. The socialized world ALWAYS carries the weakest links along while the strong have to work longer and harder to support those who don’t support themselves. I deserved an A +. You want to know what Ron White paper I did get an A+ on?? The Philosophy paper on human sexuality where I discussed our female ancestors using sex to obtain goods and the evolution to modern prostitution. I also got an A+ on the Health care ethics final where I caved in and decided to be a democrat for an hour and support socialized medicine. I won’t go into details, but the meeting about my paper pre-socialism was painful for all involved. I gave myself up for an A, I’m still ashamed…and I still can’t sit down without a pillow. Trust me, it’s better if that’s all you know.
Finally there is the absolute hilarious sociology paper further proving that no one takes sociology seriously. The paper was to be written in APA format, mine is not even close. I didn’t reference a single one of the quotes I used, nor did I give the required intro paragraph. I also discussed how previous generations of women didn’t stand up at Seneca Falls or burn their bras for Britney Spears to dance around in her underware. Really? This is an A paper?
Liberal arts was supposed to make me a more well rounded person, but really it just taught me how little work I needed to do to get the grades I wanted. Thank you higher education!

Our last few trips to the park have been chock full of stupid to say the least. First, there’s a handicapped swing at the park and that’s the one swing that every kid wants to use. Whatever, it’s not like there’s a line of wheelchair bound children waiting their turn or anything. So a couple of weeks ago some kid gets in the handi-swing and starts yelling at Aaron and I (who were less than 3 feet away) to push him. Um, seriously?! Is that how you ask for something? And where is your mom!? Why isn’t she over here teaching you some manners? I just told the kid we were too busy.
As if that weren’t bad enough, cell phone moms are my new enemy. Why bother taking your kid to the park if you aren’t going to pay any attention to them? Since when is playground the new babysitter? It’s not my job to maintain your child on the playground. Then there was this (teenage) mom and her mom sitting in the middle of the play area smoking. I didn’t notice until I decided to leave the young kiddie area to go swing on the big swings with Elise. Really? Who lights up in the middle of a playground?! The more I leave the house, the more I feel like I’m being punk’d by the world. Is this some sort of joke? Get off your cell phone and pay attention to your kid and put that Virginia Slim down!!

It’s no secret that I’ve developed a love for fabric and sewing. My favorites are Amy Butler’s Lotus line, anything by Denyse Schmidt and Heather Ross Lightning Bugs and Westhill lines. Here’s what I’m NOT a fan of: fabric price gouging. It’s become a common, yet annoying practice, for people on Etsy or Ebay to list their fabrics at outrageous prices simply because these fabrics are hard to find. For example, Heather Ross’s Lightning Bugs line is discontinued and it was recently announced that due to a non-compete she’ll be taking a hiatus from fabric designing altogether for a few years. I saw 4 yards of her goldfish fabric on Ebay for $104. Seriously? Who is paying $104 for fabric. More examples, Denyse Schmidt’s Flea Market Fancy line which is almost impossible to find in yards, sells in fat quarters on Etsy for $9. An 18×22″ piece of fabric for $9? I just bought yardage for $9. If you want to inspire me to save handmade, don’t make a grab for my wallet please.
A moment to lament the cute things I can’t afford…….
Denyse Schmidt – Flea Market Fancy
Heather Ross – Lightning Bugs & Other Mysteries
Heather Ross uses a ton of Flea Market Fancy fabric in her book “Weekend Sewing”. It’s like salt in my fabric wound.

Ryan Widmer’s home is going under foreclosure. Really, it made the news. The guy is, for the moment, in prison for killing his wife. I’m pretty sure he’s got bigger problems than his house (without a bathtub, I might add). And while I’m on this Ryan Widmer subject, what kind of moron jurors go home and perform their own experiments? Nevermind my opinion on whether or not he’s guilty, let’s talk about simple kindergarten skills. As an experienced juror, I know that you can only choose to accept or disregard information provided as evidence in the courtroom. You are free to practice being Mr. Wizard on your own time, but you are not free to bring your Mr. Wizardry (yep, I said it) to the juror room. DUMB.

Wait a second…after all the terrible teams made it to the playoffs, now old Kurt is taking his walker (and the Cardinals?!?!) to the NFC Division Championship????
Plus the Steelers play the Chargers which is just enough to make me cheer for the referee. Go line judge!
