The Train Game

Posted on March 25, 2013 by BrassyDel

I love board games but don’t have a lot of time for a traditional game night. When I was a kid, like middle and high school ages, we had Game Night with my mom. We all played video games, including my parents, but on Game Night we pulled out a board game and had treats like chocolate-covered mixed nuts and…

Brassy, Bane of Microwaves

Posted on March 11, 2013 by BrassyDel

I have personally killed four microwaves in just the last few years, two of which were not even mine. And by “killed” I mean “was the last person to push buttons on it or perhaps stand in the general vicinity when it inexplicably up and died”. Our last microwave was heating up dinner, which we’ll pretend was a plate of…

Dancin’ Girl

Posted on February 25, 2013 by BrassyDel

Pixie can stand unsupported again! Sort of. For a little while, if she’s feeling up to it, anyway. Her friend, The Perfectly Pink Princess, was over for a playdate recently and was doing somersaults and dancing like crazy, so Pixie inched away from the play table to stand up all by myself and wiggled her elbows. “I dancing!” Oh, she…

Donut Don’ts

Posted on February 18, 2013 by BrassyDel

I have a thyroid problem, because my immune system likes to pick on it. Like other people with autoimmune Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, I seem to be sensitive to gluten (and, sadly, coffee, which is molecularly similar to both gluten and thyroid tissue). So I avoid gluten, which happens to be present in just about every food I might tell you is…

I Make These Scrubs Look Sexy

Posted on February 11, 2013 by BrassyDel

After my stint at the VA, I worked for a private lab attached to a clinic. I did a lot of tissue culture, which is one of my favorite things, and a lot of record-keeping, which was pleasantly organized. That sounds like a backwards compliment, but it’s not. I really do enjoy organized data collection, and our lab director had…

These Boots Were Made for Science Workin’

Posted on February 4, 2013 by BrassyDel

When I finally reached my last semester in college, I almost chickened out of graduating. There were so many cool classes I still wanted to take, and I hadn’t realized how bloody close I was to a minor in Biochem soon enough to do anything about it. But tuition kept going up and I was working part time doing QA/RA…

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Posted on January 14, 2013 by BrassyDel

I started to tell you all about Pixie’s surgeries, but I couldn’t stand my own angst. I’ve been very stressed and Pixie’s determination to break herself further has made a major dent in my ability to cope. We had a terrible day recently where she was in a lot of pain from nobody knows what and we’d already been back…

Apple Picking

Posted on January 7, 2013 by BrassyDel

Gramma’s backyard is on the small-to-average size as far as suburban American backyards go, but it boasts a small garden and a nice, big apple tree. Before Pixie’s first surgery in September, we had an apple picking party, which really just means all the grandkids were thrown together in the backyard and big people helped them pick apples. Or, if…

My Son, the Parking Attendant

Posted on December 28, 2012 by BrassyDel

Chappy is almost 2 now and has recently entered the part of his life where cars are everything. Now, Pixie likes cars, but what she really loves are trains. For Chappy, a train is merely an acceptable approximation of a car. You are far more likely to find him lining up every single car he can find on his sister’s…

I Resolve to Suck Less

Posted on December 21, 2012 by BrassyDel

I’m pretty fond of Cracked articles. I think there are quite a few good writers working there and I love the mix of fact and humor in a lot of their articles. Recently I read this one by David Wong discussing self-improvement and how other people view us. It’s worth a read, so go do that. Right now, in fact….
