Do They Teach “Heart-String Pulling” in School?

September 29, 2009 by Elaine

Yesterday morning we all over-slept a little. The B Man (who really needs some time to play in the mornings before school) only had 25 minutes to eat breakfast, get dressed and get ready to go. Not good. Little G was ALL outta sorts because I was in a huge hurry (didn’t pack lunch the…

Watching Grey’s makes me want to visit Seattle, and Oregon and Boston and Maine and Chicago (again) and Montana and Niagra Falls and Toronto and all kinds of other North American places I have yet to go or have visited too briefly.

38 Weeks is a LONG Time

September 23, 2009 by Elaine

I kinda felt like just hiding in the shadows yesterday. The only reasons I left the house was to pick The B Man up from school and return a DVD from the library, all in one trip. I showered late and didn’t eat very much. There’s not that much room left. My body is tired…

Sonograms are Better Nowadays, Right?

September 22, 2009 by Elaine

I’ve been wrapped up in expecting a girl. The clothes, the bows, the PINK, the polka dots (I love me some polka dots!), the idea of dressing MY child in a DRESS and it being well, APPROPRIATE. I went to our new dentist this morning and the hygienist (who’s probably in her early ’50’s) felt…

I’ve made SO very many connections through this site that I never thought possible or even dreamed of when I started writing in this space almost three years ago.

I Gotta Get This Off My Chest

September 17, 2009 by Elaine

I’m not even going to say their names but just know, that I want them off my t.v. and the cover of all the magazines at the grocery store. My husband expressed a similar sentiment the other day and used some very ‘choice’ words while doing so. Yes, their show was cute at first and…
