Health Care Reform Bill Passes With No Public Option Or Public Funding For Abortion
Well at least that's something I can agree with, no public funding of abortions and no "socialized" or "centralized" health care system. But there are so many things in this bill that I do not agree with, it's hard to enumerate them. Before all the left wingers go crazy on me, let me say that I do believe that health care reform is desperately needed ...
Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2010
Just a bit o' Irish humor for you all today. As always, if you are seeing lots of these... You've had too many of these... And need to stop doing this... Or people will start calling you this... You will then want to start some rumbles, when all you'll really be doing is... Please don't drink and drive. You'll spill your drink. An Irish Blessing May the ...
Just Another Wordless Wednesday…{In My Shoes}
I guess it was bound to happen at some point, I just never expected it to occur a mere few days after she turned 5. Seeing this made both proud and sad. Next, she will be into my make-up and dress clothes. My baby is growing up, far too quickly for my taste. I cannot shake the feeling that I missed something important... Oh, she walked ...
The Diva Needs A Toy Box
[caption id="attachment_2300" align="alignright" width="240" caption="Image courtesy of www.kidsfurniturecloset.com"][/caption] I have been on a mission for a while now to get The Diva a good toy box. The old diaper boxes just aren't working anymore. The problem is that all the ones I have found are either too small or too expensive and I certainly can't afford a custom job. I think I will have to build ...
I’ve Lost My Mojo
I have several posts sitting in queue because they are halfway finished, but I can't seem to finish them. I can't seem to get my Shan's Week-End Wordles posts up. I can't seem to write anything that I find even partially coherent enough to post. I'm lucky if I get a Wordless Wednesday up. What is wrong with me? I know I can write. I know ...
How To Make Green Eggs And Ham…Or Not
Last week was Dr. Seuss' birthday and it was celebrated at The Diva's school. Ever since then, she has been obsessed with him. And Green Eggs and Ham. Yesterday was The Diva's 5th birthday and when asked what she would like for her special meal, she said, you guessed it, Green Eggs And Ham. Being the good Mama that I am, I set out to give ...
Happy 5th Birthday To My Baby Girl!!!
Oh Miss Ro, today is your 5th birthday. I cannot believe that my baby is so big now! You have almost finished your first year of school and you are doing so well. You can write your whole name, read books, draw beautiful pictures and are so creative. You are so intelligent that I had to request a K1 class for you when you start ...
$300 To Call 911? I Guess The Neighbors Will Be Letting Your House Burn
Tracy and Loma Linda, California are now going to charge residents $300 for every call to 911 with an option to pay $48 for unlimited calls for one year. If you are not a resident of Tracy or Loma Linda, it will cost you $400 per call. Is this a creative way to make up for a budget shortfall or a recipe for disaster? From KTLA: LOMA ...
Oh My, 39?!?!?
Today is my 39th birthday. Which means next week The Diva will turn 5!! Oh my God, when did my baby get so big?? Anyway, I refuse to turn 40, ever, so I will be 39 and holding in perpetuity. I also have to attend the funeral for my Husband's Grandmother today. And before y'all start giving out condolences, you need to know that she was ...

Just Another Wordless Wednesday…{First Spring Leaves}
Just a couple of weeks ago, we had absolutely no leaves on our tree. Now the first baby leaves of Spring have begun to bloom. *sigh* I prefer Winter. These pretty leaves simply mean three things: I am about to be 39, The Diva is about to be 5 and Summer is coming. And I must endure 100*+ days in a house with no central air. ;( For ...
An Interview With Susan From What Happened To My House?
I recently asked the highly talented blog designer {She did the graphics for my blog}, Susan, from What Happened To My House? if I could interview her about how she came to live in an RV with her whole family and their pets and she said yes! I find her story fascinating. I know that I could never do it. We have a less than ...
2010 Vancouver Olympic Opening Ceremonies: Visually Stunning But Vocally Annoying
Did you all watch the Opening Ceremonies last night? I thought they were visually stunning. The whales that looked like they were swimming across the stage, the giant bear, the "snow", the wheat fields....all of it was amazing. What I did not find appealing was the musical acts. Not that I don't like some of those particular singers, but why were they lip syncing? ...
Anxiety: Picking The Right Kindergarten
Last week, I had to go to our school district to ask for a transfer for The Diva. The school the district wants her to go to is over 7 miles away and they want her to take the bus. Yeah, not in this lifetime will I allow my daughter to ride a school bus with no seat belts. Oh, but that is a whole ...
Your Daughter Can’t Attend School Today, She Has Boogers
That is what I was told last Thursday when I took The Diva to school. And again the next morning. WTF?? OK, a little backstory... The Diva started off with a cold last Friday, the 15th --stuffy nose, drippy nose, sore throat. She stayed at school that day and I was advised to keep her home the following Tuesday if she was still having symptoms {Monday was MLK ...
January Is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month
Did you all know this? Does anybody know this? Probably not. Why? Because cervical cancer gets NO PRESS. Almost none at all. There are pink ribbon campaigns, kitchen gadgets, Campbell's Soup cans, purses, make-up...MANY items you can buy to support National Breast Cancer Month every October. There are also huge Go RED campaigns run every February to promote Women's Heart Health Month. Hell, they even ...

I had no money in my PayPal account, but I have it connected to my checking account so that is where the funds came out of, thereby making certain checks bounce....

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week In NYC!!
Oh how I would love to be able to go to the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. I LOVE New York. Really. I am a huge Sex And The City fan and daydreamed about having that kind of life. All of the culture and ambience in NYC/Manhattan proper…we don’t have that here in my neck of the...
