Handymom

Posted on December 7, 2011 by BrassyDel

My father is not handy. He has many skills, but you simply will not find him with a power tool or a paint brush. My mother is a different story entirely, and the garage workbench was always hers. Why, then, do I lament that my own husband is only a very reluctant handyman? I married a geek, and such a…

Where Are They Now?

Posted on September 22, 2011 by BrassyDel

Apparently, it is now Autumn. And almost October. Just yesterday? The middle of August. I have no idea where those last few weeks went. Somewhere in there, Chappy got bigger. Heck, even Pixie has grown a little (no, I’m sure she has! Maybe?). Chappy started crawling, then proceeded swiftly to sitting up by himself, and then instantly to pulling himself…

What to Wear Wednesday: SHOES

Posted on July 6, 2011 by BrassyDel

I’m channeling Jenny On The Spot right now so that I can bring you What to Wear Wednesday. In fact, Jenny even talked about shoes already here. So. Shoes. Oft overlooked (by men like my husband), they serve a purpose besides just protecting your feet. Your shoes say something about you, and your presentation to the world, and even how…

Clearly, I Can’t Be Trusted

Posted on March 21, 2011 by BrassyDel

As in, I can’t be trusted to be alone with my toddler for all of two hours without winding up in the ER. Again. Friday I told you guys about my first ER visit, which was about three or four weeks ago. After rehoming those two adorable snugglers-slash-allergen-launchers, my breathing improved quickly. Unfortunately, I was still battling the part where…

Air Purr-ifiers

Posted on March 18, 2011 by BrassyDel

I am one of those idiotic people who grew up allergic to cats, yet as an adult adopted a cat. In my defense, Damien was so low dander that he didn’t seem to cause me any issues, and my cat allergy in general is very mild (according to the doctor’s office test I had years later, which pinpointed that I…

On The Catwalk

Posted on January 20, 2011 by BrassyDel

Yesterday we got only a small amount of snow, but the weather conditions were just perfect for Mother Nature to issue a big, laughing, one-finger gesture to all of the rush hour drivers in Boulder (which included The Hubbles). He stayed at a friend’s house, who lives about 5 minutes from The Hub’s work, and yet it still took over…

Clearly, I’m a Bad Mother

Posted on October 26, 2010 by BrassyDel

Apparently, it had been just slightly too long between diaper changes and miss Pixie was soaked. Soaked! I got her totally stripped down and changed and then had to run upstairs to grab her some dry clothes. In the time it took me to get upstairs, grab her clothes, and run back downstairs, Pixie was already up on the futon…

One Man’s Weed…

Posted on September 21, 2009 by BrassyDel

…is another man’s wildflower. That man is my Hubbles. One of our constant arguments is what is a weed and what is actually a flower? For example, there’s an ugly bunch of weeds in our front yard next to the driveway. They grow like wildfire, they’re kind of spiky, and they have gnarly-looking yellow flowers. Hubbles says they’re flowers, duh….

Getting close!

Posted on April 29, 2009 by BrassyDel

Well, we’re about 6 weeks from Baby’s due date. Realistically, that means she could arrive as early as 2 or 3 weeks from now and still be “full term” or as late as 7 or 8 weeks from now. We’ve gotten some of our baby prep into gear, like setting up the nursery. It needed a little bit of paint…

Puppy Progress

Posted on April 14, 2009 by BrassyDel

The bed retraining seems to be pretty much complete. It went a lot easier than I feared, with only the first few nights of actively removing doggies from the bed. I think part of the success has been Tank’s “new bed” though. We’re moving some furniture around to set up the baby’s room, and the extra bed is now going…
