Reading My Eyes Out

In just a couple of weeks, I’ve made it to the ninth book in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. Because I’ve been reading them so quickly and there are so many, I’m going to stick to some very short reviews and will be posting them all in the coming week. I’ll mix in [...]

Confession

I have been reading Slaughterhouse Five since November ’09. I’d better start making time to read or, at this rate, it will be the last book I read in my lifetime.

I’m Back…

It’s been ages since I posted here, but I’m not gone for good. In November, I had my baby a month early. Connal is doing great and surprising me with cool, new baby tricks every day. In February we moved from Ft Irwin, California to Ft Benning, GA. Well, we’re actually living in Ft Mitchell, [...]

About Time

Since it has been about 3 weeks without any kind of decent posting around here, I thought I would review Hip Mama Survival Guide. The review will be up tomorrow. In the meantime, I’m going to bore you with a picture of my gorgeous baby. I can’t keep my eyes off him. Merry Christmas!

The Best Laid Plans…

I had planned to pre-write about 20 posts this week to fill in the time after my baby arrived. He was due Dec 20th. However, he decided not to wait around and I went into labor Tuesday the 24th. Connal and I are doing well and are at home now, but I never did manage [...]

Speed Reading

Part of me thinks that any speed reading method, especially the commercial ones, is bogus. Another part of me has always been intrigued by the idea of speed reading. The more you read, the better you get at it. You will read a bit faster and generally maintain or improve your comprehension. What about these [...]

Fender Bender

Today I got to send this (and other similar pictures) to our insurance company: After leaving my obstetrician’s Tuesday, I had a fun little collision with a rude, little man in the parking lot. So I have spent 90% of my time since then playing phone tag with insurance company people and trying not to [...]

Evening Post

I was considering taking this week off from blogging, but didn’t consider it soon enough to prepare posts for the week. Instead of disappearing, I decided to start brainstorming for as many future posts as possible. Since the holidays are coming up and my due date is Dec 20th, I’m going to be ridiculously busy [...]

Domestic Violence Awareness

Most people know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. You’ve seen the all the pink products everywhere you went all month, even while watching football. What you may not know is that October is also Domestic Violence Awareness month. Having been in an abusive relationship myself, domestic violence awareness is an especially important cause [...]

Review: Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy

I should start out this review by saying that I didn’t have high hopes for this book. I’d heard all kinds of wonderful things from pregnant or recently pregnant people about it. I heard it was hilarious, sarcastic, kind of scary, honest, and a fun read. Most importantly, I had heard nothing negative about it, [...]
