the wisdom of a simple sign

On December 20, 2011 · 2 Comments · In crazy

In my classroom teaching experience, we called these signs or warnings a “positive dissuader” … I just call this sign genius.

not having FaceTime…

On November 30, 2011 · 18 Comments · In crazy

I wanted to take a picture of Miss L in her new coat… but she wasn’t having any of it this morning. So I flipped the phone’s camera around to “FaceTime” style and suddenly she was excited. I started videotaping it, but she was a little confused as to why it was just her [...]

I can’t buy socks in sets of 3

On September 8, 2011 · 12 Comments · In crazy

If you have a little girl, you may have noticed a disturbing trend in the sock department. Instead of selling pairs of socks… some stores now sell them in sets of 3.

And none of them are the same sock.

 

I don’t quite know how one is supposed to [...]

the tall perspective

On August 15, 2011 · 17 Comments · In crazy

Most of the time, I really loose track of the fact that I’m “tall.” Well, that is until I try on clothes at a store or get asked by someone to help them get something off the shelf at a store. But I realized this weekend that I rarely see myself as tall in pictures [...]

how do you take your conference calls?

On August 3, 2011 · 5 Comments · In crazy

Do you need coffee? Water? Something to hydrate yourself?

Do you mute and only unmute when absolutely necessary?

Do you take notes or do you rely on the “notetaker” to send you what you need?

Do you do yoga poses while alone in your office? Or do you exchange notes with others when you’re all [...]

breakfast for dinner is always silly

On June 5, 2011 · 3 Comments · In crazy

Last night, I suggested that we have breakfast for dinner. Eggs, pancakes or waffles… you know the drill.

Well, when I asked Mr. M how many he wanted he gave me a shocking number. “30. 30 mini pancakes.”

“Are you sure?”

“yes. 30 mini pancakes”

So, I whipped up pancake batter, found my tablespoon measuring [...]

Mr. M’s doppelgänger: Sam Flynn

On May 5, 2011 · 8 Comments · In crazy

I heard the rumors from friends, as they went to the theaters to see Tron: Legacy.

And even when Mr. M saw the movie himself, he confirmed it to me.

I was still a doubter, until I watched it on blueray last week.

Mr. M has a doppelgänger in Sam [...]

who’s the crazy girl that signed up to run 13.1 miles?

On April 21, 2011 · 16 Comments · In crazy

Hi. My name is Kim, and I’m a horrible runner. Wait, let me clarify that statement. I’m not any sort of runner. But because I have moments of euphoria and enjoy random goal-setting activities, I signed up to do the following:

 

 

The inaugural Tinker Bell 1/2 Marathon at Disneyland in 2012!

Twenty six pounds of clothes

On November 16, 2010 · 4 Comments · In baby, crazy

Please excuse my mess of clothes. Oh wait, these aren’t my messes… these are baby clothes! 26 pounds of baby clothes, if you really want to count!

Now how/why did I possibly amass so many clothes? Well… let’s blame  Jade. She ever-so-graciously took pity on my bargain hunting soul and invited me [...]

This is my friend Manan. We were classmates at UCLA and both received our MPPs from the School of Public Affairs a few years back. In other words, we whispered in class to each other [...]

so about that tv set-up…

I said I’d explain the TV set-up earlier this week… so here it is! Yes, that’s right. Three TVs on a wall. The center TV for your main action, and the two on each side for whatever else you’d like your brain to overload on.

For Saturdays and [...]

I happen to remember far too well the feeling of returning to “work/school” after a 3-day adventure in Vegas. You’d arrive and start the party that night… stay up until 4am… wake up at 7am to stake out your pool spot… sleep in [...]
