I said something earlier about my daughter doing a Walk Away the Pounds video with my husband.  Well, this morning, when I was doing the video because of a walking contest we’re doing at work… I caught my son doing it.  I even got it on video.  Once I get my writing done for the […]

I’ll freely admit that my daughter watches too much TV.  My husband has to have the TV on, even when he’s just sleeping in the living room, and my daughter has taken after him.  I’m going to have to work on that since I’ve never been a big fan of TV except for a few […]

Ok, so this is a few weeks old at this point, but I got a kick out of reading it on Slashdot when it first came out.  http://politics.slashdot.org/firehose.pl?op=view&type=story&sid=10/02/16/2346202 I even went to the source and read some of the first and second report written by the IPCC, or at least the parts that were referenced […]

I’m not one for New Year’s resolutions because I feel like if I’m not going to start today, I’m not going to start Jan 1, but I do have goals for the coming year(s). I’m giving myself a deadline of Jul 2014 to reach my goal weight.  That seems like a long time, but if […]

Like it’s not obvious with not being on the MUD recently, I haven’t been around much.  I’m working toward being able to post more frequently again.  Until then, you can check out my articles on the Examiner.com website 🙂  I think I posted a link to the side.  If not, there are several posted below.

So I did get the letter from my oldest, and he’s doing well.  He sounds so mature already, I’m so proud of him.  I wrote him back the day after I got the letter, but I need to write again already. And I’ve started writing for somewhere else too.  I signed up to write for […]

I live across the street from the park where my city sets off the fireworks.  This means nothing to me except that I can walk to the park with my daughter occasionally, and I can sit in my front yard to watch the fireworks every year.  Oh yea, and sometimes the softball games get very […]

Ok, so maybe not any lions or tigers. I’m sure you’ve all heard of the big scare for the swine flu lately.  There’s a varying number of dead, mostly in Mexico, with one Mexican toddler who died here in the US.  I don’t mean to sound callous, but it’s hard to get worried about this […]

It’s been rather difficult for me to post lately.  The area that everyone was saying wasn’t going to be affected has been affected pretty badly.  The company my husband works for laid off 25 people.  Another company in town laid off over 200, and oil wells are closing down.  It’s become as bleak here as […]

Ok, so I forgot to wish everyone a happy Pi Day.  Though as Steve and I were commenting tonight, it won’t be a true Pi day until 3/14/15 (get it 3.1415 LOL).  Ok, we’re geeks.  Though I guess I can’t say too much according to one of Adam Savage’s tweets this morning (link here opens […]
