I come from a long line of New York Mets fans. I snapped this photo of one of our mortal enemies…the Atlanta Braves fan.

So Blizzard Entertainment launched Diablo 3 last night, and as of the time of this post, there is a complaint thread of 300+ pages concerning the servers being down. My husband pointed out the best whiner in the whole thread…
I wonder how many baby geeks are being conceived today. (Repin this image.)

I got a big kick out of this Tweet Cloud I generated…
I feel like I’m doing something right if my top 20 words tweeted include LOVE, PLEASE, THANKS, FRIENDS, and HAPPY. It also made me smile to see CHOCOLATE, POTATOES, and LUNCH.
What’s in your Tweet Cloud?

It’s official: I am on the autism spectrum. Today, my psychiatrist added Asperger Syndrome (colloquially known as Asperger’s Syndrome) to my chart and on my insurance form. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while, but the realization that TJ is getting older and may have questions soon finally spurred me into action. When we finally have that talk with him about his own Asperger’s diagnosis, I want to be able to tell him that it’s okay. Mommy has it, too.
What are Asperger’s Symptoms?

When Simply Potatoes reached out to me about sharing some Simply-fied recipes with my readers, I was happy to oblige. My husband and I discovered Simply Potatoes sometime last year when I found them on a really good sale at Price Chopper, and they’ve been a helpful shortcut at many dinners in our house since then.
The first time I saw Simply Potatoes in the supermarket, I scoffed at the price for their raw cut potatoes. After all, it’s much cheaper to buy a sack of potatoes and cut them up yourself. (I’m still of this opinion, but I can see the appeal – a-peel? – for families with much busier schedules than ours.) But then I discovered that they make mashed potatoes, O’Brien potatoes, and other side dish items that we really enjoy. I don’t buy them every week, but Simply Potatoes are no stranger to my refrigerator.

I’ve written about my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) many times, and in many places. (ChristinaGleason.com | Suite 101 | Type-A Parent) I was doing pretty well for a few months, but I’ve recently fallen into a flareup cycle again – and insomnia has been nearly as bad as it was before I started taking medication (trazadone) to help me sleep. No matter what time I go to bed, I haven’t been able to fall asleep before 2:30 or 3:00 for weeks, if not months, and it’s been weighing heavily on my body and my ability to think. (And with a creative job that involves writing, that is a big problem.)

So the Clever Girls Collective asks who’s interested in doing a sponsored post for COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, and I’m all like, “Yes please!” It was always a staple in my mom’s fridge when I was growing up, and I’m still a fan. The concept was easy enough: making everyday desserts. I decided to put my own spin on my mom’s chocolate pie, which I won’t eat without COOL WHIP on top. But my mom makes her own pie crust. I’m…not very good with pie crust. But I do like graham cracker crust, and they sell those in the grocery store! You just can’t screw up a pie made with a store-bought crust and filled with chocolate pudding.
COOL WHIP Chocolate Pudding Pie Recipe
You will need the following ingredients:
- 1 store-bought graham cracker pie crust
- 1 box of cook and serve chocolate pudding
- milk (amount according to instructions on chocolate pudding box)
- 1 small tub of COOL WHIP whipped topping (I use COOL WHIP Lite)
