Okay, I’m Going to Admit It

I’ve been scared to utter the following words, for the past couple of weeks, but tonight I think I’m ready…
Madeline is potty-trained!
Yay!
You might recall that Madeline secretly packed her undies when we went on our trip to Chula Vista a couple of weeks ago, and ever since then she has been using the potty. I [...]

The Christening

Remember my story about my positive experience with our TV? Well, we still don’t have a new TV. It seems that they don’t have any of the same TV’s in stock (probably because they were crap and they had to throw them all out), so they can’t send me a new one. So instead they [...]

The End is in Sight

So, it’s been a while since I’ve talked about our basement. Basically  they did drywall for quite a while (which was very messy, and I am very glad it is over). I have a coating of white dust throughout the entire house, which I haven’t bothered to clean since I wanted to wait until all [...]

This is Why You’re Fat

I stumbled across this blog a little while back. It’s full of pictures of disgustingly fattening food. As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m quite the fan of fried, unhealthy food but even this is a bit much for me! Take this one for example:

Looks like carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, right? It’s actually [...]

Puking His Brains Out

Last night David got sick. He started to feel queasy, so he headed to bed. I was nursing Anthony in bed and heard him in the bathroom puking for a couple of minutes. It sounded pretty dramatic, but if you happen to know David you know that the majority of his bodily functions are quite [...]

It’s All Fun and Games, Until Something Gets Broken

Last week I had to make a stop at the furniture store to return a fabric sample. Normally I prefer to avoid taking both kids out on errands, because I am not into self-inflicted torture, but this particular day I was feeling extra energized so I figured I would give it a go. 
I packed both [...]

Will Give Opinion for Money

Last Tuesday before we left on our trip, I spent the morning over at Harley Davidson participating in a research panel. Bet you all didn’t know I was a closeted expert on motorcycles, huh? Well, I’m not. It just turns out that the company that was doing the research rented out the building for their [...]

Bedtime Cuddles

Today both of the kids decided to take nice, long naps. It’s nice when they do it, but unfortunately we can never predict when they will do that, so we aren’t fully able to take advantage of the 3 hour-long break. Not that we would do anything too exciting. I’m guessing both David and I [...]

Catching Up

It’s been a little while since my last post, so this post is going to be all over the place while I catch up.
The basement is coming along quite nicely. I have to admit that I am getting tired of hearing the bangs, thuds, and the screeching of saws, and drills. I also wasn’t very [...]

Adventures in the Land of Customer Service

David and I have a little 15 inch plasma screen TV in our bedroom. We’ve had it for just over a year. A couple of weeks ago the screen started blinking. It would show the picture and blink to a black screen. Then eventually the screen would go entirely black, although you could still hear [...]
