Fitnessy Friday

I sat down to write my FFF post and you know what? I got nuthin. I’m fresh out of fun facts.
So, instead of making up some facts for you, I’m going to ask for your help. As I previously mentioned, I’m going to participate in a half marathon in December. This gives me six months […]

If this guy went to my church, I’d never miss a Sunday


Yes, it’s another post about Harry Potter. Get over it.

I was talking to some folks at the Workplace the other day about the most recent Harry Potter book. Turns out, several of them immediately read the epilogue and then started reading the beginning of the book. This absolutely floors me. I honestly cannot comprehend “ruining” a book by reading it that way. But I […]

What’s love got to do with it?

So, here I am, thinking Maddie’s got a cold. I sent her to the babysitter’s yesterday and went to work. Last night, she was miserable. Crusty-eyed, puffy-faced and pissed. I took her to the pediatrician this morning and it turns out her “cold” is really a sinus, ear and double eye infection. Three prescriptions worth […]

Dorkness Confirmed

Gerald and I saw Order of the Phoenix while my dad and his wife watched Maddie. Is it just me, or did anyone else think Daniel Radcliffe is turning into quite the little hottie? And I hear he’s legal now. Of course, I heard this from my husband, so that kinda put a damper on […]

Yes, I am a dork

Today’s the day. Will Harry die? Will we find out where Snape’s loyalty truly lies? Will Ron and Hermione get together? Will Harry FINALLY be able to tell off the Dursleys?
Instead of sitting at home, anxiously awaiting the delivery of my Amazon box, I will be at the movies. Seeing, you guessed it, Harry Potter […]

Misery

Maddie has a cold. Therefore, last night was filled with misery for everyone in our house.
Today is filled with sneezes, watery eyes, runny noses and drool. It is not a pretty picture.
Please, try to enjoy your snot-free weekend. Don’t give a second thought to those of us that are suffering so mightily. *cough cough*

Six Months

My Dear Maddie,
Today, you turn six months old. I can hardly believe how quickly time has passed. It seems like only days ago that you came into this world, howling at the injustice of it all. I guess it’s pretty ironic that you spent this evening howling at the injustice of it all, too.
Even though […]

Excited. Also, Conflicted

One month from today will be my last day at the Workplace. I’m very excited, as you can see from the way I’m counting down the days. But, there is a whole slew of other things I’m feeling about this change.
First, there’s the inevitable worry. Are we making the right decision for our family? Will […]

Maybe a milestone. I’m not sure.

I think Maddie is saying “mama.” I mean, she’s saying it, but I think she might be calling me “mama.” I’m not sure, though.
She’s only done it few times, but she looks right at me at smiles and says “mama.” Not the older version that was “mamamamamamamamamama,” either. Just two little ma’s.
I’ll be experimenting to […]
