Lost
Today we went to the Island to visit my mom. *sighs* Some visits feel more like an episode of Lost and today was one of them. My mom looked pretty drained and wasn't very coherent most of the visit. I think it still a bit overhelming when her past (me and my family) and her new life (boyfriend) criss cross. When I tried to discuss that my ( Read more... ) -
Summertime Fun
The transition into summer break this past week has gone a lot smoother than past years. My kids really like school and when it comes to end for summer, emotions tend to run high. This year I distracted them by assigning them a different area in their rooms to deep clean each day. We were able to get purge lots of toys that they no longer played ( Read more... ) -
What? You didn't weed my garden?
Too bad real life isn't like Farmtown or Farmville. How come when I come home from work, no one has been working in my vegtable garden? -
December Daily Album
This year I decided to once again follow Ali Edward's lead and work on a December Daily Album. Although I still haven't gotten around to finishing up last year's album, I'm still going to play along.

This week I also started taking Shimelle Laine's online class, Blogging for Scrapbookers. I fell behind after day two, but I hope to get caught up tomorrow. They're small steps I know ( Read more... ) -
Why am I the last one to know these things?
1. Apparently my Canadian friends have been holding out on me. Why didn't anyone tell me that I've been missing out on Uppercase, which is being tauted as a magazine for the creative and curious? Talk about eye candy for your muse! The past four years I've worked really hard to get my magazine purchases under control. Until now, I had even ( Read more... ) -
So, I Was Wrong
Tonight, I was prepared to hate Stargate Universe and spend my evening picking it apart. I blamed the new show geared for a younger audience for the forced retirement of Stargate Atlantis. Although I still grieve for my precious SGA, I'm mature enough to admit that I was wrong in judging SGU so harshly. The first episode was fabulous! I really ( Read more... ) -
Sensored Mom
Hehe, my favorite commercial right now is Ikea's tale of a divorced mom. Too bad it was banned. If the commercial were about a divorced dad, I'm sure it would have stayed on the air.
