3. I have a business website to help (re)design
4. I have a new Word Press site to design

Updates of other sorts 2008-03-12 16:07:08 Another post full of bullet points…but it’s crazy in my head right now…
* For those that hadn’t noticed, our store Newrose Naturals disappeared a couple of weeks ago. It was sudden and shocking…but no more so than it’s sudden reappearance. *lol* Not going into long explanations, but the store is back. If you were in [...]
Update from the Cavity of Sinus (take 2) 2008-03-11 17:08:12 In lieu of Terminology Tuesday, I leave you with this update on my hubby and his sinus issues.
E had his CT scan on Monday.
Doctor’s office called today with the results. The cysts are there as they were two (three?) years ago. They HAVE grown as I’d suspected…AND there is crud backed up in there with [...] Read more:Update

It’s B**by day!!! 2008-03-11 11:17:56 Lotus over at Sarcastic Mom is having a (Breast)feeding Carnival, and I felt pulled to participate because I’ve been on both sides of the ever-lasting breast vs. bottle debate. I’ve done all three ways…breast only, breast & bottle, and bottle only. I’ve been forced from the breast far too early (with many regrets), and I’ve [...]
Seriously, HOW old am I? 2008-03-14 23:50:56 Because I feel like I’m back in middle school getting ready to sit at the COOL KIDS lunch table!!
OMG, I’m nervous and excited and terrified and feeling terribly shy and unworthy. Why? Because tonight I dine with 9 fantabulous women of the blogosphere. Women I’ve admired, women I’m just now coming to know, women who [...] Read more:Seriously
Holy crap on a cracker!!! 2008-03-14 13:35:48 Gas prices in my little town jumped SEVENTY CENTS today!! Seriously?
I guess tons of complaints made at least one station drop their prices. Local news coverage came out to cover the story:
Gas prices jump to over $4
From $3.35 to $4.09!!! WTF?!?!?! Yeah, I’m pissy…I just spent $50 filling my [...]
FTT Friday 2008-03-14 11:13:07 Has it really been two weeks? I apologize….Between the Blog 365 break and my computer crash, FTT Friday
was the worst casualty! But, for today I’d like to go over a procedure I mentioned in the Terminology Tuesday I recently covered recently on Celiac.

After the blood work is completed, and the [...]
Terminology Tuesday 2008-03-17 23:15:00 Lots to do today, expect multiple posts (that’s why I’m making this one at midnight).

Endocrinologist

And endocrinologist specializes in glandular diseases. They are trained to diagnose and treat hormone imbalances, such as:
* Thyroid Diseases

Why I’m scared **tless 2008-03-17 11:46:23 I know, I know…you’re all expecting reports about my dinner with eight wonderful witty women of the blogging world…but it’s going to have to wait. I also was granted a wonderful blingy award today…but that’s also going to have to wait. I didn’t post about it yesterday because it was weekly winners, and I almost didn’t [...]

Thursday Thirteen #7 2008-03-20 09:18:46 Thirteen Reasons we needed to do our bathroom (In Pictures)
1. Previous owners “decorated”. Note, they ran out of paint, so the side facing the toilet looks different…
2. Our wall was literally crumbling
3. Previous owners “decorated”. Love the “hollywood lights”.
4. There was drainage probles ($1200 worth a month after we moved in), that had apparently been [...] Read more:Thursday

In summary… 2008-03-19 21:14:05 This is my day (the past two for sure) summed up in 3 minutes. You really only need to watch the first 30 seconds…heck, 10 seconds to get the picture. But the real good stuff kicks in about about 25 seconds…stick it out
Oh…put in ear plugs.

So…they’re LUSHES too!! 2008-03-18 20:47:18 A couple of weeks ago I posted about those dirty Backyardigans and their suggestive lyrics during and episode (The Volcano Sisters). I thought that might be the extent of my foray into such dark places.
But now I’ve come to realize that they also need a 12-step program. The ‘kids’ are lushes!!
Yesterday I plugged in the [...]
Apparently I was overreacting… 2008-03-18 08:23:00 (Yes, yes, I know, you still want a recount of my crazy debauchery from Saturday night with the Indy Chickies…but, well, again it’s going to have to wait because I think you’re also wanting an update on the divine miss M)

the banister. And the banister won. Eventually, maybe…she will learn…then again, I hope she never does. I hope she always pushes her own limitations…even if it breaks my heart…Full story:
Wednesday Miss K and Miss M were playing with their babysitter playing with each other being sweet to each other [...]
FTT Friday 2008-03-21 14:38:28 It’s that time again! This weeks will be short and sweet, as it ties into Terminology Tuesday.

Many children with FTT end up seeing one or more specialists. Last week we discussed the endoscopy procedure that is often run if celiac or some upper GI issues are suspected.
Another specialist that children are aften referred to is [...] Read more:Friday
Birth Story #2 2008-03-24 14:42:56 Time for Miss M’s birth story! This one I’m cheating…copying and pasting from my original post way back when I my old mommies forum…no paragraphs! Wow, I was on a high *G*
And for backstory, I’d had a relatively easy pregnancy with M…but she stopped growing in any significant amounts around 34 weeks…

Well, after my disappointing [...]
Birthstory #1 2008-03-24 10:15:28 Lotus is hosting a birthstory carnival. I, unfortunately for you, have THREE to tell. I had considered squishing them all into one post, but considering my tendency to have diarrea of the mouth be verbose tell the full story…I thought I’d grace you with one every 12 hours instead.
So as to not show any unfair [...]

TV Shows I’ve been obsessed with…because I have a tendency to go whole hog when I get into a TV show. I have to see every episode, watch repeats…you name it. So, here [...] Read more:Thursday
As if my moment on the scale wasn’t bad enough… 2008-03-25 23:10:53 I had my annual exam today. For a very brief recap - everything is fine. Thanks to having no parts and always normap PAP’s, etc…I don’t have to go back for two years. But it wasn’t ALL a good visit.
First I had to get on that bloody scale and see that my weight was only [...]
Taking a 24 hour break. 2008-03-25 07:59:50 To avoid an exceptionally negative post at this time, I’m not posting Terminology Tuesday, or anything besides this little note, today. I will make my usual tour and leave my usual comments…but not another word from me today. I will be removing my birth stories and/or condensing them into one (and that’s as snarky as I [...] Read more:Taking

On May 18 I, and several friends, will be walking to help raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Why do I support this cause? Well, for one, because of this:
But also because the CFF is making progress every year toward finding effective medicines to slow the progress, [...]
Humiliation abounds this week. 2008-03-27 21:49:07 So, not only am I fat and my 2 year old daughter is disgusted by me…but apparently I’m really OLD too…
Last night I ran some errands. I’m baking another cake, and needed a new pan (aww, that upsets me SO much :P). So I go to JoAnn’s first (wheeee…me LOVE JoAnns), and go around…then decide [...]
Seriously?? REALLY?? (and a rant) 2008-03-31 14:21:14 Well, I feel darned special now. I got my first troll-like comment. It’s not especially derogatory (I was called “sick”); but it was unsigned and a fake email was used to post it…so I would guess that makes it troll-like. What did I receive this wonderful comment FOR? Well…do you all remember my comments about [...] Read more:Seriously
