Major Bedhead: While I'm Here
http://thebookishone.blogspot.com/2010/01/while-im-here.html
Please note: This blog is dragging itself out of the dark abyss of pish and crawling insanely up to the topmost pinnacle of posh. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and doodle. It is balder and dash. Sunday, January 31, 2010. I might as well put up a post. This is going to be totally random crappe. I slept in this morning. It was lo-o-o-o-o-ovely. I have an interview at Whole Paycheck on Wednesday. I don't know which job would be more dangerous for me; that place or a book shop. Of course, if I ...If yo...

Bub and Pie: Good Writer, Bad Person
http://bubandpie.blogspot.com/2010/02/good-writer-bad-person.html
Thursday, February 18, 2010. Good Writer, Bad Person. Pie has been coming home from kindergarten lately with some strange worksheets. What do you want more? One sheet asked. "A new car or a new house? I want an iPod Touch," another petition urged. The school has purchased a set of iPods, presumably for educational purposes, and the students have been urged to buy raffle tickets to win one of their very own. A friend of mine who is a grade five teacher has a similarly troubling story. The principal at...

There Is Such A Thing As Too Connected | Major Bedhead

8230;tastes just like glitter mixed with rock 'n' roll. There Is Such A Thing As Too Connected. I noticed something while I was at BlogHer last weekend. Bloggers are addicted to their technology. I realize this is not a revelation. Hell, I’m addicted to technology, too, even though I don’t have a smart phone. I do have an iTouch and a laptop and a fairly decent camera. I’m on Twitter and Facebook and Flickr and Linked In. The Night I Danced With Barack Obama. Aug 14, 2010. Aug 14, 2010. Aug 14, 2010.

Random Randomness | Major Bedhead

8230;tastes just like glitter mixed with rock 'n' roll. I keep thinking of blog posts at inopportune times, like in the shower (which makes writing it down difficult) or while I’m driving (also not a good place to be hunting for paper and a pen) and of course, I forget them by the time I have more than 10 seconds to myself. Totally gross me out. Wow, this was more than a litte whingy. Three weeks until New York City. So. Freakin’. Excited. A Matter Of Trust. Jul 17, 2010. Jul 18, 2010. Jul 18, 2010.

And I'll Raise You 5: Averting Awkward Alliteration
http://andillraiseyou5.blogspot.com/2014/10/averting-awkward-alliteration.html
Little T learned about alliteration today in school, and she had a great time creating little one line "poems" with her classmates. My personal favorite, koan-like in its profound simplicity, is this:. The careful cat cooked colorful cupcakes in the courtyard. Let that soak into your brain for a moment. It's pure beauty, right? She remembered many of the others she composed at school:. The lion licked lots of lemon lollipops. Savana slid down several slippery slides. Thank you, 5th grader.). Mommy was pr...

A Matter Of Trust | Major Bedhead
https://majorbedhead.wordpress.com/2010/07/24/a-matter-of-trust
8230;tastes just like glitter mixed with rock 'n' roll. A Matter Of Trust. I’ve been pondering trust lately, seeing as my trust was pretty well ripped up and thrown back in my face not that long ago. This seems to be a recurring theme in my life. Let’s enumerate:. High school boyfriend – verbally abusive and cheated on me many times. College boyfriend – didn’t cheat on me. Pretty decent guy, actually, things just didn’t work out. I don’t make any bones about my issues, I put them out there from the...

And I'll Raise You 5: Cupcake Dreams
http://andillraiseyou5.blogspot.com/2014/12/cupcake-dreams.html
I want to be a kid again. I want to tell stories the way my youngest daughter does. I want to dream about cupcakes. And I really, really want a Dream Teller of my very own. During dinner last night, Little T was devouring my homemade spaghetti sauce and making me feel like Martha Stewart, Julia Child, and Ree Drummond. All rolled into one, and she mentioned that she knew she was going to have a good dinner tonight because her Dream Teller told her so. Come again, daughter? 21 February, 2015 12:15. NaBloP...

And I'll Raise You 5: March 2014
http://andillraiseyou5.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Denial is a river you can float pretty far on. Sunday started far too early yesterday. Curse that Daylight Savings Time thing. There I was, cuddling up with my youngest at 6:45am, feeling the full effects of missing a precious hour of snooze. She, on the other hand, was radiant at that ungodly hour. She climbed in bed, looked up at me with a satisfied smile, tucked her hands behind her head and sighed blissfully:. Ahhhh, it felt so good to get an extra hour of sleep last night. And that actually, we lost.

And I'll Raise You 5: On Laundry and New Beginnings
http://andillraiseyou5.blogspot.com/2015/01/on-laundry-and-new-beginnings.html
On Laundry and New Beginnings. I don't make New Years Resolutions. Per se. Instead, I spend the whole last week of each year in a perpetual state of "Oh My Gosh I Need To Read More, Eat Less, Breathe More, Yell Less, Calm the F Down, and Take Charge.". Then I resolve to be a better person. All vague and stuff. Because really, resolutions don't work. December 31 is just a day on a calendar. It doesn't matter. It's not significant. Anyway, who the hell knows? How keep resolutions to be better? But one othe...

http://andillraiseyou5.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Wherein a Cynic Rethinks Some Things. All those awesome happy beautiful good life photos we see on social media: they're all a total crock, right? When my kids see their friends' super cool Instagram photos and respond by decrying their own boring lives, I whip out my tried and true lecture entitled The Problem with Social Media and wax on and on about the insidious nature of the filtered, photoshopped, edited, culled and selectively presented Beautiful Life we think everyone but us is having. And I imme...
