This, That and Whatever Else

January 3, 2010 by Elaine

Feeling kinda random today… I finally figured out which one is Burt and which one is Ernie (yes at age 34). Wanna know how? While watching Sesame Street the other day they had the characters’ first initials on their beds and I realized that Ernie is the one on the potty seat we have. Sesame…

WW – Caption It (The Dinosaur Edition)

November 11, 2009 by Elaine

Here’s mine… “So… THAT’S how the dinosaurs came to their demise!” Groan, I know. Poor T Rex. Got any better captions for me? If not, a regular comment will do. : ) Yesterday was kind of a crazy day and today the 5 yr old has ANOTHER day off from school and well, life is…

Let’s Recap

November 9, 2009 by Elaine

Our night out on Friday to celebrate our anniversary was quite lovely. We left the boys in the extremely capable hands of our sweet neighbors (a grandparent-like couple) and I knew it when she took Baby K right out of Tim’s hands and started to coo over her. Not that anyone in their right mind…

How Random Can I Be? Let’s See, Shall We?

November 3, 2009 by Elaine

Last week I met with Ben’s teacher for my very first parent/teacher conference and… I don’t think he could have gotten a better report. Except that he did not know the color purple. Well, he’s a boy, I mean why does he have to know THAT color. Obviously I’m kidding. She did say his behavior…

I’ve Been Gifted

October 27, 2009 by Elaine

I’ve never really been surprised at the generosity of people. In my experience my family and friends have always been giving and generous with their time, talent and even hand-me-downs (just FYI, I LOVE ‘hand-me-downs…) BUT. People you’ve never met in real life? Giving you things? It’s still surprising to me. Not because I think…

I Fear My Body Shall Never Be the Same

October 13, 2009 by Elaine

It’s probably partly my own fault for not exercising very much and going through the drive-thru WAY too many times this pregnancy, but I truly feel that things may never go back to the way they were before. Why you ask. Here’s my list of reasons: 1. My feet still aren’t completely back to normal….

I Wish…

September 28, 2009 by Elaine

Not too long ago my friend Maria at Bored Mommy posted a list which she titled “I Wish.” I hope she doesn’t mind that I’m borrowing her idea today… … for it to be Thursday (THIS Thursday). … for everything to go well on Thursday. … for baby K to be healthy (I also pray…

Random at its Best

September 25, 2009 by Elaine

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. Don’t ask me why, it just does. Does anyone else visualize themselves “picking…

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…
