A New Blogger

My friend, Kristina became a blogger today.  I can not post the name of her blog yet because it is still a work in progress but I think the blogging world will be impressed… I know I am.   I will update this post as soon as she lets me add her URL to my blogroll.

I’d Like to Thank the Academy

I’m sitting here watching the Academy Awards and -wow- Clive Owen is a masterpiece.  He’s not nominated but still looked spectacular presenting for Best Foreign Language Film… wait gotta go, George Clooney is entering stage left.

Child Labor is the Answer

Since Lakyn is grounded I (well really, she,but she doesn’t see it that way) has disappointed her best friend Madison.  A little background here… Madison was just in a very serious sledding accident and really is lucky to be alive (I mean it, she was in a coma).  She is still under the care of a [...]

LOST in the Middle

Okay so it is “LOST” night so I feel compelled to talk about the ‘latest’ on the best show on television.  Lost creator Damon Lindelof says that the show is at it’s midpoint so that means that we won’t get answers to some serious questions until Lainey is nearly 5 years old and Lakyn is [...]

Recovery

Well, Maximus is recovering from his eye surgery and has to wear an Elizabethan Collar.  Poor baby.  He is such a good dog and looks at me like he is being punished.  Speaking of being punished… Lakyn is grounded for the first time in her decade long life.  During her homework meltdown she had an ‘unacceptable tone of [...]

Drama

My friend Jane emailed that she and her husband just found out they are having a baby girl.  As I am reading this wonderful news, my 10-year-old Drama Queen is having a meltdown over the amount of homework she has been given today.  Of course, I sent Jane and Rob congrats and well wishes, but as I am typing I am [...]

13 Pounds!

Holy Schnickies! I took Maximus to the vet today to have his teeth cleaned and get his eyes done (his first plastic surgery… actually he has a little cyst on his eyelid… ICKY). Anywho, just like when we go to the docs office, Maximus had to go through the humility of climbing upon [...]

Little Children

Since my favorite place is the library it would make sense that I read alot.  My latest book is Little Children by Tom Perrotta.  It is definitely a must read.  Perrotta is a fantastic writer who keeps you hanging with each new character introduced.  I haven’t seen the movie yet but I’m curious since both [...]

My Sweetheart

So we’re snowed in on Valentine’s Day and had to cancel our plans for dinner at the Medallion Country Club with the Marables.  So instead Jay and I played with the girls at home and Jay made me a surprise sandwich….Of course he poured me a glass of wine to go with this masterpiece.   I [...]

School’s Out, School’s Out!

For the 2nd week in a row, Central Ohio has been hit by a snowstorm… only this time we have freezing rain!  Lakyn’s school (and every other district) is closed today and likely will be tomorrow.  She is climbing the walls with boredom at this point…. we can’t even go to my favorite place in [...]
