So… I haven’t been posting in a couple of days, instead I’ve been napping, cleaning the kitchen a little bit, doing some dog training, and kinda goofing off. Well, relaxing goofing off really. Which I need more of, and I don’t get enough of, and so I’m going to get some!
And did you know [...]
Hello Shauna Glenn fans....don't be shocked by the use of capital letters. This is a guest blog. I'm Monika, Shauna's friend and neighbor. Not nearly as thin or funny, but damn it, people like me. And Shauna needs you. Yes you. Don't look around like that. I'm talking to you. Here's the story:Shauna called me yesterday and sounded like hell...in the course of a 3 minute phone call she grun

There is something about Sundays that always make me sad.
Ever since I was a little girl, the late-afternoon sun at the end of a weekend makes me maudlin. I want to turn back the clock to Saturday morning when 24 hours were laid out in front of me like a banquet.
This Sunday I was like [...]
– To cook up all this zucchini. This is just one day’s worth.
You’ve seen Monster Trucks. How about Monster Zucchinis?
Actually, it’s just one of my seed zucchinis from which I’ll save seeds for next year’s crop.
I’ve shared two of my favorite zucchini recipes here.
This is another family favorite.

N had been asking to have her own e-mail address for a long time. Part of me was just lazy that I did not open an account for her right away, and part of me is just not sure if she's ready for it. That would mean I'd have to monitor all her e-mails.On Monday, she asked her dad to help her set-up her own e-mail account. I already agreed prior so her dad opened a gmail address for her.I did not ge

...to deal with real life.It occurs to me that my blog is probably sucking as of late. It's not that I don't have much to say, it's just by the time I have a moment to sit down and blog I'm just about too darn tired to say it all. I'm sure that never happens to you, my dear readers, right?And I suppose I could be all whiney and negative and pour my problems out here, but I'll refrain. But I wil
Last night, while this writer and his partner were joyously discussing our impending nuptials over a glass of Pinot and a pile of Rigatoni, this notice hit my iPhone: "What the hell is this?" I asked myself while popping an...
I’m sorry, bloggy break or not, I can’t NOT talk about the NKOTB today. (Excuse the double negative, I’m pretty sure Mrs. Callahan, my 12th grade English teacher isn’t reading….)
I resisted all morning the urge to get on here and blog about them, and I gave in. I can’t help it. And did you know that they added more tour dates… so I don’t have
Yes, sometimes this does happen. You purchase a Pda program for your PDA and get home just to find out the Pda program doesn’t want to install the way it is supposed to onto your PDA.
You have docked it with the desktop computer and still it doesn’t want to install.
Problems while installing [...]
I had this great post planned about my battle with the kitchen last week (if you twitter me, you were able to see it) complete with pictures. I even have a picture-fied version of battle of the cleansers. But then Holly went and posted in her usual cleverness about her battle with the toy closet. [...]
To kvetch about gas prices...Its official. The weekly cost of gasoline for my family exceeded 100$ this week. That makes it the highest weekly expense right behind food. If current trends continue it'll become the absolute highest weekly expense in about three months. In order to combat this ever growing expense I'm going to see if I can't get my schedule changed so that I go to work two hours earlier so my tiny wife and I can carpool. Additionally she is interviewing to teach at a school closer to home and either I'll be interviewing with an ISP nearby or we'll be buying a car that gets 30 MPG to help offset the cost of me commuting (additionally both of our vehicles are 10+ years old so having a new car has additional benefits.) Of course it occurs to me now that this would be the prefe

I’m really stressed. Like REALLY stressed.
I chewed the head off our builder’s realtor and spit it out, then stomped on the remnants just for that added oomph at the closing of our house yesterday. She deserved it, so I don’t feel bad. But I do have that angry taste still in my mouth and it’s clouding my [...]

