Oops

This is what I get for being in a hurry to push out a new blog design.  I forgot to do the cross-browser check.  If you visited this site using Internet explorer earlier today:

1) I apologize that it looked like crap.  It’s mostly fixed now.

2) You should seriously consider using a better browser.  Failing that, at least write letters demanding that if the geniuses at Microsoft are going to insist on bundling their browser into every computer that’s sold, the least they could do is come up with a browser that can read code without being hacked to death.

Toe Woe

I’m not entirely certain, but I think I may have just broken my toe.

I was chasing Kaelin around with a night shirt (Um… does anyone else’s daughter throw a total fit about what she wears to bed?  Kaelin told me point-blank that she no longer thinks t-shirts are “cool” enough to be part of her wardrobe.  Not COOL ENOUGH?  It’s a NIGHT SHIRT.  Who is she trying to impress in her SLEEP???  Anyway...) and I smacked my little toe on a chair.

It really hurts now.

Ow.

Under Attack

“DIE, YOU LITTLE SUCKERS!”

Kaelin issues the battle cry, while I commence rolling over the little demons with the sticky lint brush.

It’s true - we are under attack.  The ants have taken over our kitchen and no amount of Terminix visits seems to bring their population under control.  Apparently the insides of our walls are teeming with them, and being thwarted only makes them more determined to find new ways to breach the wall into our kitchen.  We have baited the light switch outlet and the electrical outlets, and treated the yard and border of the house.  This morning Jens had to caulk a pore-sized hole near the window that they were using as the Mont Blanc Tunnel.

Up to this point, the unrelenting ants have been a moderate nuisance.  But today I have run out of patience.  As of today, this is WAR and I will not be defeated.

Children’s Museum

Overall, we had a delightful time, except for one minor incident…

Y’ALL, I BROKE MY CAMERA. 

Mere days before we leave for Singapore and I killed it.  Or rather, the ground killed it after a little run-in that was basically totally my fault for being in a hurry.  My favorite lens is now in multiple pieces.

AAAGGGHHH.

Fortunately, I had my video camera in my purse.  But that’s not very consoling right now.  So enjoy the video while I go sulk for a while.
