I’m raising a drag queen

February 18, 2008

On Saturday I went and got a manicure/pedicure. Michael was very confused that my nails were now colored. My nails are normally painted some color, but this was the first time I told him what I was going to do. Normally I get my nail done after work before picking him up from daycare. (I'm [...]

Quote Book Saturday

February 17, 2008

I've decided this blog really is my quote book. And, since I often post on Saturdays, and no one reads it, I'm posting my favorite quote I heard that week. I can't promise every Saturday, but I will post when I heard, saw, or read something that spoke to me. "The moment you accept yourself [...]

Questions with no specifics

February 15, 2008

How do you lower you expectations? Even when you know your expectations are unreasonable and will never be met? And even though you know that you continue to have them and are constantly disappointed and hurt? How do you let it go so you can live your life without being constantly disappointed and hurt? How [...]

It’s amazing how some things work out

February 14, 2008

I enrolled Michael in preschool today. Yes, enrolled. No waitlists, no applications, come, sign up, pay. It reminded me so much of my first choice, and I even liked it better. It's small, homey, and very nutrturing. And I never would have found it if a friend hadn't told me that's where her kids went [...]

Dilemma

February 13, 2008

Things are not looking up from yesterday, another hurried morning, another canceled hearing, but I won't bore with the details. I do have a question though. Doug and I are going out Saturday night to a fancy restaurant for a belated Valentine's Day celebration. I actually hate Valentine's Day. I feel like if someone loves [...]

Day of Suckage

February 12, 2008

Here is my day so far, and no I'm not exaggerating- 8:30 am-race Michael to daycare to make a 9:00 am court hearing only to learn it's been canceled. 9:00 am-vote, which takes far too long. Why does it take 45 minutes to get a card and plug it into a machine and touch the [...]

Just in case you were thinking about it

February 12, 2008

Don't poach a salmon in the crock pot. It comes out really, really dry. And why exactly did I decide this was a good idea? Like it's so hard to turn the oven on? I can't even say that I didn't want to heat up the house, it's subzero here. And it's not like I [...]

Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience this caused you. We are continually working to determine how [...]

The return of Chloe

February 10, 2008

Chloe, the squirrel, has resurfaced. My neighbor complained to me today that she has a squirrel in her roof. I like to think Chloe found her way home and is just off by one house.

I have finally figured out why I love blogging so much

February 8, 2008

It's my quote book. Come on, I can't be the only adolescent girl to keep a quote book. It's a book where you write down quotes that are meaningful to you. I have 3, filled up beginning from junior high to right about the time I started dating Doug. I can read them, and know [...]
