I’m BEGGING You
July 31, 2008
Please please please PLEASE don’t play music on your blogs. It makes my browser crash and sometimes I have to reboot the whole blasted computer. Besides, sometimes I have my own music running, or my speakers are up a little too high after the last song I heard… PLEASE don’t automatically play your music on […]
Something Fishy Going On

Comments Off on Something Fishy Going On
I was just talking to my husband about us going ultra-natural with our diet the other day, sayin we should eat more fish and perhaps take fish oil supplements for all our joint pains, when I see THIS going on: a Seafood Cook Off! Oh I just love seafood. I grew up by a lake […]
Cuil: Google’s Nemesis?

Comments Off on Cuil: Google’s Nemesis?
Well, the bloggers and news outlets are abuzz with the newly released Cuil (pronounced “cool”). It’s the brainchild of a former Google employee, and went live Monday. After the latest severe swath of Page Rank deaths (Freaky Frugalite got a 0, thank so much you Google jerks; except Andrew- you’re not a jerk), we are […]
I’ve Been a Guinea Pig
July 29, 2008
I believe in “experimental” medicine. I do, I do. Of course, I believe in all-natural medicine. I was a guinea pig for US obstetrics when I was pregnant for my child. My pregnancies always run very late (3 to 4 weeks late- imagine that!) and my babies are HUGE. So my doctor, a Canadian, asked […]
Tiresome Day

Have you ever been in so much pain that you felt like you were going to throw up? Yeah? I feel for ya. I really, really do. 🙁
Going Organic
July 28, 2008
I’m delving more and more into the uber-health food and drink products. After seeing how much gunk is dumped into our processed foods, we’re trying to go as natural as possible. Plus, my youngest son has frequent tummyaches, and I’m trying to treat them with digestive-healing foods and drinks. We’ve tried licorice so far- I’m […]
Of Course It Should Be!
July 27, 2008
This was a fun and, surprisingly, accurate quiz. Of course it should be! Your Blog Should Be Purple You’re an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything. You tend to set blogging trends, and you’re the most likely to write your own meme or survey. You are a bit distant though. […]
Hoops & YoYo
July 26, 2008
OK, I’m not going to overdo it with a flurry of Hoops & YoYo posts and I won’t rave about how much I love Hoops & YoYo. But they are so FUNNY in a really annoying and mischievous kind of way. Hee. My kids always send me Hoops & YoYo e-cards (they are characters invented […]
Dealing With Debt
July 26, 2008
I’ve been trying to avoid the “recession” woes news as much as possible these days. It’s not because I want to stick my head in the sand like an ostrich and pretend things aren’t there… but I do tend to worry about things, and what can a person do when the governments are bound and […]


Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
