testing mom's limits...





this is what happens when you tell a 3-year-old "hurry up and get dressed, otherwise i'll leave you home with dad".  yep, that would be a t-shirt around his waist and pants on his head.


wit and wisdom of youth...


this also falls under the category of "woo-hoo!  dad's in charge!"


mom:  "what is this?"
sophie:  "tiger boy."
mom:  "who did this?"
sophie:  "laura."
mom:  "who is laura?"
sophie:  "laura is in trouble."


yes, laura, you are in trouble!

random quote...


"some people never go crazy. what truly horrible lives they must lead."

-henry chinaski in barfly



"i'd hate to be you if i were me."

-eddie in barfly



"i remember ordering a draught, barkeep.  what, are you out of brew, or has that lobotomy finally taken hold?"

-henry chinaski in barfly



artistic expression...

this creation is inspired by the movie hoodwinked (a twisted whodunit take on little red riding hood).  i especially love how the big bad wolf's character pays homage to chevy chase's "fletch".  that, along with red's sarcasm and granny's love of x-treme sports, makes for an awesome adventure.  awesome purple pigtails, soph.

confessions...


if you ask my husband, he'll emphatically proclaim "kim hates westerns".  and that would be about 99.99% accurate.  but, i must admit, during my late-night channel surfing sessions i have found myself pausing on (and subsequently enjoying) the following movies:

the magnificent seven
a fist full of dollars
the good, the bad and the ugly
westworld (yeah, yeah i know "technically" it is sci-fi)

but i still can't get into the unforgiven.

shhhh!  whatever you do, don't tell orhan.  he'll never let me live this down.  he already makes me watch shalako everytime it's on.

the tao of bumper stickers...




recent kids' reads...

kid, interrupted (part deux)

recent reads...



political musings for the politically unamused.


pardon the interruption...



if you've noticed a lapse in my posting it's because i've been desperately trying to get past the "medium" level of guitar hero.  just ask my kids how it's going, they haven't eaten in weeks.
