Tomorrow my daughter goes back to school after her spring break. With any luck she’ll get up on time tomorrow and I’ll have a few hours to myself (with the baby) to get started on the projects around the house. I...

I think this is the very first moment I’ve had to myself in seven days. I should be running the vacuum, but instead I’m typing this. Apparently the kids won’t let me out of their line of sight anyway. Kidlette...

Nice surprise this morning to find this great picture of Jack my in-laws took of him over the weekend. He sleeps through the night (12 hours!) and only fusses when he’s hungry or needs to be changed. When he’s...

Wow, have I really not posted in over two weeks? How does life get so crazy? Oh, yeah, now I remember, my daughter is sick and now so am I. It’s the twice-yearly sinus/sore throat/lost voice variety of cooties. So now in...

How exciting, right? Hell yeah it is (for me)! Like I mentioned in the last post, for Valentine’s Day my husband got me a new cell phone. It’s a HTC Mogul on Sprint and it’s *sexy*. I swore I’d never call...

I never was a big fan of the ‘holiday’. As a kid it was sweet – exchanging little tiny Valentine’s Day cards and making paper hearts. As a teen, it was a painful day – whether or not I was dating...

No plans for me this weekend, only puppy-sitting for our neighbors. The husband is going out Saturday night with a friend, but I’m usually sleeping by 8pm anyway, so even if I could go out, I’d be snoring on the bar....

A few years back when this whole ‘new social media’ was starting up, I was right there in the thick of things. Hell, I’ve been blogging for almost 9 years. I tend to catch tech in it’s infancy and jump in...

I’m off to the vets in about an hour to see if our youngest pug (just shy of 8 years old) is still sick. Two Christmas’ ago she seemed to get really sick, peeing by the back door 2-3 times a day and with a lot of...

So I’ve been in this blogging (1998), podcasting (2003) and new media (uh…always?) thing for awhile now, and am finally getting over my fear of being on video. I still have reservations about my voice, and probably...

So the movie Hairspray has been getting high rotation in my house lately. We rented the original 1988 version from NetFlix since my husband hadn’t seen it. I figured it was better to see the John Waters version first...

So no surprise my (6 year old) daughter is obsessed with trying to get me to let her play in Second Life. Not gonna happen. In it’s place there are dozens of kid-friendly metaverses & online games out there. Club...

This morning I fired up Twitter and found sad news. A fellow new mom and online Twitter friend Ashley Spencer was killed in a car accident on Tuesday. Her daughter was born just four weeks after my son Jack was. Please if you...

So it’s only 8 days into the new year (WHAT? That’s *IT*?) but I’m still headstrong about my goals. Mainly I’ve gotten back on the scrapbooking kick. More accurately, I’m picking up where I left off...

2007 was a long year. A. VERY. LONG. YEAR. Let’s see if I can get this right in no particular order … Expanded my Second Life business Purple Stripe Productions. Worked at crayon for a short bit. Had a baby boy. Sent...
