« Previous EntriesAn Old Scam Rears Its Ugly Head Again
Wednesday, January 31st, 2007I feel intruded upon. I feel like my time is wasted. Yet, there are people out there who have fallen for this scam, so I will take the time to put it out there, just in case…
I received two emails today. Here is the first (don’t spend too much time on it - just skim [...]
He’s the “Fix-It Man”
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007My husband used to call me “My Dream Come True.” After almost six years of marriage, he now has another name for me…
99.9%
My husband thinks that I am 99.9% better than all the other women out there in the world! This is incredible to me, because while we have had some good times, it’s been [...]
Reclaiming Ourselves - Women Who Run With The Wolves
Monday, January 29th, 2007Before the new year one evening as I was doing some laundry, I noticed a book my husband had in his library that I’ve seen many times over the years but have never been compelled to pick up. This night, though, the book called out to me. I wrote a post about [...]
Does Race Matter?
Saturday, January 27th, 2007While I have become increasingly politically aware and informed as I’ve matured through my 30s and now 40s, I don’t tend to write about politics. Quite frankly, those discussions make me a little uncomfortable because of their incredible complexity and charge. Necessarily, though, the socio-political issue of race which seems to have taken over the [...]
Five Favorites For Friday
Friday, January 26th, 2007One of my goals for 2007 is to begin a few blogging traditions. The first tradition is to begin a weekly “Five Favorites For Friday” post. Each Friday, I will list and provide a description of my five favorite posts for that week. They may or may not have a specific focus - the only [...]
AirTran Kicks Family Off Of Plane!!!
Wednesday, January 24th, 2007I vaguely remember what is was like before I gave birth to my daughter almost 3 years ago. One thing I distinctly remember is how I responded when I heard screaming babies and misbehaving toddlers in grocery stores, malls, restaurants, movies… Some of my thoughts included:
“Why can’t she control her kids?”
“Doesn’t she realize she’s the [...]
My Little - Ooops! - “Big” Girl
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007I think I’ve done pretty well not going overboard with worry when my 2 year, 8 month old daughter is not feeling well. Since she started daycare when she was 7 months old, she’s gotten colds, though their onset occurs less frequently. I now feel a bit more comfortable properly medicating her without calling the nurse’s line at the [...]
I’m Doing “Tackle It Tuesday!”
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007
I remember hearing a debate before Christmas over what type of tree was better - real or artificial. We have an artificial tree for very practical reasons (probably the main one being that I can kill plants that no one can kill - ask my husband!). However, part of that tree is still up! (My [...]
Where Is Barney? Improv By My Daughter…
Monday, January 22nd, 2007I have so much fun with my daughter (she’s 2 years and 8 months old as of Jan. 20th). While driving to school in the morning with her, I listen to the Steve Harvey Morning Show (it is the most hilarious show I have ever heard in my life!). This morning, as I was listening [...]
To NFL or Blog?
Sunday, January 21st, 2007I am a huge football fan (I know my husband was s-o-o-o glad to hear about that when we met almost seven years ago). Right now, I’m working on my blog, trying to make the most efficient use of the limited, scarce hours I have remaining this evening. I’m working on my blog at the expense of…
