I appear to have signed up for Pinterest. I’ve been resisting this one for a while, as I felt like I needed another place to keep stuff on the Internet like I needed another hole in my head ((As in life, I’m trying to rein in my hoarding tendencies.)). I mean, I’ve got my blog […] →Read more
As you know, we’d given names to 3 of our 5 frogs, but were hoping that the remaining 2 frogs would do something distinctive so that we could come up with names for them too. Well, we’ve given these guys a few more days and they have failed to do anything that allows us to […] →Read more
One year ago today, I started playing a hockey game that didn’t stop for 10 days, 3 hours, and 5 minutes. It’s hard to believe that it’s been a whole year since then, but also, as I’m finding always seems to happen with really pivotal events, it also seems a lifetime ago. Even when I […] →Read more

As well, when you actually plan your meals, you make can then make sure that you […] →Read more
Tomorrow, I Shall Write About Something Other Than Frogs
But not today. Today I shall post the video I mentioned yesterday. Now, I’ll give you fair warning – this video may not be amusing to anyone other than me. Also, the frogs spend a lot of time frozen still, so in the 7.5 minutes of video, there’s probably 1 minute of any kind of […] →Read more
Since we got them, I’ve spend an inordinate amount of time staring at my frogs. I can’t help it. They are adorable and they have the funniest little behaviours. They often like to hide and get into the tightest little spots in their tank – which freaks me out because I’m afraid they’ll get stuck […] →Read more
And so ends my glorious, glorious vacation. Before my vacation started, I knew that I was in need of this time off, but I don’t think I realized just how much I needed it. I’d been going pretty much non-stop since the beginning of January – with work and school and teaching and top secret […] →Read more
