Libertarian Mom

by Birdie on September 3, 2010

Time for a little confession. I am a registered Republican and I voted for Obama but wanted Barr to win. How is that for irony? I realized that Barr didn’t have a chance in hell though and just couldn’t stand the thought of Sarah Palin leading the nation. Don’t worry, I’m not going to trash Palin. Really? She’s way to obvious and easy to make her my target (unless she runs for president then it’s ON). I’m not even going to blast the Tea Party (for now) because I’m tired of them getting so much freaking attention when they aren’t even a nationally cohesive party with a real platform. (well maybe an itsybitsybitty blast). I’m going to talk about the Libertarian party. I think it is what most of the rational members of the Tea Party movement really want and what the Republicans should have been touting all along. So why do I like the Libertarian part?

Macaroni and Cheese from The Pioneer Woman Cooks

by Birdie on September 2, 2010

It turns out that my first attempt at a recipe from The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl was a great success! I have never ever ever made macaroni and cheese from scratch before and both my husband and I were raised with the boxed kind. He was extremely skeptical but agreed to the experiment with a promise of a burger from his favorite diner if it failed. I was a little more hopeful, but worried about my ability to carry it off. I know, I know…get on with it already! [click to continue…]

Welcome Wednesday!

September 1, 2010

Oh no! You have just arrived from the Welcome Wednesday blog hop and I don’t know what to say! The pressure! It’s so much easier writing when I don’t think anyone other than my imaginary friends are reading my nonsense. I have just become active again in the big bad world of blogging and I [...]

High School is the Real World

August 29, 2010

You know how people tell you that high school isn’t like the real world? That all of the cliques will mysteriously vanish and everyone will be on a level playing field and we’ll all just get along like magic? Yeah, that is such a bunch of bull. I didn’t fit in when I was in [...]

Pioneer Woman Obsession

August 28, 2010

It’s possible that I might be a little obsessed with the Pioneer Woman. Not in a creepy way, well not too creepy, but in a she inspires me to be a better mother and wife kind of way. Have you seen the movie Julie and Julia? It’s like that, except I don’t blog regularly or [...]

Mommy’s Politics

August 27, 2010

My first blog was a political one. I started it around the time of the last presidential election and then got bored. I’ve decided that I need to get back in the political conversation because I’ve heard so many stupid things in that field lately. Therefore, I will now be doing a political rant every [...]

Anxiety Attack

August 26, 2010

Have I ever mentioned before that I really hate crowds? Well not exactly that. I like crowds if I’m one of the anonymous millions but crowds of people…classrooms, playgroups, whatever? Yeah I hate it. I would never voluntarily go to a party, or an art class, or anything like that because of how nervous I [...]
