What if Mommy and Daddy Outsourced Customer Service?

Have you ever wondered what the voice messaging system would say if kids had to call a toll-free number to access service from their parents? I’ve taken a stab at it – read about it on my new site to see if you agree.

Hypochondria or paranoia?

Is it time to run out and buy respirator face masks for the whole family? Check out my helpful interpretation of the CDC’s decision chart, posted now over at my new blog site.

Oh no – it’s time for the book fair!

Come on over to http://soupisnotafingerfood.typepad.com and read my latest post, wherein I attempt to reconcile the preschool’s “Book Fair” as a marketing ploy to seduce young children into begging their parents to part with their hard-earned cash, with my own love of books, especially new ones.

A cold and a rainy day

It’s a cold rainy day Chez Soup. But hey, what else is new? This is the prevailing weather pattern this week. And here’s what we’re doing about it.

Repurposing

Over at my new digs, I wrote today about how we have, like, no new furniture in our house.  Almost everything we use now was either given to us for free or purchased second-hand. Am I just cheap, or green, or maybe more sentimental than anything? Perhaps some combination thereof? You be the judge.

New Digs

Y’all. I’ve been feeling lately that I’m getting a bit, um, stale when it comes to this blog. I don’t know if it’s because I’m not finding good material to write about, or if I’m bored with the layout. WordPress-hosted blogs are a bit limiting – sure, it’s free, but all the cool kids have fun blog bling, like nifty badges, audio widgets and flexible layouts, that I can’t use here.

Switching to the WordPress software and hosting it elsewhere seemed too complicated for me.  But I think I’ve come upon a solution: Typepad.

I’ve started a blog over there, and here’s my first entry. I’m still messing around with formatting, just trying it on for size, tinkering here and there. I don’t plan on migrating everything that’s here over there, but eventually, if I end up liking it, I’ll map my main URL to that blog.  Till then, and beyond, this blog stays, and I’ll post links here for a few weeks of the posts I put up over there.

I would very much appreciate your feedback – hop over to the new site and tell me what you think. Is it readable? Easily navigated?  Entirely offensive? Keep it real, I can take it. But I won’t know unless you tell me.

I truly appreciate everyone who comes to read my random musings, more than you know. I want to make sure it’s still engaging to you, but if it isn’t engaging to me, that’s kind of a showstopper. You know what they say – if mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.
