Site Fixes & Links

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Much thanks to Becky who pointed out to me yesterday that my site wasn’t listing dates on the entries any more. A quick fix, but I hadn’t noticed despite looking at the thing several times a day some times.
Also the link for the artist that was being talked about yesterday is Broken Angel
I [...]

Daily Grind

Saturday, July 26th, 2008

I’m having a hard time waking up this morning, although the “task” of making chocolate truffles is helping out with that. We’re having a joint birthday celebration today, my friend’s birthday was last Sunday and mine is next Wednesday so we’re having a party for both of us.
It works only one set of cake, my [...]

Four Foods on Friday

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Before I go to therapy I wanted to make sure and post my entry for the Four Foods on Friday meme, because otherwise I’ll get out of the habit like I did last time and I want to keep up with these things because it’s so neat to read everyone’s responses.
#1. When you need to [...]

Health and Beauty

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Several people have been surprised when they learn that I don’t use much in the way of beauty products. It’s getting where I don’t even use shampoo so much any more, and I don’t spend the money on special Proactiv acne cream, or foundation other make-ups, skin facials and all the rest of it. The [...]

How I Got Over Barney and Super WHY

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

When we first moved to this house I figured I would let my son have a few times a day watching “PBS” we had basic cable, and I thought that it would help me find some pointers to ways to teach him more vocabulary. I was thinking that it would be “Sesame Street” or perhaps [...]

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

Speaking of Joss Whedon as we were the other day: Dollhouse I thought I would point out something else Whedon-y, which has been a favorite of my husband’s recently.
He was reminding me that I should watch it because soon they’re going to be taking down the most recent episodes to free up bandwidth, hopefully for [...]

Where is Matt?

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

A friend on PunkyMoms shared this video with the forum today, and I had to post it over here, because it’s just so awesome.

I would say I defy you to watch it and not cry, but I’m sure there are some people out there who are not as sappy as me. I just think it [...]

Music CDs and Memory

Friday, July 18th, 2008

My husband’s decided he’s going to take his vast CD collection and convert it to the computer and keep it either on flash memory or a USB flash drive. In the past few months we’ve lost a lot of CDs to the munchkin and the tile floor, and also to a soda spill that seeped [...]

Four Foods on Friday

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Look I remembered again! I’m hoping to become, once again, a regular participant in the Four Foods on Friday meme.
This weeks questions and answers are:
#1. Fruits and veggies. Do you prefer them peeled or not?
That really depends what it is. Not going to eat a banana or an orange unpeeled, but I usually don’t peel [...]

Therapy Today

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

I’m a bit nervous about therapy today because I have a feeling we’re going to be unearthing some more deeply buried things. It’s complicated…and I think it might also be more nerve-wracking because my therapist was away last week so it’s the first time I’ve seen her in two weeks.
I was upset additionally this week [...]
