Confessions of an occasional utterer


Ok - I will admit it! I just had a TOTALLY liquid dinner, if you know what I mean. Maybe not nutritious, but kind of fun. Wish me luck for the rest of the evening. Cheers!

ever been to Botswana???


mooomie is looking for practical tips - what do you do when you go to Botswana to help your chances of survival?? How do you fend off a lion? There wasn't a section in my parenting book about Botswana, so I'm at a loss.

Mooomie's cure - for even the worst vortex-itis


Snow, sun, and cold beer. If you are from Canada, it seems so natural. In the US you have to work a bit to make it happen. But it worked - my vortex-itis is now gone. No more feeling of being sucked down some huge hole. I feel a lot better - that is, if I forget about my now REALLY sore legs, and my sunburn. But who can complain about those kinds of things? I'll limp around tomorrow all day with pride.

my niece's gerbil Vee


Here is a photo of my niece's gerbil. Isn't she cute? Maybe even cuter that ChrisK's birds - well ALMOST cuter!

Sorry for the lack of replies to all your utterz. Right now things are a bit crazy. You'll probably hear eventually. In the meantime, enjoy Vee!

New use for Utterz wristbands!


Silly me - I thought they were for wrists! Or for hats for birthday hamsters. Turns out they are for hair! If only I were 19 and things were as obvious to me!

Happy Easter weekend everyone!

It's great to be a girl: car problems solved


A phone call and a "look", and all my car problems have gone away! I wonder if there is anything else that needs fixing around here?

Someone stole my username!! :(


This is NOT a big deal, ... but still ... I went to create an account at You Tube (so I could post my video utterz there), and SOMEONE has already used mooomie! I've heard of identity theft, but this is going too far. Time to call in the Feds.



If anyone out there knows who the impostor is, please let me know. There isn't room for two mooomies in this world.

Flat tires, rust. I need to go somewhere warm



No tires in the entire universe for mooomie's car. And my daughter's car won't pass inspection. Time to go to an alternative universe. Or somewhere warm.

Tales of flat tire woes .... :(



Sigh!! Life was going so well. I really didn't need a fourth tire for the car. I can always walk.

lesson learned - DON'T go to NY with a flat tire


Well, I got half way there before my tire stopped holding air completely!! Then an hour at a tire store where the guys that worked insisted they didn't have a replacement and wouldn't fix it. Then a very slow ride home.



No New York city for mooomie. :(



Time to eat some ice crea.!

Going to NYC when you have nothing to wear?


Can I go if I have nothing to wear? Do you need to plan before you go to the "Big City"? Can I just wear my pajamas?? How can I decide when my hubby is on the phone TALKING TO HIS MOTHER????? And who invented mother-in-laws, anyway???

Join the fun! Who needs SXSW when there is NXNE! And if you really think about it, NXNE is for everyone, because every place is North and Northeast of somewhere else. So join in!

SUV size vs Parking ability - mooomie's graph!


I've been waiting to do this one for a while! Why is it that the people with the biggest cars are the worst drivers? Parking ability is obviously inversely proportional to SUV size.

NXNE - for those of us still at home ...


We can't all be in Austin. Things can be fun in your own hometown. On a Sunday night! By yourself. Really. I have my birthday hamster here to keep me company. What could be finer?

Happiness over time - the IRS effect


Sorry guys but I've started graphing again. That's because the IRS wrote a lovely letter to my daughter last week, asking for more in taxes than she made in income! Which made me have to start wading through the piles of papers we have upstairs. Which made me remember that it is indeed tax time. Which stressed me out!

My solution, which is always my solution when stressed, is to make crappy graphs!

my package from my mom - not Shreddies!


OK, my mom looses the best mom of the year award. What kind of mother would send their daughter dishtowels? Used dishtowels? Dish towels for every day of the week? With pictures on them of all the other chores I should be doing on those days ...
