Our Day Out 2008-08-15 22:31:56 Wow, I did not realise how long it has been since I have really gotten out. With it being summer there are always things to do in the yard. Of course there are also the other things that I really wanted to get accomplished over the summer. Then you add in the work I want to get accomplished on all of the sites. This means that I pretty much do not have time to just waste.Today was different. It wa
I.O.U.S.A. 2008-08-15 07:23:25 You may all remember me talking about the film A Long Way Down. This is another one night only opportunity. I.O.U.S.A. is a documentary that will only play on Thursday, August 21st. It is from the studio that brought us Super Size Me. They already got us thinking and talking about the health of our nation. How could they top that? Now they are talking about the state or our economy and the nation
Sharkrunners Game 2008-08-15 06:18:49 It seems like lately every time I go to one of our computers one of the girls runs over to beg me to not turn off their game. After a few days of this I decided to actually check what game they have been playing. They have been playing Sharkrunners on the Discovery Channel website. At first I did not pay much attention to it. I just left it minimized. Then I would check on it once in awhile becaus
Car Accidents 2008-08-15 06:17:35 I was just checking out a website that helps people get back the diminished value of your car if you get in an accident and it is not your fault. It made me realize once again how lucky I was when the girl hit my Jeep. I was parked in a parking lot with a stick shift car in front of me. The vehicles were facing each other head on. The girl was not paying attention when she started her car and it w Read more:Accidents
Directory of Certified Experts 2008-08-14 22:36:19 As parents we tend to have way too many things that need to get done. We also have way too little time to get it all done. How many time do we need things done around the house? How many times do we need to find someone that really knows what they are doing in their particular area? The next problem is where do we find them.If we just look in the phone book we still face the same problem. How do w Read more:Directory

September Top Droppers 2008-10-02 15:49:02 I was a bit surprised this month by some of my top droppers.

Update on James 2008-10-01 21:56:07 James is finally back home. He is very tired and sore. He has a severely strained neck and cervical muscles. I would have thought a cervical muscle would be quite a ways in the other direction. I guess that is why I am not a doctor. They wanted to give him some kind of brace but he would not wear it.Remarkably the Land Rover was able to drive all the way back home. The coolant leak was just a hose Read more:Update

Hot Wing Salad 2008-09-25 23:46:50 I have been eating what seems like nonstop chicken. I think I have gotten stuck in a rut. I normally love chicken because you can make so many things with it. There are so many different spices and sauces that you can use too. I do have to be careful though because a lot of sauces have sugar in them.When I started the no carb diet it was easy because I love chicken. Now I find myself inventing all Read more:Salad
XFlowsion 2008-09-25 23:13:04 You all know I am trying to get healthier right? I have changed the way I eat and now I think I need to really look at changing the way I live. I used to work out a lot. I was almost obsessed actually. This was when the girls were all little though and I had much more time. I would do 30 minutes of steps before the girls would wake up. Then I would run on the treadmill for 30 minutes at nap time

Once again I think about a conversation I unknowingly walked into.Years ago during an election year I was working at a sports bar. I walked up to a couple that was at a table having a heated discussion. They made the mistake of bringing me into the discussion. You s Read more:Educate

I Love the Entrebar 2008-09-07 00:49:08 I have not talked about Entrecard lately and I have gotten a good deal of traffic from them lately. This means that I really should talk about it again. I truly believe that they can be a Godsend to blogs that are having trouble getting regular readers. As far as traffic building goes you really do get out of it as much as you put in. It is also a very nice community.The addition of the Entrebar h
iLasik and The Military 2008-09-06 23:46:06 I have thought many times about having lasik surgery done. I am so sick of wearing contacts. I hate dealing with taking them out and soaking them. I also hate having to deal with glasses when I have my contacts out. Then you have to worry about getting something in your contact or it falling out. It becomes a big hassle. That may be a worry for me but it could become a very dangerous situation for Read more:Military

Back To School Sales 2008-09-04 11:29:56 Okay, school came entirely too fast this year. I feel like summer just started and now it is over.

Kids always seems to out grown all of their clothes during the summer too.Right when I thought all of the spending was over Noelle brought home a p Read more:School

Pistachio Torte 2008-08-31 13:33:38 This recipe always reminds me of my mom. This is one of the things that she would bring to gatherings. Everyone always loved it and it is a cool and refreshing dessert on hot days. After making it the first time I realized why she only made it for gatherings. I think I would eat the whole thing if there was no one else to share it with. The picture is of a smaller one but the recipe is for a 9x13 Read more:Torte
