About Babies

I just noticed the other day that my dear friend Delores has written a blog post! How exciting after almost seven months of silence… almost as long as her pregnancy… hmmm… I know I don’t have any room to talk with my long bouts of silence myself so I’ll move on…

Delores writes about her [...]

What’s the biggest factor for you in deciding where to live?

I know I haven’t posted in quite some time… partly because I’ve just been plain TOO BUSY to sit down and write… but I’ve come to realize that I honestly need this place to just vent sometimes… But that’s not really what this post is about… It’s more of a “let’s get back into the [...]

Blogging Tip #538

I totally do not understand people who blog and then have their comments locked down so tight that you have to log into three different accounts just to leave a comment.
I totally wanted to leave a comment on this woman’s blog even if it was to just let her know I had been there.
I totally [...]

American Wife: A Novel

I recently finished reading American Wife: A Novel by Curtis Sittenfeld which was recommended to me by my coworker, Sarah. The book itself is a fictionalized characterization loosely based on Laura Bush. To pretend otherwise is just ludicrous as many of the obstacles that Alice, the main character, face mirror those that have happened in [...]

I Can’t Make This Shit Up

Just a little background first… We are in the midst of a pandemic going by the name of the H1N1 virus. If you haven’t heard about it yet, you’re an idiot. Anywho, Delaware schools are now offering the H1N1 nasal spray (live vaccine) free to all students. As a parent, it was kind [...]

One of the best things about blogging is not feeling like a voyeur when you read other blogs. I write mostly for me… kind of like a diary but with a twist… but I don’t usually worry about who is reading my words which is probably why I write things that are honest and sometimes [...]

Goodwill Awkwardness

My bloggy friend, Jenners recently wrote about an awkward moment she had at Goodwill and I promised her I would share a goody from my past dealings with Goodwill. After Ahole left, I started cleaning out all the old stuff in my life. It was my time for a fresh start and I wanted things [...]

Motherly Advice & Snippet

In case you have ever wondered what type of conversations go on in my house… here’s a quick snippet from a recent car drive:
Steven: You’re stupid Beth.
Beth: You’re so stupid that you’ll live with your mom forever. You’ll be in your thirties and still living with mom.
Abby: Like Dad!
Melanie: Yes… like dad… Except Stevie is [...]

Hell-oween

Those of you who know me know that I hate certain months of the year. February is one of them. October happens to be another one. When I was little, I was never really allowed to go trick-or-treating like other kids. Not that I complained because I never understood the whole “gimme candy” thing in [...]
