If I am ever accused of having an affair, it will be having a love affair with a music album. Luckily, this “affair” can be shared with my husband, as he is also a music aficionado. Our first date was spent reviewing the highlights of our CD collections, concerts we’d attended, and lyrics to songs […]
I have always loved shoes. Back when I was in high school, I loved to deposit my paycheck and go straight to Nordstrom Rack to see if they had any good deals. If not, I would go to Payless for some one-season-lifespan shoes. When I was pregnant with Rosie, my feet went from a 10M […]
Yesterday I had my second Thrive weigh-in. I lost 1.8 pounds this week, totaling 5.8 total. We had our grocery store education tour, and I feel like I’ve been a little cheated my whole life on knowing what is and isn’t healthy. Today I filed our federal and state tax returns. We’re getting enough back […]

Yesterday, my neighbor’s daughter was over at our house afterschool, when Taylor got called off on a trip during his reserve shift. The mom was still at work, and we had to scramble to make arrangements for the time until she was back from work. She made a comment like, “Don’t you hate it when […]

I tried it out, and I’m hooked! It’s so tasty! And it’s one of those unlimited/anytime snacks I can […]

Two people have told me that my blog pages won’t load without an error message. I’ve checked it on my three computers in Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. Could you go […]
This week, Rosie’s school had Dr. Seuss week. Each day had a different theme, such as crazy hat day and pajama day. Rosie’s favorite was “Many Colored” day, based off of the book My Many Colored Days. This book was written by Dr. Seuss, but illustrated and published after his death. Rosie loves to get […]
Disclaimer: I am not a hypochondriac. I am an informed employee in a health-related profession. Have you ever had something wrong with your health, which you absolutely knew, but your doctor wouldn’t take the time to listen to all of your symptoms?

This morning I got an email from Facebook’s Compare People application, where you have a superlative description (most beautiful, most insane, etc) and photos of two people to vote on. Since I added the app, my “rankings” compared to my other Facebook friends have stayed pretty firm. But after reading today’s email, it appears I’ve […]
