Sideblog:WordPress 2.5
2008-04-06 13:06:45
**EDIT**See that lovely typo down there? I know, fabulous, isn’t it? To clarify, I AM using WordPress 2.5. I freaking love it. I am just a dork who needs to proofread. Due to the hand holding and rescuing of Marilyn when I blew up my blog, I am not using WordPress 2.5 and I [...]

Two Peas In a Pod
2008-04-08 12:09:17
I haven’t known Loralee very long. Well, technically, I don’t know her at all. I have never groped her inappropriately nor have I ever had the chance to say something stupid and wish the ground would open up and swallow me immediately. But in the bloggy world, we’re tight. Two peas in a pod. She’s my [...]

This is great. I’m so excited about writing on another person’s blog. I can write and say things here that I can’t on my own blog. Oh, hi. My name is Neil. You see, my problem is that I’m a man in large pool of female personal bloggers. If I want [...]


A Reading Rainbow
2008-04-11 08:39:37
Holla! I’m Metalia. When I’m not hanging out with my husband and toddler son, I fill my days working in Manhattan, making borderline compulsive lip gloss purchases and contemplating just why there is no such thing as Hobo Stab Insurance. (They are drawn to me like moths to a flame, people.) The wonders of the [...]

An outsiders guide to Utah.
2008-04-13 10:47:11
As a former Utahn transplanted to the Midwest, I’d like to take a moment to warn you non-Utahns about this pretty little state I used to call home and the one Loralee currently resides in. (By the way, my name is Casey, I call a little blog moosh in indy. my home, hi, how are you?) First [...]

Deep thoughts (NOT by Jack Handy)
2008-04-15 16:29:12
Some observations during this last week away: I have the coolest guest posters in the world. I loved that I could be a sounding board to write about things that couldn’t be spoken of on their own blogs. For the record, I feel that I must say that my love for Air Supply is CLEARLY stated [...]

The things my father says…
2008-04-16 11:29:59
“Dad, can you move aside for a minute? I have to get to the side of the fridge to get my broom.” “Why? Do you have to use it to go somewhere?” Ha. Ha. Ha. I suppose with my personality I genetically had to come from somewhere, right? Mystery solved.

The weight of a decision
2008-04-18 01:00:55
We all have moments from high school that we remember with perfect clarity. Moments that are still so close to you that you remember everything about it-the smell, the outfit you were wearing, and the feelings that corsed through your hormone-addled body. Hopefully, some of those moments were times of triumph or joy, [...]

Sideblog: My beautiful mommy
2008-04-19 01:41:02
I totally cop to surgically “Reclaiming my bosoms”, but I my jaw dropped open at this new children’s book that explains mommy’s new nose or flat tummy or new breasts to tiny tots. Does it make me a complete hypocrite that seeing this makes me feel skeeved out and sad?  I am not against plastic surgery [...]

Sideblog: Prepare to suck it up and deal
2008-04-20 13:06:45
If you announce to the whole internet world that your girly bits now resemble Telly Savalas, you must be prepared to endure the nickname “Kojack” from that point on. Sigh…


Peep of the Week
2008-04-20 12:00:57
Time for “Peep of the Week”, that special time when I spotlight a commenter that stands out during the week. Craig has actually won this before, but I can’t help it. He’s so freaking funny. Look at the comment he made about the new children’s book out that explains Mommy’s new plastic surgery to kids: “Just buy your [...]


I’m just big-boned! Really!!
2008-04-21 01:00:52
Since he is not quite 9, my youngest son, Christopher, is still young enough to want to be tickled, loved, cuddled, and tucked in at night. Giving both of my boys “Tucky-innies” every single night at bedtime is one of the few things I am consistent about as a mom and I do come [...]


You know what? Reunion.com CAN FREAKING BITE ME!
2008-04-22 20:52:37
Roughly 700 people received an email saying that I was “Searching” for them from reunion.com. I was fiddling with the site today to upload a “Then” and “Now” photo, mainly to assure the world that I no longer had orange, double-processed hair and massive amounts of fatty layers embedded on my face. I mean, [...]

Sideblog: How to get kids to eat asparagus
2008-04-25 01:01:29
How do you get two wary boys to eat asparagus ? Tell them it turns their pee green and smelly. Hey, I’m not proud of it, but it totally worked.


I DID warn them…
2008-04-24 14:38:45
*No children were harmed in the creation of this blog post.


I’m not dead, I’m just in Minnestota.
2008-05-01 11:52:16
I sort of announced it, but not really. I thought I would have more time to write, but that hasn’t been the case. I came here to help my brother. He is moving back to Salt Lake and needed some help closing up his house while his wife and kids were in Mexico sorting [...]


“Oh, yah! You betcha!” OR “Longest post ever”(Oh, stop your bitching and just read the damn thing. It’s not like I’ve been overwhelming you with blog posts lately, you big whiner.)
2008-05-05 23:06:08
Few things are worse then hearing your name paged over the airport speaker system informing, “Salt Lake City passenger, ‘Loralee Choat-ay’, please come immediately to gate E15. Your flight is holding and is ready for departure.”, when you SWEAR that you have 35 minutes until your flight leaves. That is, there is nothing worse unless you [...]

Sideblog: How to taste cheese and all about tapas bars
2008-05-06 12:43:16
If I had read this fabulous article on how to taste cheese, before going to a very pricey Tapas bar in downtown Minneapolis, my brother probably wouldn’t have shelled out $50 smackers for us to eat Spanish cheese that tasted EXACTLY like the giraffe cage at the zoo. (To be more accurate, it would be a [...]


At what point do you pick up the phone to report bad behavior to the parents of a child?
2008-05-07 11:04:28
I know that parents cannot oversee everything that their child ren do. I also know that their are things that adults enjoy that are big no-no’s in the kid department and despite precaution, kids WILL NOSE AROUND and find those things. I have some guilty moments in this area. Years ago, at a hideously early hour of [...]

I have gotten emails and comments wondering how the situation with Christopher and “Randy” turned out and wanted to give a small update. I talked with Christopher and he is ok with us talking to “Randy’s” parents. We have called twice and left messages, but have not had a return phone call. We are [...]
