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 [...]

Okay, so I *still* haven’t got my keyboard to fix the laptop. More than a little annoying, especially as the other day I saw in the bank account that they’d taken out the money. I’ve never gotten a confirmation email though, or a thank you for your order or anything like that. Starting to get [...]

The munchkin has been fully in the terrible twos as I’ve said several times over the past few days. It’s been rough. There’s been a lot of whinging and whining on both his and my parts, and some frustration and a whole lot of time outs and tears.

I was going a but nuts last night because the motion sensor lights that we have on the front of our house kept going off and I would look outside and there would be nothing there.
After a the fifth time this happened I heard the tell-tale skitter and jingle of Nimue barreling into the trees [...]

Two days in a row now before lunch I’ve decided that I wanted to go back to bed and start the day over.
Yesterday the munchkin threw BBQ sauce all over the place trying to put some on his bread, and destroyed the bathroom, and then stripped his diaper off and spread poop around.
Then this morning [...]

I downloaded a clearance game to my cell phone last night because I was excited that every time you get to a certain score they donate money to Breast Cancer research. Check out Bliss Donations to Breast Cancer.
The game itself is really addictive, and each time you get to a landmark score something like 1000, [...]

It’s funny the new things you can discover online. I was shown a link to Audemars Piguet offshore and I clicked on it expecting to be looking at some exotic travel destination and it turns out that it’s a company that makes watches!
It’s just like all the people who call my business figuring that I [...]

It’s so easy in today’s society to get impatient. We’re so conditioned into thinking that there should be “instant fixes” for everything that we don’t want to wait. It’s so tempting to figure that you can pop some weight loss pills instead of actually rectifying problems with your diet and way of life. Why should [...]

Anyone with a cat can relate very well to this song and video that were made by Corey “Mr. Safety” Williams.
This is one of those youtube gems that always makes me smile. I had to subscribe to smpfilms after watching this. I love some of the other Mean Kitty episodes, particularly the one where he [...]

One of the problems we’re experiencing in our house is lack of storage space, or more accurately storage space of the wrong type. There are many things that we need to store but can’t use certain cupboards and cabinets for because of the almost-two-year-old tornado (the munchkin). For example, we have some liquor and it [...]
