Yes, it’s been nearly a week. But I cannot go on as if the best thing to happen to our country in my lifetime didn’t just happen last week. Because it did. I’ve been too choked up with emotion to pay any attention to my blog, so today’s my first day back. And I just [...]

where’s my motivation? an update from Lisa
I’m here. I’m just tired. And queasy. And unable to do much of anything. I *think* I’m starting to feel a bit better, and I’ve just entered my 11th week of pregnancy, so here’s hoping that the 2nd trimester will be much easier.
In random updates:
J and I went to a bed and breakfast in Indiana [...]

yet another reason why I love this man…
This story, originally published on Leisha’s Random Thoughts & Ponderings on October 4th, left me with tears streaming down my face. At work. Read on!
his is a story from the Norwegian newspaper VG, the biggest newspaper in the country, from today’s edition. Not that these things matter in today’s dog-eat-dog world, but I found it [...]

From Russia with Love
The last few days the boyfriend has taken to sending me emails in foreign languages which require me to use BabelFish translation. The latest made me laugh out loud:

испытание. Я [...]

if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em
Okay. Just a few days ago I posted what I imagined a block party on MY street would look like. All the components of my imaginary story were taken from real life events that have indeed occurred on my block. The annual Fall Fest at the Catholic church and school across the street did, in [...]

Grrr.
Grrr. This is (was) my Obama sign. What’s wrong with people? I had this in my yard for a grand total of 3 days before someone destroyed it. I can’t decide if they were trying to steal it for their own use or if they are mean spirited McCain supporters. Or punk kids. In any [...]

playing tag
I’ve had a lot going on the past few days, including my sister’s move to Texas which I’ll post about sometime soon. I’ve been an emotional wreck and am in all ways exhausted, so today is a perfect day to play Eloise’s game of tag. I find these fun to read and even more fun [...]

need a good chuckle?
These are hilarious. Weight Watcher Recipe Cards, circa 1974. I first blogged about them on myspace back in February 2006, but they’re worth a second look. The best part of this site is the author’s descriptions of the dishes. I’m sitting here laughing out loud all over again. Scroll down to the bottom of the [...]

perfect underwear
Okay, first let me start by saying that in a perfect world I would not shop at and support the commercial giant that is Wal-Mart. I would buy all my food at the local food co-op and purchase organic clothing, etc. But the reality is … I’m broke. So, when I bought a new bra [...]
