Do You Twitter? 2008-07-26 22:34:04 I know I am a little late to the game, but I just signed up for a twitter account. I am fairly certain I need no more internet addictions. Nonetheless, if you twitter, come find me so we can twitter together (I am fairly certain I can use twitter as verb, right?). Now, back [...] Read more:Twitter
Happy Birthday Ah-Ah 2008-07-25 20:53:59 My kids have the best uncle ever. Well, they think so. And I have to agree. Don’t be fooled by the fact he is their only uncle. That is just a technicality.
And as a brother he isn’t so bad either. Except the time he completely forgot my birthday. But I suppose I had that [...] Read more:Birthday

Frugal Friday- Grow Your Own Veggies…or make a sad attempt at it 2008-07-24 22:29:09 I have, what is known in gardening circles, as a black thumb. My yard is a bit on the sad side. And the two houseplants I have left are dying a slow death (hopefully they will reunite with all the friends that have gone before them up in heaven). I have never however, killed a cactus [...] Read more:attempt

Things I Love Thursday- Preserve Toothbrushes 2008-07-23 22:06:31 So if you have been with me long, you know that from time to time, I come across something that requires minimal effort from me, but allows me to “be green.” Cause I am not going to lie, I am a lazy environmentalist. Actually, I may just be a lazy person, but a really [...] Read more:Love Thursday

Works For Me Wednesday- Sassy Cookies 2008-07-22 22:47:37 I typically do not do WFMW which include a) recipes, b) product reviews or c) advice to cook with your children. This is because I would rather gouge my eyes out than bake with my children. Does that make me a bad mom? My mom loves to bake with my children, which works out [...] Read more:Cookies

When Cleaning Goes Wrong 2008-07-21 21:38:33 Since starting Flylady a while back, I have pretty much just started deleting all email from her (ENOUGH WITH THE TESTIMONIALS!!) and fallen back to my lackadaisical cleaning ways (triple word score, thank goodness for spell check). The one thing I have tried to retain however, is to do some routine cleaning on every [...] Read more:Cleaning

When the twos become terrible 2008-07-20 21:37:16 Today I was remembering fondly back to when Lily was two. The hubby and I kept looking at each other and saying, “The twos aren’t so terrible, I don’t know what everyone is talking about.” Now, we got a bit of stuff in the threes, don’t get me wrong, but the twos were actually quite [...]
Random Acts of Kindness 2008-07-18 21:57:21 First of all, let me just say I really wished I could volunteer more. Or do something that felt like it was contributing to the greater good. Now I know one could argue, and frankly should argue, that dedicating my life to raising my children to be caring and productive members of society is [...] Read more:Kindness

Frugal Friday- Free Samples 2008-07-17 21:06:49 Am I the only one who gets jazzed about getting things for free in the mail?

Things I Love Thursday- Huggies Washclothes 2008-07-16 22:07:37 First let me start with something I don’t like. Construction. We suffer through some really crappy weather here all winter long which I realize take a major toll on the roads. But what is up with miles and miles (and miles) of cones and lane closures with no trucks or workers to be seen? [...] Read more:Huggies

A Brief Rant Up On My Soapbox 2008-08-11 22:59:01 Two very unrelated rants I need to get off my chest. And then you can resume your Olympic extravaganza.

Anti-American? Anti-Human Race? 2008-08-10 22:29:29 I have a confession to make. I am not really into the Olympics. I didn’t watch the opening ceremonies. I don’t really pay much attention. I know who Micheal Phelps is. I know who Mary Lou Retton is. I know water polo and fencing are Olympic sports. Oh, and curling in the winter Olympics. [...] Read more:American

Trumpin’ It- Part Deux 2008-08-04 21:36:41 So when I last left you I was gazing at myself in the mirror while watching Access Hollywood. The hubby and I decided to take a swim. Actually I wanted to sit in the hot tub to soothe my weary feet from all that shopping. Cause I wore these really cute sandals with zero [...]
Trumpin’ It- Part 1 2008-08-03 21:37:25 First off, let me be clear. I am not the type to jet off to the Trump for a typical weekend away. It just so happens that part of my husband’s job required him to check out some hotels in Chicago to host clients at. One of them was the Trump and they really encouraged [...]

The Nose Knows 2008-08-01 21:52:06 Wow, that is a honkin’ schnozz. I know you are all dying for details about the Trump (well maybe 2 of you are), but I am beat and thinking it is going to be a long post. So I am saving it for a 2 part mini-series on Monday and Tuesday. I know, the [...]
