The Olympics, Blog 365 and melatonin… among other things.
Pin itIt is August 11th, and I have blogged everyday of 2008. Man am I tired. It hasn’t been hard to come up with things to write about, but it has been hard to find the time to write about the things I really want to. It is even harder to keep up blog reading! [...]
More silliness about "stretchers".
Pin itRemember when I wrote about the oldest Olympic swimmer – Dara Torres? Remember? She’s the one who has 2 stretchers – because, when your body is 41 – a girl kinda needs professional stretchers to gain that extra edge over the youngies. Like me, Momma K was a bit beside herself over this “stretcher thing” [...]
Note to self: Music choices for children
Pin itWelcome to my new series, Note to Self. In this series I will simply post the mental notes to myself I usually leave and lose in my mind. Without further ado, my very first… When your 6 year old daughter asks to listen to music “with a girl singing” – don’t play Madonna. Songs [...]
08.08.08 – (Guest) Fridge Friday
Pin itIt’s time to give a little screen time to an East Coast fridge! My friend Jen (no blog, but yes… yet another Jen) sent me an email earlier this last month (yes, Fridge friday was on an extended vacation) that read: Jenny – I was thinking of you the other day when I came home [...]
A post in which I make fun of my pantry-keeping skills.
Pin itI decided to clean out my pantry recently. It was like a great big junk drawer of canned, boxed and bottled food. Apparently I have been stocking up on the necessities. I am such a “nester”… Apparently, every family of 5 needs THREE 40 ounce bottles of BBQ sauce. Yeah, because my kids use [...]
Letter Fail
Pin itI showed this letter to my husband and commented on the ill-use of “you’re” (2x) and “friend’s”. My husband’s reply: They’re selling cars, not diplomas! I think this is a very nice letter, but I think their should be someone who spel chekcs and grammar chekcs there letters to custamers. I think if the company did [...]
The Mid Summer Triathlon – through the eyes of Jenny.
Pin itMy apologies – this will be one of those long posts. The kind-of post successful bloggers advise against. But for the sake of time and being sure to get this down, I’m going to just go for it. Is there a blog award for longest post???? If you bear with me, I promise to [...]
A Post-Race Video
Pin itWhy? Because I am soooo multi-media. Why? Because I want you to see the ridiculous mega-shades I got at Target for $12.99, and it’ll be funny in 10 years when my children see this video. They’ll be all, “Moooooommmm! I can’t believe you wore those!” And I’ll be all, “I know!” Why? Because I [...]
The missteps of others…
Pin itOh how I love thee!!! I want to take this moment to thank FAIL Blog… Thank you for bringing knee-slapping laughter to my life. I do feel bad for the fella in the video below, I really do… No. Really… ******************** Keep up-to-date on the insane, the insightful, and the whatever… Click here and [...]
I finished my first Olympic Triathlon today.
Pin itHow’s that for a gripping title? I have a wonderful story to share about my first Olympic triathlon, that was also my first coed triathlon… but the lengthy details (such as the “Blubbering Swimmer”) will need to be shared later – hopefully tomorrow. I must share a little though, but quickly before my Tylenol [...]
