My body went on strike

My body went on strike Friday morning, but we all managed to make it through the weekend. On the way back from taking Kevin to the airport today, I stopped and got some specialty medicine, so management is hoping that the body will be back on the job soon. It will have to work overtime, […]

Test Drive Monday

Since AOL was nice enough to give us the day off today (well, I hope they did, because I’m not at the office), I decided to go test drive cars! Here’s what I drove and my impressions of each (in chronological order): 2002 Volvo S60: I loved it, roomy, comfortable, gorgeous ride and a great […]

Hey

Long-ass life update

Brian has completely left babyhood and has entered toddlerville. He’s the big T-W-O now! He has tantrums, gets into all sorts of trouble, and tries to do please-let-me-have-my-way, puppy dog eyes. When it doesn’t work, he laughs sheepishly. So adorable. He watches Blues Clues, loves bubbles and drawing. He loves his blankets, but isn’t really […]

Seriously, the music, the acting, the car, the emo-ness, the pretty boys, the lightness of it, oh, and THE MUSIC! What’s not to love?\ Did anybody out […]

Bad Mommy #36,189

Lesson #1: Don’t ignore the baby.\ The baby monitor in the kitchen isn’t usually on anymore because of some newly acquired static. The static is probably caused by one of our neighbors having recently setup their own baby monitor (the pain of living close to lots of people). So this morning when I woke up […]

Special delivery!

I ordered Chinese food for dinner tonight and when I opened the door to collect it, there was a bouquet of flowers waiting for me. They were sent by my husband’s work thanking me for lending him to them during all of those late nights and weekends.\ So thanks, husband’s work, for the flowers! It […]
