Monday, November 16, 2009. The Chicken or the Egg? Is it just me or does every women's magazine from Parents and Family Circle to Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan feature the same articles over and over again? They all fall into 8 basic categories. 1 The Five Minute Health or Beauty Tips. This is the part of the magazine that shares such valuable nuggets as: "Don't have time to work out? Lug out that vacuum and give your carpets a good cleaning! Also, "We all want to take care of our skin, but who has time?

Wednesday, October 27, 2010. Watching Back to the Future. On the big screen for the FIRST TIME was amazing! I was only seven when the movie premiered- and although I watched it hundreds of times in subsequent years and saw the sequels in theaters, I have never seen the movie so clearly, and in such detail. It really is a great story, and meticulously told. It took them five months to finish the script, and it's easy to see why it took them so long. It's because the script is so well written! Also sets it...

Sunday, July 05, 2009. Since last year's "aha" moment when Owen came face to face with his own mortality. Owen and Stewart's knowledge of death has grown in leaps and bounds. They were discussing Michael Jackson's heart attack at the kitchen table on Thursday. Let's listen in:. Owen: He had a heart attack. That's when your heart stops working. Everybody dies. Everybody in the whole Earth. What will you do with me when I die Stewie? Thinking). Ugh, what if you just put me in the dump? Posted by Sarah Ford.

Thursday, January 17, 2013. Last month, I read two very different books about migration in the U.S. I didn't intend to do so; it happened kind of accidentally, but they complement each other well. Both are fictionalized accounts of real historical events and both feature major Westward migrations, so I thought it might be interesting to contrast them. One is the relatively unknown A Sudden Country. By Karen Fisher; the other is the cultural juggernaut The Grapes of Wrath. I read A Sudden Country. How did...

Sunday, October 25, 2009. Went to see Where the Wild Things A. Re with Kyle and the boys. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it. But KW is the only Wild Thing who is even remotely likeable. The other Wild Things are so obnoxious and self-centered. They fight, and argue, snap at each other and expect Max to fix all of their problems for them, and when he doesn't, they threaten to eat him! Living with them looks like a horrible nightmare! Than of someplace a wild young boy would dream of going. To me, ...

Finifrock.com: Toy Story 3 vs. The Brave Little Toaster
http://www.finifrock.com/2015/08/toy-story-3-vs-brave-little-toaster.html
Sunday, August 02, 2015. Toy Story 3 vs. The Brave Little Toaster. I think I am the only one in the world who doesn't love Toy Story 3. According to IMDB's movie rankings, Toy Story 3. Is actually rated HIGHER than Toy Story. And Toy Story 2. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 99%. And multiple people have told me that the conclusion left them sobbing. The conclusion of Toy Story 3. Seemed a shade too The Return of the King. And then I realized it was because I HAD seen it all before! The Brave Little Toaster.

If not, you probably won't get it). Moms sometimes tell me that they are turning into their own mothers. Usually this realization is brought on by certain words coming out of their mouths that sound all too familiar- words like “If you don’t stop crying, I’ll give you something to cry about! But it was not until today when I...

Friday, February 12, 2010. I Want to Be a Nurse. No, not literally. I don't want to be a nurse. I actually kind of get woozy when I think about blood draws. But I was talking to my friend Amy, who had just watched her sister Emily give birth (to a gorgeous little girl, by the way). She was talking about how Emily was in labor for SO long that the doctors wanted to give her a C-section, but the nurse just kept pushing Emily to keep going, not give up, and deliver the baby naturally (which she did! I'm a f...
