The good news is there’s apparently nothing wrong with my colon. So all the fasting and pain associated with drinking 64 ounces of Gatorade laced with 14 doses of laxative to down 4 laxative pills, was basically just medical torture. Sure, I guess since it ruled something out, it did help in some way. But [...]

Lamest toy ever
This will be a quicky since I have promised my husband full computer access to play with his new iPod. It’s only fair seeing as how last night I monopolized it grading research papers. Not as fun as exploring the wonders of a new iPod, but a necessary evil of my life.
Speaking of toys, yesterday [...]

Back on the treadmill, again
So, as part of a weekend of reckless spending, I bought myself another treadmill. I say another because I currently have a treadmill…or more accurately, what once was a treadmill, sitting in my newly refinished basement. In an attempt to get the old one downstairs, my husband took it apart. Only to find out that [...]

They joys of being adequate
We made AYP this year. Sigh (the big relieved kind). For those of you not familiar with every acronym out there, AYP stands for adequate yearly progress. It is part of No Child Left Behind, and therefore, the bane of my existance.
Although AYP doesn’t exactly impact me directly, my school hasn’t made the cut off [...]

I’m getting too old for this sh*t
I am not now, nor have I ever been what you might call athletic. Despite being pretty tall, much to my father’s dismay, I was not born with anything resembling coordination. During my freshmen year of college, I stepped off a curb on my way to work (at the dinning hall across the street) and [...]

Teeny, tiny, tax boo-boo
I think I may have made a little, teeny mistake with my taxes. I’m really hoping the federal government (and the state one for that matter), won’t mind too much. I don’t think it’s the kind of mistake that’s going to land me in the clink like Al Capone. It’s not tax evasion. More of [...]

Sleep Nirvana
Tonight my years of tossing and turning all night end. No longer will I be woken up when my husband drops in to bed hours after I have been visited by the sandman. My mornings of waking up with some sort of krick in my neck will be mere memories. Tonight, I enter sleep nirvana.
Or [...]

The colonoscopy blues
Things I am currently allowed to eat:
-Jell-O (plain, without fruit–no red or purple)–I’ve had two snack containers of orange so far
-Coffee or tea without milk or cream
-Broth (2 cups of chicken broth)
-Soda, Kool-aid, Lemonade, Apple Juice (about 36 ounces of real soda)
-Popsicles
-Hard candy
Oh, and the best part of it all: a 64 ounce container of [...]

New additions to the family
I got to meet my new cousins yesterday. It was really pretty exciting. I’ve seen pictures and had about a hundred conversations about them, even heard them talking in the background, but yesterday, I got to actually play with them and even hold one of them. For once my son didn’t freak out at the [...]
