Do Something Silly Day 5

This may explain a few things about me. Meet my Mom. I get my silly honest. Here we are being normal. For us. 😀 If you can’t dance with your Mom, just stop in and visit mine. She’ll probably dance with you, if you’re brave enough! (PS: My Mom is awesome)

Do Something Silly Day 4

This one may not seem particularly silly, and until I did it, I didn’t think it was silly either. We were in a parade today, celebrating Independence Day, and advertising for Vacation Bible School next week. That part isn’t silly. In fact, here’s our float: Lovely, no? Yes, well the silly part is that I thought it would be a … Read more

Do Something Silly Day 3

It’s the holiday weekend, so I say it’s time to get CRAZY. I know I did. I went out and BROKE THE RULES, BABY! This silly thing may be too dangerous for some of you, but for those daring enough to follow in my freakishly rebellious shoes — feel free. I gotta go, I think I hear the cops…

Dear Future Shawn,

How does this keep happening to me?!?!?? OK, don’t answer that. Tonight is Wednesday, which means youth group at church. It’s 8:30, and we just got home. BUT, I have a video and possibly an article due for the Linux Journal website, must pack for Penguicon, must send refined interview questions to Gareth Greenaway for an article due Monday, and … Read more

A Particularly Poopy Puppy

This was Phoebe when we adopted her 10 months ago: Unfortunately, after 10 months of effort, she hasn’t gotten any better at housebreaking. In fact, we’ve remodeled our kitchen to keep the dogs away from the carpet, because regardless of our efforts, Phoebe poops and pees everywhere. If you’re thinking we’re just silly, naive humans — please understand Donna and … Read more
