Out of the Loop
Posted by: carrielouise on: September 28, 2007
Apparently not everyone has heard of Etsy.com.
Since I finished the drawing for the winner of the Fall Drawing Giveaway a couple days ago, I decided it was time to part, and send it off. It was a bit painful, as is everytime I send off one of my babies. I get a little attached to [...]
I Do Feel A Little Bad About It
Posted by: carrielouise on: September 27, 2007
I feel a little badly about those of you who I scared the crap out of yesterday with this post. It was never my intention to give you nightmares.
Or to force you to swat at your legs in paranoia all day.
Or to break out the poisonous gases in an attempt to rid your own house [...]
A Good Memory

Someone’s gonna have to get me one of these to drive, ’cause I just upgraded the memory in my laptop.
By myself.
With no screaming or pulling out of the hair.
Now, to be fair, I’ll tell you that my dad showed me a few weeks ago where it would go, once I got it. And can I [...]

One of the Saddest Things Ever
Posted by: carrielouise on: September 23, 2007
This is The Cuteness’ laundry basket. I have one basket per gremlin for their clean clothes. It’s helped cut down on laundry room disorganization. A little. The floor is now covered with 4 of these white baskets, a rectangular yellow basket and a round blue one, respectively.
It’s a maze of epic laundry proportions.
And they sit [...]
Station Break: Yeah, I’m a Change-Aholic
Posted by: carrielouise on: September 22, 2007
Just so you’re not freaked out, yes, you are at Gremlin Central. In case you’re new around here, let me clue you in:
My name is Carrie, and I’m a change-aholic. Not that most people care about templates and so forth, but apparently some people have psychotic breaks when they visit a blog and expect [...]
And the Portrait Goes To…

Comment #20–Sharon from http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/momn4boys/! I’ll email you soon with your instructions. Hang tight!
Man! You guys warmed my heart with your excitement over my drawings. I had to fight off the temptation to tell everyone to forget the rules and why don’t I just draw one for everyone who took the time to enter. But alas, [...]

This is the last day to enter the giveaway! For all you blokes hem-hawing around on entering, there’s still time! But not much. Sometime around midnight central time, I’m taking your comment numbers over to the random picker and the powers that be will choose [...]

Posted by: carrielouise on: September 20, 2007
I shouldn’t be telling you this because I want to win it. But 5 Minutes For Mom is having a little giveaway. That’s if you can handle one of these bad boys:
It’s only because I love you that I’m telling you. They’ll pick a winner October 1st. So hurry!
And scroll on down [...]
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun?
Posted by: carrielouise on: September 20, 2007
I don’t really know who other young girls in the eighties held high on the Music Pedestal. In fact, most of the music I listened to came straight from my little square lilac colored boom box. So I, to this day, am dreadfully ignorant of the names of all those rad vocalists who graced [...]
What Makes Me Cry
Posted by: carrielouise on: September 19, 2007
Me and crying don’t get along. It’s not that I’m insensitive, I’m just uncomfortable with displays of emotion that I have no control over. Actually, I feel things so deeply that I’m afraid once I start I won’t be able to stop.
We’ve sponsored two children through World Vision for as long as I can remember. [...]

A Conversation With My Mother In Law
Posted by: carrielouise on: September 18, 2007
My mother in law lives in South Texas and she’s a peach. She sends us packages full of goodies like beef jerkey and paper plates and batteries. Man, do I need the batteries. She’s a little off center, so of course she fits right in around here when she comes to visit.
But talking to her [...]
When They Grow Up
Posted by: carrielouise on: September 16, 2007
When the gremlins make their transition into Adult Gremlinhood, they have made a few things very clear to me and My Man. They just aren’t happy with the state of several areas of their lives these days and never fail to lodge their complaints to whoever will listen.
When they grow up:
they all plan on [...]
If You Really Must Know
Posted by: carrielouise on: September 15, 2007
Sarah tagged me. But I’m going to break the rules and resist the urge to tag-on. I know that may come as a shock to you all, since I am such a fine upstanding citizen and all. The meme is to list 3 things you enjoy doing other than blogging. Is there anything left? [...]
Because I’m More Generous In The Fall
Posted by: carrielouise on: September 13, 2007
***TIME’S UP!! Go here to see the winner!****
Hands down, fall is my favorite time of the year. I can breathe in the crisp morning air and feel like a new woman. I can listen to bickering with nary a twitch. I cook dinner with a smile on my face, or at least in my heart. [...]
A Request From My Man

My man found this very short clip of this contortionist on YouTube. So naturally he thought of me, since I do this for guests and family all the time.
In fact this is me, in a disguise. My Man just thought it was high time I let you in on one of [...]
Wordless Wednesday: What a Tangled Web…

A tangle we had to cut out of my daughter’s hair.

My only girl’s got some mad domestic skills. And I don’t necessarily mean the neat and tidy kind. I’m talking about creative thinking and all that.
She’s been bugging me for a very long time to come and visit her at her house. The one she built outside. Listen, I don’t really do heat and last [...]
