A Beautiful Boy

This post won’t be lengthy…As a result of learning about beautiful boy in the above photo, I have been thinking rather than writing–contemplating life, the afterlife, time, and the precious gifts we all are so very lucky to have here and now.
This little boy was James Bulger, and he died almost 20 years ago. He [...]

Big Plans and Lots of Hope

Wow! Has it really been over a month since I wrote on this blog?? Where does the time go? Well, I guess I’ve spent my time mainly 1) fantasizing about new ventures 2) getting very annoyed about certain aspects of my job–not Hot Boss, though 3) enjoying the success of some ventures I started last [...]

My Favorite Spatula

My husband decided to fix dinner. I was so happy!
He fixed eggs and put a LOT of ketchup on them for my sons. Why am I telling you that part? I guess because I don’t really like that my children are getting into the habit of putting ketchup on food it doesn’t belong on…In fact, [...]

Things I Have Learned from My Husband

My husband’s strengths and faults are a near perfect balance to my own. When we met 13 years ago, I was a very different person than I am now. I am absolutely positive that I would not have learned the same things from just any marriage, and I also feel that some of the tougher [...]

Not Very Mature–and I Like It

I must admit, I am not too mature when it comes to my mother-in-law. And I enjoy it. (Read background about her here, though I assure you, you’re really better off not knowing.) I’m going to tell you my very favorite little trick that allows me to live a happy life despite her nastiness. You’ll [...]

My Husband Gets Jealous about Dumb Things

My husband claims that he’s not the jealous type. But he is SO jealous. And it’s dumb because I’m always at home. I’ve been at home for 6 years working nonstop at my computer. I have three children. I do stuff like change diapers and wash laundry–the few occasions when I go out, I don’t [...]

Sexy Boss Update

It seems like a good time for a Sexy Boss update. But first, quick recap: I got a new job, and my boss is hot. Also, I’m happily married, so during those rare instances (extremely, extremely rare) when I think a man is hot, I stay far away from him. For this reason, I’m VERY [...]

My Husband Took Our Son to Kindergarten…Big Mistake

I have set a non-blogging record. I think it has been over a month since I’ve posted. Oh, life is crazy! But fun and good. I’m trying new things—-quite ambitious things. So ambitious, in fact, that I’m embarrassed to tell you what they are.  BUT I will definitely let you know if I succeed. If [...]

Never Thought I’d Say This

A common occurrence took place as I was on a walk yesterday–but I responded differently this time than ever before. I was strolling with my one-year-old, and a lady passed by and smiled at him. Then she looked up and asked with surprise and a tad of judgment, “Is he YOURS?” I said “Yes,” and [...]

Playdate at the Home of an Actress

I have an acquaintance who is a beautiful actress. She has been on many shows and now has a regular role on one. She’s one of those people who is so beautiful that she elicits…people-pleasing behavior from others. Like if she forgets money to pay at a cash register, the cashier smiles really nicely and [...]
