Spamifred: Oh Hai
http://spamifred.blogspot.com/2011/08/oh-hai.html
Documenting life, change, and finally growing up. Sunday, August 21, 2011. OK, I did it again. I ignored The Blog while life intervened. In the meanwhile, though, some Stuff happened. 1 We got moved. 2 We had visitors - my husband's oldest 2 kids, their mom, and their younger sister visited. 3 We went to go see my husband's family for their annual family vacation. 4 We got rid of internet at home. 5 We had a few weeks of breathlessly hoping that we could afford to make it through August. No, we don't hav...

Spamifred: September 2011
http://spamifred.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Documenting life, change, and finally growing up. Friday, September 2, 2011. We moved away from the coast in July 2009 and since then have been back to visit Santa Cruz exactly once. We're going back tomorrow for the long weekend. I hope there is fog. I hope we find weirdness. I hope we can walk down Pacific Avenue Mall and visit the pizza joint and Bookshop Santa Cruz and glance up to see the bands playing at the Catalyst that we'll never pay money to see. Oh, Santa Cruz. I miss you, and I fear goin...

Spamifred: Stuff Like Whoa
http://spamifred.blogspot.com/2011/07/stuff-like-whoa.html
Documenting life, change, and finally growing up. Wednesday, July 20, 2011. Here's an interesting exercise. Give away 1/3 of your possessions, decide that another 1/6 is trash. Then move into a place 2/3 the size of your current home. Then watch your things multiply! This was our fatal error: not taking into account the fact that the garage doesn't "count" in the square footage of our house. So 1500 feet is actually, well, a lot more. He wears the same 3 things every week! Ironically, I think the only st...

Spamifred: Netflix Price Hike
http://spamifred.blogspot.com/2011/07/netflix-price-hike.html
Documenting life, change, and finally growing up. Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Yesterday I, along with millions of other customers, got this e-mail from Netflix:. We are separating unlimited DVDs by mail and unlimited streaming into two separate plans to better reflect the costs of each. Now our members have a choice: a streaming only plan, a DVD only plan, or both. Your current $9.99 a month membership for unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs will be split into 2 distinct plans:.

Spamifred: Size 7
http://spamifred.blogspot.com/2011/08/size-7.html
Documenting life, change, and finally growing up. Thursday, August 25, 2011. Last year around this time a bunch of my friends had suggestive Facebook statuses: "I like it on the kitchen table," "I like it on the floor," etc. It was one of those breast cancer awareness "campaigns," where you were supposed to write where you keep your purse as your status. Those out of the loop were supposed to be scratching their heads at how saucy these people were while the rest of us giggled. I was pretty upset. I gues...

Spamifred: Please Stand By
http://spamifred.blogspot.com/2011/07/please-stand-by.html
Documenting life, change, and finally growing up. Sunday, July 17, 2011. Just checking in. We're in the middle of our move, and we got the internet up and running last night. However, we still have a lot of treks to make between the two houses not to mention deep cleaning 1500 feet of house. And work starts up again a week from tomorrow. So I have a lot of prep work to do there, too. So here's the deal with the new house: it's growing on me. We have most of our kitchen and master bedroom moved, but it do...

Spamifred: June 2011
http://spamifred.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Documenting life, change, and finally growing up. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Go the @$%# To Sleep. I came across the opinion piece " 'Go the F* * to Sleep' Not Funny. By Karen Spears Zacharias on CNN's website last night. Then she notes that the people buying this book are most likely good parents, who do read to their children at night and probably do not speak to their children in the manner depicted in the book. Or "WOW OMG if I drop stuff over the side of my high chair it falls down every time. They're ...
