Let your hands be hands and the wings be wings

Gustopher Robin at rest

Detail: fur

Lately, Blogger has been challenging me to get extra creative and try seven times before it'll let me upload a photo. I've worried for years that this Google-owned free blogging platform will just vanish one day. According to my official profile, I've had this blorg for over 15 years, which is A LOT OF YEARS.

Above, puppy boy napping. Don't ever let me forget how beautiful his fur is.

Insensible losses

Insensible loss must be the most beautiful medical term ever. The smoke your breath becomes when it's bitterly cold? That's an insensible loss. Peeing? That's a sensible loss.


I have a pile of library books to dive into. I've walked the dogs, extra walked the little one in the woods, watered the plants, and cleaned the litter box. I started my day with homemade butter coffee (butter is basically ice cream, you know), homemade granola, yogurt, and sweet, ripe strawberries.


Here's my latest Google Street View idea: 

Kid, immortalized

I don't know — something about people who are caught unawares by the Googlemobile or whatever it's called. Maybe involving thread.*




*this is basically how my creative ideas go.

keep searching, searchers

...and you will find those pretty indian girls and those naked mamas you're looking for. also, these things, whatever they might be:

nasty guinea pigs

cuter than a hedgehog

bruddy blog

what does goofus mean?

gentleman's pennies in the mouth of an indian lady

(and, as always) daniel pepice

what mean?

searches that brought people to my bloggity blog recently:

*what mean to be mama?

*when i grow up shovel snow

*what share to google buzz mean?

*momma is maen (sic)

so, nothing too funny, except that now i have a vivid image of an adorable four year-old child typing with one finger, searching for answers to these questions and dreaming of growing up and being big enough to shovel snow.

googling the day away

some searches that brought people to my humble blog this month:

"mean mama not allowed"

"broken hearted man"

"googling the day away"

"daniel pepice hear me roar" (ahem.)

"is kambucha (sic) good for your stomache (sic)?" (answer = yes. yes, it is.)

"mean mama cooking game"

"photograph of a mean mama"

"postman scott"

"what does pourquoi suis-je si fou mean?"

"what is mean by the mama?"

"what is mean by boo?"

and my very favorite:

"what the hell is rabbit rabbit?"

googling the day away

i wanted to share some of the searches that brought people to my blog this month:

"david meiklejohn birthday" (answer to this query = may 20th, by the way, anonymous birthday elf)

"topless hair cut in north carolina"

"what to wear at a david sedaris reading"

"topless mamas" (never gonna happen, leastwise not on this blog, fella)

then there are many, many people interested in the russian commuter dogs, milo in maine shirts, various movies i've mentioned here, and the cutest little girl in france. apparently, daniel pepice has stopped googling himself/being stalked, is the big news! or has he?

new year's obsessions

not mine. there are a bunch of people out there googling some weird stuff these days. here are some new searches which landed them briefly on my blog (aside from the never-ending quests for a pet chicken and daniel pepice, that is):

*mamas naked
*older naked ladies (should i take offense at this one?!)
*happy naked ladies
*stunning naked ladies
*naked ladies in public (hey, there seems to be a theme here...)
*big mean mama
*do it yourself squirrel costume
*gaping hole

i also like "what is baby alive's brother's name?" and then there are many, many people out there lamenting the loss of granny's burritos, searching in vain, asking, "why? why?!" my heart goes out to them.
