I got laid off last week. My husband has been like a rock, very supportive. It's been kind of awesome, like a vacation, except with no money and I have to try to get interviews. I have enough money to coast for a couple months so I am not worried, yet. Hope to find something soon ( Read more... )

I just had to fix a strange error on a user's phone. She is running Good Mobile Messaging which we all know hijacks the contacts application. Normally she would start Pocket Outlook to get her contacts but somehow she hosed it so there was no way to get to her non-GMM contacts. They were still there but the shortcut to it had vanished ( Read more... )

My goal in yoga this year is to get my damn heels down in downward dog. I was really close yesterday. I am not flexible at all. I am good at strength and endurance and bad at flexibility. I am getting closer and it's funny how it's not just flexibility but breathing and pushing with my arms. Not just hamstrings. Yoga is cool for that, it is ( Read more... )

There's also another boy there a little older than ( Read more... )

I squatted my body weight on Saturday, 185 pounds. Only once, and I was nervous. I went down and then up again. Then I back off to 165. It's a cool feeling, an accomplishment. "I can do THIS." Fritz did some squats too, with the bar at first, after we stopped him from doing some stupid exercise he saw in Men's Health. The Old Man bought the ( Read more... )

Soooooooo I put in an application yesterday for a rescue Labrador Retreiver. It cost $5 which I was happy to pay. I don't have any specific dog in mind and I'm not all set on a Lab either. Padre was a pit bull boxer mix supposedly, and I really like pit bulls so whatever comes my way. I also sent an email to the Bernese Mountain Dog people but ( Read more... )

I like to hold the baby up so he can watch the trash truck come down the street. I think it is exciting for him with the lights and the beepings. I have "Trash Trucks!" and "I stink!" to read to him. Today he was more interested in trailing his fingers through the condensation on the door than watching the truck. But as the truck rolled back up ( Read more... )
