Everyone has their own troubles. And I believe that we shouldn't compare because while it may seem that another person's troubles are lesser or greater than our own that really has no bearing on how we each experience them or deal with them. I've never understood the point of platitudes like "A lot of people have it worse than you" And that's ( Read more... )

So this morning I noticed that my facebook was covered with ads for lupus treatments. I chuckled a bit about that and joked to my husband that "Dr. Facebook seems to think that I have lupus" Then I thought about it a bit and started to get creeped out because while I do not have lupus I am on a medication whose main uses are to treat lupus or to ( Read more... )

It was a rough day yesterday. Our daughter first decided (yet again) that she wanted to learn to speak.

This journal is quickly just becoming a Sherlock Holmes fan-page and I am quite ok with that. My husband is taking care of blogging our real life right now and doing a far better job of it than I would so I'll let him have at it ( Read more... )

I adored this, and can't wait to rewatch it, every minute of it was totally delicious. I cracked up at John's "Who knows about Sherlock but I'M NOT GAY, if anyone cares!" Hee, sorry John, no one cares. It was such a funny little shout out to the fans and fanfic writers. Yes, yes, we all know John loves the womens but I don't think even a bald ( Read more... )
