Class Dismissed

Do not underestimate the power of a correctly spelled word or the proper use of punctuation.
I’m not saying that you need to start addressing me as “Professor”, because I’m sure a few things slip by me every now and again. But nothing detracts from an attempted statement like a simple spelling error. Even worse is [...]

Round 2

Remember my resolve to take one child each month and spend an evening with them doing something of their choice? If not then you should read here or even here (did I forget to post about Emma’s date? Hmmm.).
The other night was the end of round 2 of me taking all of the kiddies out [...]

Whew!

What a relief! GLAD® came up with a new plastic bag that clicks so you can make sure it’s closed. Because the whole red-and-blue-makes green closure just wasn’t cutting it. Millions of innocent people have suffered an unmeasurable amount of anxiety due to not knowing if their sandwich bag was really, REALLY closed.
Health care reforms? [...]

No More 9 to 5

It’s not a quality about myself that I absolutely love. I wish that I were a little more “flexible”, but alas, I have a hard time with change. Let me clarify: I’m not really afraid of it, but I don’t always embrace it like I could or possible should. Part of it, I believe, is [...]

Me, 1. Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield, 0.

If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you might remember the medical issues that my daughter faced last summer (I wrote about it here, here, here, and here). She survived and all is well. But, as you can read about here, even though her medical problems resolved, my fight with the insurance company had [...]

July And Stuff

This past month has been kind of a whirlwind of activities and I have NOT been very good at keeping up with posting about them. Since I’ve been so good at blogging in “list” form, here goes another one:

We’ve had more water fun and BBQ get togethers with friends. FUN STUFF!
One of my good friends [...]

And THAT’S What I’ve Been Doing

It’s been a busy month and I am ashamed, horrified, and embarrassed that I’ve been non-existent slow to post and upload pictures that proves it. OK, so in all honesty I don’t really care that I’ve been such a slacker. The only reason I feel like I should post about the act ivies of June [...]

Whore!

An filthy whore has hurt my family.
OK, technically just one “person” in my family. But when you hurt one you hurt us all, right?
My precious, sweet, loving, delightful cat Pheobe was bitten by a devilish black widow last week. At least that was the diagnosis of the vet (no, he didn’t use “whore” or “devilish” [...]
