Yay! My new digital camera has arrived! Perhaps now I can make my blog a little prettier with fun photos and turn all my lurkers into warmly-embraced, frequently-commenting readers.

In Defense of the TV
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged kids, parenting, television on August 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I just read an article that stated that the French government has banned television programs made for children under the age of 3. I get it, I understand what they’re saying but…man…folks need to calm down about this TV stuff. Why is television always the bad guy? Maybe I’ll get some flack for saying so [...]
So what now?

I’m not the type to write a really long post and then delete it. But the answer to my question above sank in about 20 minutes after I posted the original. So what now? Three very obvious words: write something new. Seems so simple once the sting wears off.
Silence
Posted in Uncategorized on August 17, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
A rare moment in this house – it is just me and The Little One. TLO is napping. The dogs are nowhere to be seen (probably also napping but, thankfully, quietly and in another part of the house). It is silent. I get at least an hour (fingers crossed) to play online and shop for [...]
Changing My Mind

In 2003 Natalie Maines, lead singer of the Dixie Chicks, uttered some very famous words. Infamous, actually. At the time I was still in college, still living with my extreme right-wing, Bush-voting, all-military-all-the-time, iron-fisted family. That makes them sound much worse than they are but you can imagine what their reaction to a statement like [...]
Gratitude

You know when plan after plan falls through and you just want to stomp your feet and scream or maybe switch careers and become a professional grocery-bagger because that seems like a low stress job with flexible hours and you know that you could pull off the requisite pleated trousers with flair to spare? You [...]
Go World

I have to say, all politics aside, some of these Olympics commercials are really quite wonderful. This is my personal favorite. It literally makes me tear up just a bit. I guess I’m a little sappier than I knew.
Things That Will Keep My Mind Wandering This Weekend

1. Earlier this week an agent requested a partial read of my novel. First time ever. Very exciting. The first four chapters and a brief synopsis were delivered to her office at 8:33 this morning. I will now commence frantic refreshing of my inbox, hoping for a further interest. Otherwise I will expect the standard [...]
The Worst

Waiting is the absolute worst, isn’t it? I have been sitting here all day refreshing my inbox over and over and over again. So far…nothing. Torture.
Keep on moving…
