Originally this blog was going to be about adjusting to real life again and not being a stay at home mom. As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve been taking a class in order to renew my license and have had to leave my son with various babysitters all week, which while good practice for the fall, [...]

Higher education=highway robbery
Higher education is a real racket. I went to college, as a many people do, to learn as much as I could in order to get a good job. I paid Ball State University somewhere in the ballpark of $20,000 for my education and housing over the course of the 4 ½ years I was [...]

Staying in the lines, not just for kindergarteners
When did driver’s ed classes stop teaching people what those little yellow and white lines on the road mean? I know it’s been a few years since I’ve taken the class myself, but I distinctly remember going over the various forms lines on the road can take, and also the simple procedures needed to follow [...]

Taco Hut and Pizza Bell…a great end to a wedding
Once again I found myself eating dinner way too late. I was out with my friends (my baby was at home sleeping while my in-laws and husband babysat…yeah) and we all realized we hadn’t eaten in hours and were starving. We debated the merits of pizza vs. tacos for what seemed like an eternity before [...]

A dream Freud would probably love to interpret
Last night I had a strange dream. It was Saturday and I was sitting on the couch with Richard flipping through the channels, looking for something on the TV. It was twenty ‘til two and nothing was on. I know this doesn’t sound strange at all, but rather mundane. I have a lot of these [...]

Heartbreak, Heartache and everything in between
Like all true writers, I am no stranger to heartache. It’s cliché, I know, but I’ve had my heart broken twice in my life. Once when I was 16 and once when I was 18. Those ages may surprise my nearest and dearest. I’m sure they were expecting to see a slightly higher number. The [...]

The movies led me astray
Most of my life I’ve had a pretty warped idea of what love is. For once I don’t blame my parents, even though they were poor examples. I blame movies. Ever since I was old enough to understand the concept of love, I’ve been devouring impossible love stories. I think it really started the summer [...]

My latest addiction
So I gave in and joined the myspace revolution. It’s not that I have anything against myspace, per say, it’s just that I have dial up at home and the site is banned at work, so the time required to get a really great page going, chat with friends and keep a blog up never [...]

The Holy Grail of hair care
I’ll warn you straight off, this one might get a little girly.
Ever since I was old enough to actually care what my hair looked like, I have been on the quest for great hair. I know this is an attainable goal, because I see magazines plastered with girls who have really amazing hair. Each [...]

Mammograms, books and dog food, oh my!
The baby is asleep! For those of you who don’t yet have kids, this may probably is not the exaltation it is around this household. We celebrate any daytime napping around with fiestas, granted, very quiet ones accompanied by icy death glares if someone makes a noise, but fiestas none the less. So far today [...]
