Necessary Waste?

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

In reading this guy’s blog, I feel like I missed out on so much with my baby, and I’m not sure if it’s my fault.
I mean, my mom dying the same time he was born was huge, and he was a difficult baby.  I just didn’t enjoy him much.  Really, if I’m honest, I’ve only [...]

Prepare to be sheepish

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

Click this link:  www.MattLogelin.com.
After you’ve been sucked in and read for four hours, I guarantee that you will feel extremely sheepish that you have ever complained about your crappy day.
This is a new dad who lost his young, vibrant wife to a pulmonary embolism just one day after their baby’s C-section birth.  She never even [...]

Life is just so much better when . . .

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

I run my four miles.
Really, why is it so hard to stick to something that clearly feels great in every way?  I’ve said it before, there hasn’t been one single time in my entire life that I’ve worked out and then thought, gee, I wish I hadn’t done that.  Never.  It is the guaranteed buzz.  [...]

Patti’s Pretty Peeved, People!

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

So I’m driving in to work this morning, listening to our local talk radio show, Beth and Bill on KEZ 99.9, when what to my incredulous ears should I hear but the dulcit tones of Patti LuPone!
Actually, not so dulcit.
Actually, she was pretty pissed off.
After I recovered from my amazement that Patti’s voice had actually [...]

Inauguration

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

When I got into work today, the security guard was beside herself with excitement.  As I buzzed myself in, she gushed, “What an amazing day!  Isn’t this just incredible!?”
I told her how on my drive in, I had heard Beyonce singing “At Last,” with sound bites in the background from this year’s campaign and election, [...]

Where the Elite Meet

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

  
The first is a picture of me - again, not too flattering, since I’m sporting the 3-D glasses right before My Bloody Valentine - 3D started.  It was like going back to the 80’s.  Ohh, better times, those olden golden days!  It was a fun flick.  
The second picture is Conrad’s view from his seats [...]

My old friend, Fear

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

I’m up in the middle of the night with a racing head.  I hate that.
Today my coworker asked me if I’d done the treadmill at lunch.  Which I’ve been trying, somewhat hard, to do regularly.  I had, though I’d only done it for about twenty minutes.  Still, it’s better than nothing.
“Did you run?” he asked.
“No,” [...]

Flying High

Friday, January 16th, 2009

It is a festivus time right now in our great city of Phoenix, as the Arizona Cardinals prepare to play on Sunday for a chance at the Super Bowl.  Even I find myself a little bit interested in the outcome, whereas normally I could care less, despite my husband’s deep fanaticism.
Conrad will be going to [...]

The Bachel-

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

So yesterday, the ONE thing that got me through the day was the fact that THE BACHELOR would be on that night.
Yes, I’m pathetic.  And???
So I’m happily watching, and 3/4 of the way through, it cuts off.  Why?  Because it went longer than scheduled and my DVR cut it off at the designated time.
Damnit!!!
Whatever.  I [...]
