Fourteen Weeks (The Soundtrack of My Life)

Do events in your life ever inspire a song in your heart? You know, like when you watch your college roommate head out the door with a guy who is so obviously not for her and you spend the rest of the day singing, “I’m Just a Girl Who Can’t Say No”?
Yeah. The past couple [...]

You’re Welcome

Every once in awhile, I run across something that just cracks me up and I have to share.  A comment on my post yesterday did just that. I introduce you to:
Really Bad Parenting Advice
It is a tongue-in-cheek look at some of the weird things parents do. Totally up my alley, and my sense of humor. [...]

The Exhausing Personality of Boys

The night before last, it started to snow. It snowed enough that by yesterday morning, all of the schools in our area were closed. It snowed enough that (gasp!) Sean came home from work two hours early.
Yesterday evening, the snow changed to freezing rain. It didn’t change back until early this morning. Throughout the morning, [...]

The Beauty of Bribery

Before Christmas, I wondered whether or not a Wii would be a worthwhile present for kids as young as mine. Can I just say, the first time we plugged it in after the accident (it was in the car with us) and it fired right up, there was much rejoicing (from kids and parents both). [...]

Someday Computers Will Rule the World

This year, for Christmas, Sean got me a Tom Tom. During the drive to Florida and back, we became complete converts to the technology. Not only could the Tom Tom tell us how to get where we were going, but with the press of a button it would show us hotels when we needed them [...]

Cookie Contemplations (Random Insight Into My Personality)

Last night, I decided to make chocolate chip cookies (the natives rejoiced). I used to bake cookies on a regular basis. Due to a combination of lack of time and acknowledgement that, as the only adult home all day, I was consuming the majority of them, I just don’t make them very often anymore. But, [...]

Twelve (and a Half) Weeks

I suppose that I need to break my silent streak. It hasn’t been a conscious decision to not write. Part of it has had to do with how tired I am by the end of the day (a common pregnancy thing for me), and part of it–I think–has had to do with some lack of [...]

Moving on with Life

First, off: Thank you all. While I am spending very little time on the computer right now (sleep is kind of a big thing for me lately), I have taken the time to read through all of the comments not only on my blog, but also on the posts my sister and my mother put [...]

Shaken, Not Stirred

I know that a lot of you read my mom’s and sister’s blogs, so you already know what my family went through yesterday. I also see a noticeably large number of hits yesterday and today, considering the fact that I haven’t written anything in days, so I’m assuming that you are waiting to hear from [...]
