A few of you fabulous readers have asked me why you no longer have to type in that crazy, impossible nonsense word before you can leave a comment. I actually was going to write this post when I removed it, but I thought, “Oh, no one really cares about that!” But it turns out you…
*This is part 2 of my post on Success.* I tend to be an all-or-nothing person. And this quality can be both good and bad. If I make the decision to do something, I want to give it my all. I want to really invest the time and energy that is necessary to make it…
Last night’s episode of Lost has my mind spinning with theories about the meaning of the show. Instead of rehashing the details of the episode (if you are reading this you probably already saw it), I am going to write about what I think things mean.

So, #4 has taught me new lessons about spit, puke and other forms of regurgitation. To say this girl spits up really doesn’t properly explain the situation. She…
The theme today at Works for Me Wednesday is “blogging tips”. I love reading web sites with blogging tips, so I definitely will be checking out all of the links on this one. I still have a lot to learn about blogging, but I do have a tip to share. Back in my previous life,…
After such a long break of thinking about Lost, my brain seems to have grown mushy in its attempts to process space jumping, alternate realities, and hydrogen bombs that detonate but don’t actually hurt anyone. I think my brain was still spinning even while I was asleep as I attempted to make sense of last…
Two months ago, she came into the world at 7 pounds, 2 ounces. One month ago, she gave us her first smile and started focusing on lights. Today, she is two months old! She weighs 9 pounds, 14 ounces. She tracks with her eyes. She coos. She watches intently when someone talks to her. She…
