Annie's Rants: Not off to a good start, eh?
http://tasinda.blogspot.com/2015/01/not-off-to-good-start-eh.html
Monday, January 5, 2015. Not off to a good start, eh? Yeah, I'm supposed to be blogging every day. Oops. Let's see, what can I talk about? My daughter gave us a book to write in every morning, it has a question for the day and we do it for three years and compare our answers. Really enjoying doing this together. Well, thus ends the most boring blog ever. Stay tuned for hopefully more exciting prose coming from moi. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Annie and Daws Picasa Pics.

Annie's Rants: Kids
http://tasinda.blogspot.com/2015/01/kids.html
Tuesday, January 6, 2015. The grandkids are an endless source of delight and we're so fortunate that they live only 10 minutes away, all three of them. Lucy, the eldest, has hit that stage where she is beginning to think she knows it all. And she's only five and a half! Yesterday I watched both her and Vivian while Daddy had an appointment and Mommy had to work. She was watching the new "Annie" movie and kept griping every time anyone walked in front of the screen. "I can't see! Lucy, get down! Happily m...

Annie's Rants: April 2008
http://tasinda.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 30, 2008. So I racked my stupid knee against my stupid desk yesterday afternoon and today the knee is! Up I remember hitting it and saying "ow! Loudly but it's not like it bothered me after that. I went on with my day, no problem. Forgot I'd even done it at all. Until I woke up this morning and tried to, you know, walk. On the damn thing. I have to lose five million pounds in four weeks! This ain't helpin' matters! And he didn't mean the dress. Horrible out there. Just.awful. We're all t...

Annie's Rants: May 2008

Friday, May 16, 2008. Having A Wonderful Time, Wish You Were Here. This is a re-post from a blog entry I did on my first blog back in 2003. Thought I'd post some of those old blog entries I did just for grins. Enjoy! August 26th, 2003. Laura, my darling daughter, just got a new convertible a few weeks ago; a 2002 Chrysler Sebring. The day she bought it, she and I had a blast driving down to Petaluma, about a half-hour drive. And I thought.you know, that's fun! That is a fun car! Cat Stevens was playing l...

Annie's Rants: March 2009
http://tasinda.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 16, 2009. Just Another Day In Paradise. Every so often, my son Ryan calls me on his way out to a job to chit-chat over the phone. I don't flatter myself that he's calling so much because he finds his mom's company and wit so fabulously scintillating (although it's true, I'm pretty amazing) but it's more because he's driving and he's bored. Problem is, Ryan mostly calls me up to complain about all the bad drivers on the road. So, what are you doing, Mom? Oh, I'm driving up to-HEY! Okay, yeah...

Annie's Rants: March 2010

Sunday, March 7, 2010. One sentence reviews of the 2010 Academy Award Best Picture Nominees (WARNING! New Hotdog shows up in Iraq breaking all the rules, existing crew is hostile to New Hotdoggger, several obvious bait-and-switches by the Bad Guys, stereotypical scene of clueless liberal soldier gettin' what's comin' to 'im, war is bad, war changes people, all with nonstop nauseating shaky cam Cinéma vérité pretentiousness. Sandra Bullock and a cast of nobody else I know gets involved in the life of a yo...

Annie's Rants: January 2010
http://tasinda.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 20, 2010. You're Doing It Wrong. It's strange finding myself on the other side of parenting; the grandparenting side. I'm not raising the little one this time around; she has two awesome parents for that. When Laura was around 7 months, she choked on a piece of bacon that I hadn't cut up quite small enough, or maybe it was just the taste of fatty, processed pork that set her off. Grabbing her up out of her high chair, I gave her a little mini-baby-Heimlich maneuver. Then we both cried.

Friday, March 14, 2008. I've Been, er.Busy. Yeah. That's Right. I know, I open up a blog and then I don't update it frequently. Well, we've been busy. After all, I do have that book I'm writing that I never started. Hey, shut up; I have a title. That's the hardest part, as everyone knows. I'm working on the outline. In my head. While watching "American Idol". And "Survivor". And while reading the latest Stephanie Meyer novel. I said, shut up! Then there's my camera hobby I'm supposed to be utilizing.

Annie's Rants: Ten Books that Affected Me
http://tasinda.blogspot.com/2014/09/ten-books-that-affected-me.html
Sunday, September 14, 2014. Ten Books that Affected Me. So I did. Several times. Lies My Teacher Told Me - Long before we had Wikipedia and the unbelievable amount of information available online today about the world and human history, this book opened my eyes for the first time on how much information we'd been taught in school had been carefully filtered to make sure our culture was usually shown in the best light possible. Even if that meant changing or omitting facts. A real eye opener. Stranger In ...

Annie's Rants: 5k
http://tasinda.blogspot.com/2014/08/5k.html
Tuesday, August 26, 2014. I did my first 5k last Sunday. I don't know what got into me. I mean, I've never run in any kind of race before. But I figured if I entered an actual race and put up my hard-earned money to do it (I know, crazy, right? Who pays for torture like that? I'd have to force myself up out of bed every morning to avoid coming in dead last and making a fool of myself. Here are some newbie thoughts on running a 5k race:. I felt a bit better after that. Of all the nerve! Take THAT, you ano...
