For the longest time I’ve made it a habit to avoid certain things, especially the celebrity gossip magazines and shows, but since I’ve been going to therapy regularly I’ve been catching bits of gossip via the magazines that they have in the waiting area, and also I tend to find that I catch TMZ in [...]

I’ve been seeing the CommentLuv plugin on several of my friend’s blogs for a while now, but finally got around to installing it on my own. So, from now on when you comment on a post, provided you’re not an evil spammer type person you’ll get two linky-love for the price of one, as the [...]

I think it’s safe to say the munchkin had a good birthday. He’s flaked out willingly and gone to bed. He wound up not having a nap. He got a lot of nice gifts, and we all ate a lot of good food, and he got to play with our friend’s children. We had a [...]

I just found this out about the economic stimulus checks and thought I would share. They’re going out based on your social security number, and varying in time depending on the last two digits of your social. Looks like we’ll be getting ours in June.

Today is the munchkin’s second birthday, it’s still a long strange trip. This time two years ago I’d just been given the wonderful epidural and professed my love for the anesthetist.

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve participated in Four Foods on Friday, but this week I’m on the ball, given I’m resting after a busy day of working in the yard and fixing my laptop. So, here are my answers to the questions. Be sure to check back at Val’s blog for her round-up [...]

I do! OMG–to get there, though. We were just getting to 441 and I realized I didn’t have my wallet which has my green card in and we had to turn around and get back, meaning we were going to be at least 20 minutes late to the ceremony, they said we had to be [...]

It’s dangerous for me to go into home improvement stores. I see so many things I want to buy and get, but it’s just not feasible. I have to remind myself that the house doesn’t need all these things right now we can get them gradually. Sure it would be nice to have patio furniture [...]

At least in our house it is. Today’s the day I become a U.S. citizen! The ceremony is in the city, and my Mum’s coming along with my husband and the munchkin. This is good for many reasons, not least of which we can go in her car which is a lot roomier for four [...]
