Practicing my ABCs and 123s on the internet since 1995.
I recently joined Influenster and oddly enough, I had a bottle of Hellmann’s Mayonnaise sent to me to try out. We normally don’t go through enough mayo or spread of any kind to make us go through an entire jar before the expiration date. Of course that was before the kiddo. When we first started… Read more Kids and Food and Allergies
i have started experimenting with the various social media sites. I noticed the only real reach I had on Facebook was when I posted pics of my son or my cats. On Twitter, it is my random nonsense that gets the most interest. So, I have decided to try posting only links to Facebook, most… Read more Experiments
Well, it appears I’m just no good at this anymore. I’m posting once every six months it feels like. I blame facebook for this. I tend to post my random thoughts there. I’m trying to not do it as much, but sometimes it’s easier to understand the context if we’re friends. Things are going well… Read more Just No Good At This
So it has been a couple of months since leaving my job and I think I have kept too busy to notice much. I have been working on my parents place and spending time with family. I have found that I enjoy watching a couple of cooking shows, but that’s about it. Let’s check back… Read more Year End
So yeah. I went and had a baby seven months ago. Whoops. Where does the time go? He’s a little ham and a half and already has an unhealthy obsession with electronics. This should be fun! In other big news, I left my job! It was a tough decision but also the easiest one. It… Read more Seven Months
You would think that I’m not posting much because I’m pregnant and busy with that. But you’d be wrong. Honestly, work is taking up most of my waking hours. We are about to launch a new version of my employer’s site and well, as part of the project I’ve taken on a couple of full… Read more You’d Be Wrong
Sometimes I forget the things I know. No, really. The other day we were watching a movie and there was an entire scene that was in Italian, with no subtitles. Oddly enough, I remembered the Italian I learned when I was a kid and was able to follow along. It reminds me the time when… Read more When You Remember
In 2013, I did the “52 week money challenge” and it’s what paid for all of the nursery furniture. I wasn’t planning on being pregnant when I started, I just wanted a way to force myself to save a little “just in case it’s needed” money. Well, it’s a good thing because we ended up needing… Read more 52 Week Challenge
Well, my last post was a while ago and it was quite a downer. I haven’t felt like posting much since then. I find myself working a lot more than is probably healthy, but I’m going to be changing that. Why? Because I’m having a baby. After 14 years of marriage, we’ve taken the plunge.… Read more Happier News
On the morning of Sunday, June 16, 2013, we said goodbye for the last time to Skittles, our cat of 15 and a half years. She was getting very sick and finally reached the point where we knew it was the end. She made it to her 16th birthday, getting a can of Friskies as… Read more Goodbye My Little Evil Princess
