Queen of Rambles

I’m much too tired to write a real entry tonight. My poor eyes are having severe problems thanks to the chlorine at the pool today. Bah!
Instead, I’ll point you over to Mosaic Minds. We have a ton of great stuff, as always. I have my usual feature, book review and letter from [...]

I am on pins and needles over here. Heather’s water broke yesterday morning, so I was hoping we’d have some word on the status of her baby by now! I’m sure she and her husband will be too busy to post, but I thought maybe Tora might know something and have permission to [...]

It may have rained outside, but it was a sunshiney day inside. Erik slept about two hours later than normal, then took a four hour nap. What a difference it made in his mood! No whining, no fussing, no biting. I wish I could figure out a way to get him [...]

I had my first Mary Kay sale tonight and I wasn’t even trying hard. Two of the moms from my group came over to be guinea pigs and I promised them I wouldn’t give them a hard sale. I am so glad I had the chance to practice on them b/c I was [...]

Ok, all you mavens of child development, can you tell me what happens when a baby hits 8 months? It’s quiz time!
I can tell you. Oh how I can tell you.

I guess those of you living on the East Coast know that it’s time to start building an ark. I had to go to a Mary Kay meeting tonight and I didn’t think I was going to make it home. I couldn’t see the road at all and when I’d hit deep water [...]

I stumbled across proof positive that people really are more stupid than I give them credit for. I know I shouldn’t be, but I am actually astounded at the things people do.
I have become a fan of Big Love, the HBO series about polygamy. I wanted to find out when the next season [...]

I guess THIS LINK has been making the rounds, but how can I pass up an opportunity to post about a Banana Guard? I was reading the description out loud to Mike and he was very excited because his daily banana always gets squished, but after taking a look at the picture he suddenly [...]

Want to take your pre-walker to the coolest playground in town? You’ll have fun too, especially if you’re a shoe addict.
I’m not a shoe addict, but I needed some dress shoes. My pre-pregnancy dress shoes don’t fit anymore and they are ugly so new shoes were a necessity for my new business woman [...]

First of all, thank you guys for all the support yesterday. Sometimes I feel like such a big ball of neediness, but you guys always come through for me anyway. Even I get tired of hearing about my issues so I’m sure you do too, but you never let on. What a good [...]
