Blogging v2.0

Recently some friends of mine have started blogging again.   They are fantastic, interesting, creative gals writing about being a mom, or their most awesome style, their dedication to health and fitness, their talented craftiness and their ingenious thriftiness. 

I don't have much talent for crafts, I don't cook, my parenting skills are rather ad hoc, I don't exercise anywhere as much as I should and my eating habits always get me in trouble.  My house is far from organized and by organized I mean "clean".  

But I have a good sense of humour and enough self-righteousness to write the occasional rant.  Because indignant judgemental ill informed anonymous opinions (with a moderated comment board) is what the internet is for!  At least once you're finished looking at cat pics and porn.  And memes. Who doesn't love memes!

So, I guess I'll post about my stupid parenting moments, how I hate people who are mean, all the great stuff I found on Pinterest that I'll try out one day and all the music I like and how much I think Apple sucks and that Gawker has never been the same since they got rid of Blue States Lose.  The hipsters, those damn fucking hipsters...

I'm just going to assume that if you are reading this you know who I am.  Or at least you know me from somewhere.  If you just stumbled upon this blog by accident, then I am sorry...I mean "welcome".

So why "The Mighty Babooshka"?

It's a play on The Mighty Boosh - that's a BBC production.  If you know it you'll know what my sense of humour looks like.

Babooshka - a Russian word for Grandma or old woman.  While I'm not a grandmother, I'm 42 and like to complain about being one of 'Teh Oldz'.  Also, I'm currently growing out my grey hair.  Just because.  And I am descended from Russian Jews, so it's a nod to my heritage.

Also, Kate Bush wrote a song called Babooshka. 

And I do rock a bandanna tied around my head like a babushka when I'm out in the wilderness.

I really can't describe what I'm all about in one post, at least without not boring the reader.  I know I have a low tolerance for wordy blog posts.  GET TO THE POINT ALREADY.

So, my best guess is that this blog will be a way for me to tie together all the different aspects of my life and what I'm dealing with or what I accomplished, thought about accomplishing or just laughed it all off with no intention of ever accomplishing a thing.
