It seems to me that the best “sign” that an able-minded person can receive from God is the simple fact that God saw fit to endow you with a working brain. If you are of rational mind and reasonable intelligence, I don’t think it’s necessary to try and find “signs” that you are doing the [...]
School is almost out. And I’m simultaneously looking forward to and dreading summer. Summer can be fun. There are lots of things we get to do during summer that don’t happen at other times. Like: spending hours and hours at the pool; not having to get up early to get ready for school (though GMan [...]
I set out to write something provocative and edgy this morning.
Somewhere along the way it turned to mush.
I’ve never had an edge, so it’s not like I lost it.
Instead, I need to find one.
Wanted: the edge I never had.
Assuming: it comes with the courage to use it.
If you follow me on Facebook or Flickr, you’ve already seen the pictures. But I still wanted to write about the evening here as well. This past Friday night, DB and I went to a benefit event at the Country Music Hall of Fame called, “The Art of Expression”. The fundraising was for two [...]
I admitted on Twitter this morning that I don’t get the uproar that was heard in the Mommy Blogging community over yesterday’s interview, on the Today show, between Kathie Lee Gifford, her co-host Hoda Kotb and Heather Armstrong of Dooce.com. (The full clip can be see here. An abbreviated clip can be seen here.) The [...]
Yes, Arthur, originally created by Marc Brown as a book series and now a popular children’s television program on PBS. Here’s how it happened. I’m sitting in the living room with GMan sipping my coffee and trying to wake-up (I’ve a bit of allergy/head cold thing going on). GMan’s watching Arthur and today’s episode is [...]
First, I’ll address some of the answers that were said about me. Tanya & Lisa not only got my middle name right but they spelled it correctly, too! (I can’t even spell right sometimes!) Tanya was the only one to get my eye color right. Sheryl & Brenda both hit the nail on the head [...]
My friend Erin sent this to me in an e-mail. I thought I’d try it in blog format. Not sure if it’ll fly or not but I’ve got nothing else to say today! So, in the comments, answer these questions as best you can about me. If you comment, I’ll respond back and answer the [...]
The GMan is 3 1/2 today! And the past six months have been such a roller coaster with him. Three has definitely been the toughest stage (it was with JBelle as well). Here are some things that the GMan has been up to recently.
At his “3 year” check-up (done this past Monday, only about six [...]
The GMan is constantly asking questions. He’s been asking questions for over a year now but they’ve grown increasingly more sophisticated (for a three year old) and lately, more difficult to answer. Mostly he asks about things that he’s observing. It’s especially frustrating when we are in the car and he asks the ubiquitous, “What’s [...]
