A Day in the Life of the Mrs. asks......What made you start your blog' I didn't even know what a blog was until I met Minivan Mom back in March/April 2006. She introduced me to the whole concept of blogging. I like reading her blog and found the whole blog world fascinating.

This is the bully's tactic,If I call you names and intimidate you then I am the bigger person.Sadly this is what is happening in the blog world as name calling, which used to pervade the comment section is now making its way into the post section as blow owners take part in the juvenile act.I suppose that says a lot about the quality of discourse in this country...
I Award You This AwardSOUTH CITY MUSINGS 11/18 9:39 pm
Texan Mama thought I was worthy of this smile award today, which was well timed because I have spent the last 2 days with foot in mouth, and not the disease that kids pick up at preschool. Just realizing oops, I said that, and now I need to go make amends. It is the way I sin. I do not steal things, I do not commit adultery. I don't tend to be jealous or greedy or miserly or any of that. I SAY things. And then later I realize, there, I did it again. So maybe I don't learn from my mistakes right away, but I am more aware of them.The person/blog who gets this award demonstrates the follow...

You can tell it's been raining here; I'm catching up on blogging ;) We've had 64mm since Sunday afternoon - full rainwater tanks and seeds sown are coming through. Lovely :)So, after enjoying the mist-shrouded garden and blog world for a few days, this post by Veggie Gnome inspired me to take the plunge into artichoke eating.They began as seedlings from the local nursery back in April.And grew to tower over us all, me included ;)Somewhere over the last few months my cooking mojo was lost in the crisper, so I was going to leave artichoke wrangling till next year, and just enjoy their flowers in...

Camera Strap Cozythe sky is pink 11/18 7:27 am
I had seen some cute camera strap cozies around blogworld, and loved them, but didn't want to take the time to figure it out. It just wasn't a priority.When I saw this tutorial link over on Whip-Up recently, I realized it was already figured out for me.This took minutes to do. From start to finish. Quick, quick, quick. I'm not sure if I actually used the exact tutorial or gist of it. When I asked Joe if this was "manly" enough, he said, "No." Oh well. I could have made it pink!

An Open Letter to The Person Who Attempted to Molest My ChildA Fe Me Page Dis Iyah 11/18 5:55 am
I am writing this on several of my blogs. On Sunday, November 18th, a sexual attempt was made towards my Autistic daughter. I say "attempt" because God is good and I intercepted this. Below is an open letter I am writing to the alleged perpetrator. This is my own way of healing. I am writing here today because I choose to allow the police to handle these matters, then decide to handle it myself. It would do my daughter no justice if I am in jail. To say those thoughts did not cross my mind would be saying a lie.My LetterDear Sick Person,I am writing this because I am upset. You took away not o...

So, Life in Waterloo is officially coming to an end in about 10 days (not that I'm counting!) As I'm moving on to new and exciting things, I decided that it was time to give the old blog a makeover.Near the beginning of this year, I stumbled on a blog by a girl named Nikki, found it to be quite interesting, and have continued to read it since then. Nikki blogs about her humanitarian trips to the Dominican Republic, adoption, HIV/AIDS, fair trade, her volunteer work, her sponsor children (and lots more!), and is passionate about making a difference in the lives of children around the world. ...

Mark Cuban Prays That He Doesn't Get Raped in PrisonMark Cuban, wealthy gadabout and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has been charged with insider training by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mark Cuban bankrolled the failed movie Redacted, which portrayed soldiers as rapists and monsters, and it was a colossal dud at the box office. He also had this to say about the movie at Blog World Expo 2007 [Vox Veterana]: “The pictures are what will stop the war. One only hopes that these images will get the public incensed enough to motivate their Congressmen to vote against this war," he said....
BetrayalTo Miss with Love 11/17 2:50 pm
I've had one hell of a weekend. I'm not sure whether my readers understand just how much risk bloggers in the public sector take. Do you know how we live with a constant niggling fear that one day, somehow, somewhere, someone is going to find us' Well, we do. And last week, finally, that fear was realised. On Friday, I open up an ordinary email from my Head. But it was no ordinary email. It contained the address of my blog.During the weekend, I went over in my mind a hundred times how I might say goodbye to all of you. I considered the bizarre complexities of blogging, how I have made friends ...

Dancing with Delilahnow entering momville 11/17 12:10 pm
My abdomen was still laced with surgical thread when I started dancing my baby around our apartment to Perry Como's Christmas album. (It was September, but I was so hormonal that only pleasant associations I had with Christmas music offered a momentary barrier to the swirling thoughts in my head.) Delilah would cry every time, I'd try to put her down so I'd dance her round and round from the kitchen to the living room. Besides, I was so tired of sitting still and nursing. Dancing was a way to stretch out my sore, swollen body and calm my bambina, at the same time. Those first few weeks of Deli...

I spend a lot of time and the two rewards that I have seen are the new friends I made, and my love of writing.When I first started out on this adventure, I didn't know the blog world was so saturated with people trying to save money, etc.I work a day job, work a PT job at home, shuttle kids around, and getting ready to start training for another PT work at home job.

FocusWaiting For The Shout 11/16 10:02 pm
So, maybe you have noticed my brief absence from the blog world (or maybe you could care less). Once again, I have been doing life and have had little time for blogging. I have so many thoughts running through my head right now I could never put them all into words. No time to blog sends one into a state of backlog. Unfortunately, the time I have to type this post is quite minimal as well, but hopefully I will be back in a day or two with some randomness (I know you can't wait). AND, hopefully I will be able to catch up on all your blogs at some point today......if anyone knows what to do abou...
