The eToys catalog came yesterday and reminiscent of the sears catalog joys of my youth, there was a special exuberance in our house. I remember so fondly pouring over every page of the newest Sears catalog, circling everything that I wanted, dogearing the pages to make sure my mom wouldn’t miss my favorites when Christmas [...]
We just got home from a BBQ. This afternoon, after a full morning of working on the deck, I realized we were supposed to bring our own meat to BBQ and a side dish. Eeek! I hadn’t thought about it until just then and had no food in the house. But then I remembered the [...]
When I learned of McCain’s VP choice, all I could do was repeat “The governor of Alaska?” over and over again. Who the hell is that? What is he thinking? I have hashed this over and over today. My take? Of course he wants a woman to say ‘see, we can be historical too’ and [...]
I took on the responsibilities and consequences of adulthood very early. I thought for a while that this made me grown up. But in reality am I still just a whiny spoiled child? They talk about the entitlement issues with today’s youth and I see all the problems this causes and try very hard with [...]
Well, I have left my book club. There are many reasons for this, none of which I will get into here. Although I am sad to lose the monthly just for Karin activity, I have started going to yoga once a week and am hoping to increase this to twice a week in another month [...]
One of my many TV weeknesses is Making the Band. I have been following Aubrey and Andrea since their first season and am still enthralled by the day to days of this group of girls. The boys, I could take or leave, other than I am digging on the old school R&B sound. Tonight Puff [...]
I love math, I have always love math. I love it’s gracefulness and purity. I also love how it brings whole new realities into possibility. To look at the world in entirely new ways just gets me off. A mathmetician in France, who works in four dimentional objects, has created a set of videos to [...]
UPDATE: I know, I know, I’m late. Family in town. Building a deck. Barack Obama has chosen Joe Biden as his running mate. If you just absolutely must be the first one to know who the Obama VP is going to be (like I do), then you must visit the Barack Obama website and sign [...]
In general, I have been sleeping much better lately, but now and again I just can’t seem to shut my mind off and it just whirls around and around flitting from this to that or sometimes spinning down into oblivion. I have found several ways of alleviating this that sometimes work and sometimes don’t. I [...]
Well, I have had another very emotional day. It’s amazing what small things can bring me to my knees these days. Just yesterday, I was feeling so good. I was feeling strong, I was sleeping well (well better anyway), I was having fun with the kids, I felt in control and like progress was being [...]
