Pack It Up
I was busy filling boxes the other day, and Rob remarked that I was not writing on the outside of the box what it contained. Well, let’s see. A swimsuit, a few CDs, a few books, some knicknacks, a few toys, some art supplies, etc. The list would take too long to write…. If you
Getting Support
I’m impressed. MySpace technical support rescued me from a self-induced problem. While it took them a while to get to it, they did manage to help me sort out the problem. (I’d argue that they should have a way of making sure the problem I created for myself doesn’t exist.) Now I’m having a minor
Spring Cleaning Microsoft Style
Straightening up my blogs and our impending move has inspired me to clean out other messes. If you know me well, you know I am not generally a clutterbug. I am allergic to most clutter…. However, we have some old laptops haning on for various purposes, and since they are so old and run NT,
Chocolate’s Been Around Since 600BC
At least, that’s what one of our favorite bands, ScribbleMonster, tells us in the title song of their CD “Chocolate Milk”. I wonder if there were chocolate Easter eggs way back then? Here’s a video of ScribbleJim performing “Chocolate Milk” in Brooklyn last month. My poor video skills don’t do him justice. (And no, that
Chicks, Ducks and Eggs
We went to the beach in our new town this morning. Chloe insisted that we stop at the storage unit to find her chickie outfit before going to the pancake breakfast. It was absolutely freezing on the beach, so that duckie (or is it a duckie?) outfit kept her warm. Chloe lucked out and found
Itchy New Room
The girls played at their friends’ house yesterday. Since their friends hadn’t seen our new house yet, we took them out to see the house and the city. Before visiting the house, the girls played at the beach for a while. The kids had a great time building dragon lairs and running around. No one
Sleep Like A Baby
Neither of the girls, especially Camille, was a great sleeper as a baby. They are making up for it now. At 9am this morning, they were still sleeping, even with the contractor jackhammering the concrete floor in the basement. When I did get Chloe up, she didn’t like the noise. Camille escaped outside under a
Tattoo Dunce
I’m incompetent at tattooing. I don’t mean real tattoos with needles. I mean the removable tattoos that the kids get as “prizes” and “gimmes”. The tattoos are better than candy and junkies, but I don’t know how to apply them. I forget to take off the plastic so the tattoo sticks to the cover. I
Break A Few Eggs
Have you met Uncle Rock? We here in the GBK House love his CD “Plays Well With Others” and play music it from it regularly on our radio station Gooney Bird Kids. In the past couple of days, we’ve heard the track “Break a Few Eggs” on both Spare the Rock and the new Hilltown
YAB (Yet Another Blog)
I’ve had too many people tell me that they can’t figure out which blog is my “real” blog. There are a few issues:1. I like to start blogs more than I like to maintain them.2. Each blog host has a different set of features that I like. I wish one blog company would have them
can’t go too long without …
a Ralph fix. He played here in Atlanta this weekend, so it was an easy one to get! The show was great, the venue was very nice and we had a wonderful time. Thanks Ralph — Come back soon!
Tricycle
We really like both France England’s and Lunch Money’s songs entitled “Tricycle”. Chloe belts out these two tunes as she pedals along…
we’re back
We had a great time at PlayaCar and Chichen Itza. The unexpected day in Fort Lauderdale was not so fantastic.
Care of Magical Creatures
Chloe loves unicorns and dragons ….
Frozen Food Coming Soon
We have been without a working fridge for over two months now. It is cold enough to keep food in a cooler outside. But when Sears called to say that the compressor will be backordered yet another month, well … They have given us a “credit” of $2600 to use towards the fridge of our

Okay, I have tons to learn, but here goes my first attempt:
house party time
It was another big party! Lots of food, lots of music, lots of fun.
New Year’s Lights
Light at midnight and light in morning. Each beautiful in its own way.
Georgia DOT
As we pulled off the road near Fort Mountain to unearth a DVD geocache, we saw the fabulous view. Fabulous, except for this sign right in the middle of the lookout. It appears that the word “illegal” must have been spelled wrong, then the wrong font was used in correcting the error. Moreover, the sign
geocaching
Our geocache filled with junkies. I would have expected that we would have to replenish the junkies, not thin them out. For Christmas, we bought travel bugs for the geocache, but are still trying to decide what their missions should be. Going to children’s music concerts? Going to all the states that start with A?
