Overheard

I know. This is annoying and kind of a little rude — my once-a-week post asking you to go to another site to read my post.

Halloween 2007

C0mcast and I… we are on the verge of a break-up. I’m sure my account is flagged as PAIN IN THE ASS CUSTOMER. But what am I supposed to do without a connection? READ or something?

Halloween Costumes

I knew it would happen. I knew eventually I would have to let the kids choose their own Halloween costumes. I was hoping I could get away with one more year of parental control.

Me: Hello. My name is Janet. I’m a Facebook-aholic.Other Pathetic Addicts: Hello, Janet.
Linked In, MySpace… thou art so lame in comparison (okay, LinkedIn is cool if you are actually looking for a job and trying to be all serious or something).

Miscellaneous Parenting

I seem to have fooled everyone into thinking I’m some kind of rational being. Ha. Ha ha ha.
The truth is that I have quite a temper. I’ve always been pretty over-reactive and gotten into way too many unnecessary arguments. So what’s changed?
I’m too tired. Whether it’s to care or to put up a fight, I [...]

Questions

Today on Parenting: Questions/Quiz.
Life has been crazy lately. A trip, then work, then more work… I’m hoping to catch up to my Google Reader later this week. Anyway, my weekly post is up on Parenting with some questions:

ESPN Guide To Parenting

Today on Parenting: My ESPN Guide To Parenting.
Don’t let this fool you. I’m not a sports person. But I guess I’ve managed to retain some of it over the years, trying to date nerds but somehow ending up with athletes. Give me a whistle and a scoreboard and our house could be an ESPN reality [...]
