I’m rarely at a loss for words. I can - and regularly do - talk your ear off. It may not be anything terribly deep or life-changing, but I can chat with the best of them. I consider my blog a place to chat with ‘teh intarwebs’ and find some common ground with other people.
And […]

I told my group at work that I was leaving. We’ve had the same core of people for quite a while now, and they’re like a bit of family to me. We’ve shared so many things. They’ve been with me when I got married, graduated college, and had a baby. We’ve had parties, eaten a […]

I got sucked into “Farmer Wants a Wife” on the CW network tonight. My interest was mostly in the fact that the guy is from Missouri (so am I, in case you didn’t know) and I wanted to see how he — and small town life — is portrayed.
I know it can be done. I […]

The kid and I spent most of the afternoon under the a/c. It was a tremendous help.
I’m trying hard to relax about all the things going on - work and money. But I’m still stressing about what we’re going to do. We’re trying to work things out. The kid still needs his shots and we […]

As the heat waves approach again, we decided to take drastic measures.
We went to Costco and bought a portable air conditioner. Because our windows slide horizontally, not vertically, a traditional window unit wouldn’t work. Fortunately, this one will. Unfortunately, we had to sit it on a corner of my desk, which is in front of […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about being a mom. Things at work have had me reconsidering my role as a wife, mother, and employee. But that’s really another post for later. It’s the mother thing I want to talk about.
You see, I’ve been a “second” mom for ten years. My stepdaughter already has a mom, […]

Oh, now we have even more AWESOME news. But I am taking a page from Heather’s “Be Ye Not So Stupid” maxim and won’t say much except the latest developments? Are EVEN BETTER than before. Um, yeah.
So since I can’t talk about that right now because, “Hi people from work!” I’ll come back later because […]

Have you seen that commercial for the cell phone with Meatloaf?
Hubby & I were watching TV the other night when it came on. I turned to him and asked, “When did Meatloaf get old?”
His response: “About the same time we did.”
Ouch.

Before the Wee One, my best friend used to tell me how much being a mom changes you. I only half believed her because I was already a mom. Sort of. That’s not to say step-moms are not moms. They are. It’s just different.
But then I had my own kid and my heart opened even […]

I’m trying to get out of the house every day, or at least every other day. That probably doesn’t sound that hard to most people. But right now I work from home. And with an almost-5-month-old (!) to care for, it’s not easy for me to leave. Not without great effort.
Laugh at me if […]
