FM Feature:
And Now Back To Our Regularly Scheduled Mocking of Me
From Amalah
So we went back to New York this weekend. So we saw Rent again, for the second time in two months. So what, you wanna fight about it?
We didn't sit quite so near those people this time, although I did get to overhear the charming story of how a Renthead met her boyfriend? In the line? And he was a Renthead? And they've been together ever since? And they've seen the show like, way more times than you? What? No, he's not here today because he had to work? At the Gap?
I heard this from seven rows away. It's like I have a nerdsense. A very, very hypocritical nerdsense...

Maddie has been keeping a blog for a few months now. I kept this from you because most of the time the Internet is like a big bear hug but sometimes the Internet is like a sloppy grope in the dark and it makes you angry.
But Internet, I know if I show you my nearly 9-year-old daughter's blog you'll be cool...

Chinese soup spoons help toddlers feed themselves

Jon and I spent a few hours today pricing out fireplace inserts because it has snowed three times in the last two weeks, and the dog, he has no pyre around which to pray and speak to dead people. Have you guys ever seen him do that? The communing with things unseen? Let me see if we have any photos of him doing this at the old house… wait… here’s one...

Why you're so money and you don't even know it
From Sweetney
For the past two weeks Jamie has been working ridiculous hours, often not getting home until I'm nearly in bed. It's crunch time for a web project they've been working on at his company, a project which I have vowed to not disclose details about to the internet under pain of death and/or dismemberment. But suffice it to say it's big and involved and high-profile, and that it has become a gigantic, soul-sucking black hole at the center of our family life. When I do catch the odd, fleeting glimpse of Jamie at home I now say “Oh, do you still live here?” -- and it's not much of a joke, really...
Published on Handmade cardholders and pouches
From Dooce
I don’t remember where I first heard about seabreezestudio, but when I ordered a cardholder made with fabric covered in adorable hedgehogs, I knew that Leta would see it, love it, and then demand to sleep with it clutched underneath her arm at night. Someone once asked me about the oddest thing Leta has ever asked to sleep with, and that’s kind of a hard question. It’s all odd. What makes a bottle of ketchup more odd than a roll of toilet paper when thinking about it in terms of something that my daughter has snuggled with? ...