There’s just nothing TV-related in the news lately.
Because this is how it works, just as the strike stuff exploded, so did my job. As is typical when I’m about to go on two-week vacation, suddenly EVERYONE needs me to do something. And I hate starting my vacation with work on my desk so I’m busting [...]
Ouch. Perpetual is putting GnH on indefinite hold. That’s never good. What this actually means is that the game will likely never be finished. Like Tobold, I was in the beta, and as he says, I’m assuming the NDA is now gone. If it isn’t I guess they’ll have to kick me out of the-oooohhh. Too soon?
Alright, let’s try to be serious for a moment here though. What did I actually think of the game?

First ODI match was called of due to rain in Bangalore with no results but Australia looks promising at Bangalore and looks to threaten the World Twenty20 champions. However, here in Kochi – the venue of the second ODI, there is something more that the teams would have to fight against first before taking on each other to win the match. It is rain which has been playing spoilsport over the past
Hi there!
I see you are eating lunch. I finished mine about forty minutes ago. I like to eat early. Mind if I sit down and chat about work? Great! I’ll take that pause you made while chewing your food as a “yes.”
I tell ya, this project is kicking our tails. What are we going to do? Boy, that soup looks good. What kind is it? Huh, tofu? I didn’t quite understand what you just said.

I haven’t posted in awhile and there is a good reason, although I can’t share it now. Our family is going through something that’s knocked me off my blog a bit. It’s prevented me from posting to my own blog and from reading those blogs I love. I apologize for being neglectful. Blogging is therapeutic for me and I’m guessing everyone will learn far more than they ever wanted to know as soon as I feel it’s fair to begin posting about our icky ordeal. So until I catch up with my life a bit, my posts will be sporadic. Thanks for stopping by—I’ll be back soon…
I have hairy toes.
No, wait. That's not the announcement that I wanted to make.
I'm over at PunditMom's blog today, that's what I wanted to tell you. Yeah.
Also, my interview with Meredith O'Brien (Boston Mommy) of the Boston Herald about the New England Mamas blog is up. You should go read it. Oh, yes you should.
Also, also, the NE Mamas are currently looking for contributors from
Still enjoying the past few days of our vacation, we head off to Pizza Hut to enjoy a nice leisurely lunch on my last day of non-Weight Watchers. Actually I can get away with 18 points at PH so it isn't TOO bad. Then suddenly at a red light we were rear ended. It was a huge jolt that I totally didn't see coming. Matthew started screaming but he was just scared and not hurt. When I finally figured that out, I jumped out of the car to see not one, but two cars. It turned out that a truck, who had to be going at least 35 miles an hour, rammed into a VW Passat Wagon, who was pushed at least 10 feet she said into my car. Nobody was hurt (except my neck, which is killing me!!) and we called the police. The VW definitely got the brunt of it. My Subaru has a heavy duty plastic bumper, but our cars were still stuck together. Turns out he hit her so hard that her car jumped up on my hitch and got stuck, so actually my car made out pretty well. I'm bringing it in tomorrow to assess the damage
My dad is, once again, cancer free!
Since the first time, he was re-scanned in April and the cancer was back in his lymph nodes. He’s been having harsher chemo for several months and it worked! His next re-scan will be in October. I really hope there’s nothing there, but at [...]
First of all I think I miscommunicated something, first off we don't throw ALL fish back. We only keep Walleye, but Pike, white fish, etc... yuck.Secondly all your comments about kissing the fish had me laughing till my sides hurt.This first picture is what I spy as soon as my eyes open up in the morning. Seriously this is what my window faces, how awesome is God and his glorious display of beauty.This second picture was taken as we were heading out to do some fishing Tuesday. We won't discuss how many fish I caught, or if my middle son caught the biggest walleye around (guess what we are having for dinner). Oh no, we won't discuss that... but once again I wanted to show you some of God GLORIOUS beauty.BUT last but NOT LEAST....come on over and visit me at Internet Cafe for 4th of July, it is a day I approach with mixed feelings this year.
My mother and sister talked me into going to the third circle of hell Disneyworld for a week, and I have a feeling my Internet time will be limited to quick email checks in between princesses, Mickey Mouse and Universal Studios.
So I am taking, as it were, a brief hiatus.
But in the meantime, I'm shamlessly asking you to consider voting for me for Best Parenting Blog. Before you get all huffy

Okay, I'm back.

