Ahhhhhhhh!
I watched Project Runway tonight, convinced from the beginning that Uli would be out. Instead, she pulled out a beautiful dress that still looked very “her” without being a repeat of what she’s done again…and again…and again. (Though, I’d die to wear her couture dress — it was gorgeous!)

Finally, at the end, […]

You’ve probably already noticed that my posts are rather spotty — busy some days, then nothing for a week. This is likely to continue for the next couple of months. The first reason for this is obvious: I’m freakin’ busy. I’m moving in less than two weeks (hooray!), and at the […]

Yet another reason nursing should be encouraged*:
Weight Benefit Seen Even if Mothers Are Obese or Have Diabetes
Sept. 26, 2006 — Breastfed babies are less likely to grow into overweight children than those fed formula, even if their mothers are obese or have diabetes, research confirms.
Exclusively breastfed babies had roughly a 34% reduced risk of being […]

First: News
Nope, not mine this time — I literally mean “the news.” Jim Wallis (Sojourners) and Tony Perkins (Family Research Council) will be on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric this evening to discus the “Moral Direction of our Country.” I’m recording it, and if there’s anything worth talking (or ranting) about, […]

I recently wrote a post, Our nation is falling apart. As commenter Stevo has pointed out, there’s very little factual truth in the email I received as a forward (what, am I supposed to be surprised, or something?) and grumbled about in this space.
I still agree with my assessment of (and agreement with) the […]

Allison,
Happy one-month anniversary of our first email!
Love you,
M

Is that all it’s been? Seriously? Wow — that hardly seems possible.

Since I’m not in the mood to blog any of the deeper topics I’ve had in mind (work and worth, parenting and punishment as examples), I’m going to blatantly steal from a post by Orange at Bitch PhD:
Oprah Winfrey recommends keeping a “grateful journal” in which you “list five things that happened this day that […]

…do people survive engagements when they have six months to a year to plan a wedding?
Seriously, I’m loving having a short timeframe in which to do this — otherwise it could consume one’s life!

If you haven’t wandered over to Maya’s place lately, I told a semi-condensed version of the story (you know, the whole marriage thing) over there yesterday.

I haven’t yet explored the local public radio stations (but doubt I’ll ever find one I love as much as KRCC), but I found a decent commercial station while driving yesterday. When I’m north of Monument Hill in Colorado (ie, out of El Paso County), I listen to KBCO, a Clear Channel station out […]

This one came via email, courtesy my buddy Joel out in NC:
Welcome to the 2006 edition of getting to know your friends, AGAIN. What you are supposed to do is copy this entire e-mail and paste it on to a new e-mail that you’ll send. Change all the answers so they apply to you, and […]

I should mention: I think I’m going to really enjoy living here.
The cultural environment…well, let’s just say that there IS one. The weather will be pretty much no change at all. The people seem to be warm and friendly (I’ve already made one “mommy” acquaintance at a local park earlier while letting Maya […]
