I Neutered My Macbook
Crunch. Whirrrrr. Crunch. Whirrrr. Crunch. Whirrrrrr. I know you’ve all heard gears grind before, right? It’s actually been proven that sound is worse than Lloyd Christmas’ most annoying sound in the world. It’s really truly awful. That was the sound I heard as I put down the foot rest on our reclining couch last night. …
in Life Letting Myself Off The Hook
This is the year I’m finally going to do it. That’s been the mantra of every single year since I very first thought about self-improvement and had the smallest desire to make myself better.

There’s so much trash talk. SO MUCH trash talk. Everyone is dissing each other and the hot takes fly off …
in Life Should I Ride an Amtrak Train with Kids?
On a whim we decided to try and take the train on an end of summer family vacation. It’s something we’ve talked about quite a few times before, but never gone through with it for one reason or another. Nearly every person we talked to about it gave us the same response: “OH! We’ve talked …

This is something I wrote years ago on a different blog I used to have, but after seeing Inside Out yesterday, I was reminded how awesome Pixar is, and what a special place their creations have in my life. So today I bring back Dear Pixar, Thank You. Entertainment seems to be a hot button …
About Me
