Confessions of a Parenting Book Junkie: Well, hello stranger!
http://parentbookjunkie.blogspot.com/2009/06/well-hello-stranger.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Well, hello stranger! While I wait for the iPhone 3.0 software to download, I thought I'd drop by and say hullo. Hullo! It's 11:00, and I really should be heading to bed, but things have been preventing reasonable bedtimes, and blog posts, for several weeks now. Here's a quick catch up. Mike and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary! A dermatologist asked me if I still had my uterus! My response: does the one back home in my other pants count? More on that next.

Confessions of a Parenting Book Junkie: Does the one in my other pants count?
http://parentbookjunkie.blogspot.com/2009/06/does-one-in-my-other-pants-count.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Does the one in my other pants count? Since my birthday, I've become good friends with my insurance company. It changed in January, and I thought I was on top of those changes, but sadly not so much. The allergist said "see a dermatologist. You're a grown woman for cryin' out loud! Allergies don't manifest like this in adults." I may have paraphrased that last part, but I'm pretty sure she kicked me out of her office with a 30 second comment such as this after a 90 minute wa...

Confessions of a Parenting Book Junkie: November 2009
http://parentbookjunkie.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 01, 2009. It's the worst blogger ever, Charlie Brown! Or rather, it's the worst digital scrapbooker ever, because y'all know I'm not doing this for any other reason (um, unless there's no one out there anymore and in that case, kids. when you read this years from now. I did my best! So, when we last left 'Confessions of a Parenting Book Junkie', you'll recall that it was Clay's birthday, and I was kvetching over the R2D2 cake from hell. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Confessions of a Parenting Book Junkie: October 2008
http://parentbookjunkie.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 12, 2008. Something fishy's going on. You'd think we would have learned, but we're attempting fish experiment # 2 (Electric Boogaloo! Well enough to perform in a recital. I figured it would take him until Christmas. Of course, I overestimated. Clay worked on it for one month, and he's performing it in next weekend's recital. So, we've started preparing for a fish house. Wednesday night, we went to a pet store recommended by a colleague. Goldmine! Have you been doing the math? I was concer...

Confessions of a Parenting Book Junkie: Our Disney Trip
http://parentbookjunkie.blogspot.com/2009/06/our-disney-trip.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2009. Way back at the beginning of March, we spent my precious annual leave hours for 2009 and drove to Orlando. We had to pay our respects to Double M, the Head Cheese himself. Mickey Mouse. And so it was on an early Saturday morning we left the house and travelled 8 hours to Charlotte, where my college roommate Rhonda and her family hosted us for the evening. I could have stayed the week there, but no, there was Magic to be had and so we left Sunday morning. And that is how our chea...

http://parentbookjunkie.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2008. I'm the worst mom blogger in the world. Clay started kindergarten a month ago and I haven't posted one word about it. You know what's weird about kindergarten? I'm looking forward to November just so I can attend a conference and find out how my kid's doing in public school. My brother's requested more posting. I shall comply! In other news. who's ready for the presidential election to be over? Can I get an AMEN? Wednesday, September 10, 2008. Do not be fooled by this boy.

Thursday, November 27, 2008. Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. A Thanksgiving scene from my living room. The Macy's parade is just starting, and this is the first float:. My boys observed the following:. Clay: "A car float! Drew: "Happy Lego Star Wars Day! Sunday, November 09, 2008. Wednesday, November 05, 2008. It's over. Amen. We have a president-elect and took a huge step forward as a country. Participate. You really can do whatever you set your mind to. Saturday, November 01, 2008. A couple of years ag...

Confessions of a Parenting Book Junkie: June 2009
http://parentbookjunkie.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 27, 2009. Today is Clay's 6th birthday, which is a fact that blows my mind because I'm certain that Mike and I just got married day before yesterday and I graduated from high school just last year. But, it's true. He's six. And in case you were counting, I'm not eighteen. After cake and presents, we went downtown to the Pirates game. It was a GORGEOUS evening, and afterwards there were fireworks. Pittsburgh's a town mad for fireworks, and the show was spectacular. Wednesday, June 17, 2009.

Confessions of a Parenting Book Junkie: April 2009
http://parentbookjunkie.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 12, 2009. While opening china cabinet drawers to see if the Easter Bunny left him an egg amongst my napkins, candle snuffer and cake knife, Clay wonders if the Easter Bunny would hide something inside our furniture. We tell him no. Me: "Because it's an invasion of privacy". Mike: "Because the Easter Bunny has paws and can't open the drawers". Over and over. For Baba as a girl, she didn't have to look far for Easter imagery. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Coming out of the closet | Here in the Pitts
https://freetothepeople.wordpress.com/2010/04/21/coming-out-of-the-closet
Here in the Pitts. There's no place like home. Laquo; You’re welcome. Coming out of the closet. April 21, 2010 by Dorothee. I’m going to admit something that may or may not cause you to think I am a horrible human being. I don’t hate The Ben. Did he act like a stupid teenager? Definitely. Does he need to get his dumb ass together and never ever ever ever place himself in such a foolish position again? Glass houses and stones and all that, folks. 3 The prior allegation, from Vegas chick who boasted to her...
