An example of why I (mothers) can never really get stuff done.
Pin itMe: *Scurry, scurry, scurry… Clean, clean, clean…* Me: *Madly cleaning… scurry, scurry…* Me, inside voice: “By 11 I want the kitchen “mostly” cleaned, a shower, dry my hair and get 10-20 more minutes of pantry organization done…” Note: I started organizing my pantry 3 days ago. 3 full days ago. Lucy (my 3 year [...]
Me and Lance Armstrong – Same!
Pin itO.K., MAYBE that is a slight exaggeration. I am a woman and he is a man. He has prolly no body fat and I have… do. BUT, for a brief moment (approximately 10-20 seconds) I was Just. Like. Lance. Armstrong. You see, it is rumored he races at 95% of his maximum heart-rate. And for [...]
6 random things.
Pin itI’ve been tagged by Myra of We Make Three! What does “this Myra” want me to do? Well, she has asked me to do something that comes very natural to me: be random! 1. I eat meat. 2. My favorite meat is red, steaky meat slathered with gorgonzola sauce. 3. I *heart* Oreos. 4. [...]
BlogHer '08… Finally – A recap! Part 1 of ???
Pin itPre-post business (heh, I wrote “business”): Due to my poor technical skillz – I can’t fix my broken WordPress photo uploader… I am afraid to add a Flickr application for WordPress to load my pics in a post (instead of the WordPress uploader)… and my “blog this” settings are jacked in Flickr so I [...]

Help is not all that helpful.
Pin it***From the mind of the mother of 3 children. A post in which I propose and prove the following theory: “help” is – in fact- a form medieval torture for mothers.*** I don’t like “help”. Often times (read: every… time…), help is, actually Not. All. That. Helpful. It’s not that I want or need to do [...]
We will return to regularly scheduled programming…
Pin itWhen my site isn’t broken, when my children go to bed before frickin’ 11 at night, when I can load pictures, when visitors leave for home, and when I can maybe catch up on a little thing called “sleep”. It’s been quite the week – returning home from BlogHer ’08 to a full house [...]
My sister – a picture of health.
Pin itWanna know what my sister said as she was shoving the last piece of cinnamon roll in her mouth??? Read this with a Valley Girl accent: Pizza! I don’t eat peeeeetzzaaaaa! But she does eat cinnamon rolls. She is so healthy. I love her. She’s carbo-loading for our 4 mile road race tomorrow morning. [...]
Zumba!!!
Pin itYa’ll heard of the newest workout dance craze – ZUMBA? Oh wait, it’s only new here… a mere technicality… It’s a Salsa-esque dance/aerobic class. My gym just started offering it. I resisted at first because I really only like to dance when it’s dark and the reality that others perceive is altered – a [...]
