Bad Idea American Girl
Z’s last birthday, she turned 6. What to do. I had heard much to do about the American Girl store at the Galleria and thought – PERFECT. We’ll make a day of it, get her a doll of her choice and celebrate her day. We made our way to the store, where we immediately encounter psycho upper class moms who have made their daughters up to look exactly like the dolls in the store. These weren’t … Read entire article »

Breaking Up With A Vendor
At work, we recently broke up with a vendor. It was nothing they did – just monetary wise it didn’t produce the return we were hoping for. While breaking up with a vendor isn’t 100% like breaking up with a boyfriend – there are similarities. And I mean, we were together for a year. Why am I writng about this? Because of the way the othe rcompany handled the separation. Not that I expected them to … Read entire article »
15 Weeks
Your baby now measures nearly 4 inches, about the size of a Kit Kat “finger” (regular-size, not the Big one you get at the movies), and weighs almost 2 ounces. Wow! I’ve grown a Kit Kat “finger”! All of this vomitting, sleeping and eating and we are up to 4 inches and 2 ounces. I’m not sure exactly what to say, because I know my waist has grown by at least 4 inches. And check out … Read entire article »
Pomplamoose Music – Absolute GREATNESS

What Does Your Wordle Say About You?
What does your wordle say about you? Obviously NAME is big in my world right now – right up there with kids, my husband, smoke, tunnels, people and baby. I wish I could take everything I say in a day and create one of these, I wonder what it would say about me. Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently … Read entire article »

Life In The Tunnels
When I was in 7th and 8th grade – me and my friends would hang out in the storm drains. Weird? probably. The drains were tunneled under a street and served as the perfect hide out for us “bad kids” to smoke cigarettes and curse. The drains were fairly large, you would hunch over while walking but every several yards there would be an opening with a small area similar to a room – where … Read entire article »
