I am a current events junkie, so of course I’ve been following the recent story of the earthquake in southern Illinois. This earthquake was pretty strong; so strong, that tremors were felt as far away as large cities like Chicago, Indianapolis, and even Atlanta, Georgia. Another recent headline in the news lately is the rash […]

Finally the snow has stopped (quick, where is some wood for knocking?!? Our snowblower has been put away, which is enough of a jinx, but add a comment like the above, and I’m asking for trouble!), and the weather is finally being cooperative enough for some outdoor fun. So this weekend had us taking in
We stayed up late watching the Oscar winning movie, “No Country for Old Men” last night, so when the phone rang at 6 am this morning, my husband was overjoyed about the fog delay. I did not hear the phone at 6, nor did I hear the follow-up call at 8 saying school was cancelled

RECAP: My favorite kitchen tool (can you tell I’m not a gourmet cook?), my retractable permanent marker aka Sharpie, went missing. UPDATE: Just when I had given up and assumed that my toddler had thrown it in the garbage, it turned up in the unlikliest of places (of course). It was in the laundry room,

I got to do something so cool today – it really made my day. It’s so nice outside, so I was looking for a place to walk with my youngest-for-now, and we decided upon the pet store. Not that we need a specific place to walk, but I always like to have a mission. So
Yesterday I did something I’ve never done before – I passed a 3 hour glucose challenge! I haven’t had a gestational diabetes-free pregnancy since my first-born 8 ½ years ago! It feels really good to know that I can eat whatever I want for the next few months without having to worry about pairing proteins
Saw the movie Alpha Dog last night. It wasn’t really my kind of movie, and the only reason I really enjoyed it is because it’s based on a true story… and unlike many movies which claim to be based upon true stories, this one was actually pretty accurate. It’s about a spoiled rich kid named
Took my 3-hour glucose “challenge” today, and since it was SO fun for me (sarcasm adundant), I thought I would spread some of the ‘cheer’ by giving you a run-down of what this medical test entails. First, why do they call it a glucose challenge? To provide extra motivation, maybe? Whatever the reason, I think

Came across a few really cute animal-themed emails lately, so I thought I’d share. The first one is for people who don’t have a dog or just have a very disobedient one. Enter a command in the text box and the cute doggie will do it. Try ‘kiss’. [swf]https://www.idodogtricks.com/site_template_v10.swf[/swf] Then there’s this video, which features
