The Christmas aftermath at Cheezleton Manor includes about seven or eight dozen extra cookies, a leg and assorted other fleshy parts leftover from a 10-pound turkey, some fine cheese that forgot to make its way out of the refrigerator, 100 or so washed, dried, but not yet put away dinnerware, and about a bazillion unwrapped gifts strewn about every part of the house. It was a very lovely holiday, indeed.

And yet, yesterday at 3:05 FREAKIN' A.M. Sophie woke up, padded down the hall to my room and delivered at my bedside the news bulletin that she TOLD Santa that she wanted a Barbie for Christmas...but she didn't get one. Oops. Pretty sure my response wouldn't win any parenting awards, but it did rather efficiently get the kid back to her bed.

Hope y'all had the merriest and brightest of holidays!

Cheezwerks: Proudly Disappointing Perverts Since 1999

Dear internets,

I was considerably surprised and bemused to notice a recent dramatic jump in visitors to this site, especially given the lack of posting activity 'round these parts. Turns out that - somehow - cheezwerks.com is now the #8 result for google.com searches on "amanda's butt." That really means a lot to me, y'all.

Love,

Me

No time to post much these days. In the meantime, please to be enjoying this short video of Sophie stylizing "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree".

New Paint!
Originally uploaded by Manda.
Some cosmetic changes are afoot at Cheezleton Manor this fall/winter. A little bit of exterior painting to spruce things up, plus some repainting inside. The biggest change was in the kitchen, eating area and family room, which went from a deep (and DARK) tomato red (as shown here)to a much cheerier yellow. Apparently yellow is an intellectually stimulating color. With so much of the color about the place, we'll all be geniuses in no time.