I just got word that something I've written is going to published in a real-live, honest-to-goodness, hold-it-in-your-hands BOOK.
I'm squealing just typing that sentence.
Back over the summer, I submitted one of posts to the Chicken Soup For the Soul people. They were doing an "open call" for submissions to their latest book, Chicken Soup For the New Mom's Soul. I sent them a post I wrote nearly a year ago and (to shorten a long story involving e-mails and edits and signed releases etc. etc. etc.) THEY ACCEPTED IT. I got the official word over the weekend that my piece...with a BY-LINE no less...is really and truly in the book. The tentative release date is April 9 (though it's already available for pre-order here), and OH YES INDEEDY Chilihead has already agreed to be at Border's with me when the doors open that day. I'
A trial court judge's actions in interrupting a litigant's testimony during cross-examination to warn him about possible criminal implications if his testimony revealed tax fraud was improper, the Appellate Division held in All Modes Transport Inc. v. Hecksteden, A-0361-05T5, December 27, 2006. Combined with this warning, the trial court suggested the parties settle the case. After this exchang
TO PROMOTE A FRIEND'S NEW NOVEL Northern Cross - The NovelA happy marriage, a lovely home and a brilliant future as a commercial pilot - George Ashton seems to have it all... including twenty-five years of guilt from a college caper gone murderously wrong. Then his past catches up with him in the sinister form of Brady Keyes, looking for a pilot to fly a very special and highly illegal mission. When Brady reminds George of what really happened that night on Highway 89, it's soon clear his return is not just about catching up on old times. Manipulated and exploited, George piles betrayal upon betrayal in order to reclaim his life, only to discover that to win it all, he must be willing to risk everything.To read a sample chapter and find out more about Northern Cross & Chris Hudson, click here: />Northern Cross
We interrupt this program.
I mean, I interrupt this program to make a statement.

There are only a few people I would follow to the ends of the earth with. Sorry I do love you all, but there are just some places I will not go. When it comes to manly man I go where he goes, when it comes to my kids, I go where they go, and yes when it comes to my hair dresser I go wherever she goes. I am following her to a new salon for the third time since she has begun cutting (and ahem…coloring) my hair.I came to her looking like a Mother of three boys! I looked run over, beat up and just plain "motherlyâ€. She transformed me into something reasonable and with each visit made me look more and more sassy. Now I don't know about you, but when I walk out feeling like a million bucks. I could almost pay her anything for the way she makes me feel; oh and my hair looks great too. I get a lot of compliments. My hair is the one thing in my life I spend money on. Now mind you I am not spending TONS of money, just enough to have a great cut and sassy color.I am just saying there is n
Anna Nicole Smith ... is dead.
We honor her with this video to remind us of Anna just the way we liked her. Skinny, stacked, and batsh*t crazy. Rest in peace, Vickie Lynn Hogan, rest in peace.
In perfectly Useless form, we asked readers to submit questions about their cars. A group of the Useless Men were headed off to the Canadian International Auto Show, and we were prepared to get you video proof of our uselessness as we tore our way through the show.As it turned out, the video camera got flicked on in the camera bag after we did a bit of test driving in the snow, and ended up with about 40 minutes of black screen and muffled chat. While this seemed to work for Paris Hilton's popularity, it did nothing for us. As we shoveled ourselves out of the 75cm snowfall that hit us this week, preparing once again to attend the CIAS, we uncovered these gems in the archive that had never been answered. It's TRUE! Rare treasures, sent in around February 2006 are just being answered now.If you sent in a question recently, be assured, it isn't lost. Let's say "delayedâ€. We are simply interrupting our regularly scheduled postings to bring you the answers to your AUTO SHO
