This is what I get for mocking the panic.
Take this pretty picture and use it to replace the anxiety I’m feeling over the fact that our schools are cancelled (Daycare included) for the rest of the week due to two “probable” swine flu cases in our county. Of course, I’m more anxious because I’m stuck at home those two days, not at the risk of the flu. But that’s because I’m whatever the opposite of hypochondriac is…I go into denial about illness. Inevitably, when I finally... Read More
Another Quickie.
Lighthearted story for the day as I’ve overslept for the 3rd day in a row and have absolutely zero minutes to blog. (Evidently it takes a 33-year old woman a lot longer to catch up on sleep than it did the 23-year old version of the same woman.)

I finally took myself to the doctor yesterday after two sleepless nights of coughing.... Read More
Entertaining Bullets About Entertainment

Speaking of Twilight, Catherine Hardwicke’s Director’s Notebook was AWESOME. Not only is it awesome if you loved the movie like I did, but if you just find the behind-the-scenes stuff... Read More
But On A Funnier Note…
I do have a funny story! That’s not about death or grief! Evidently NikkiZ’s class thinks they’re cute when they answer role call with the word “President” instead of “Present.” Yesterday her teacher was calling roll and the kids started saying, “President!” Except for my Lefty McLiberal Daughter. What did she say? She said, “President Obama!” Shocking the heck out of the teacher. I was just surprised she didn’t... Read More
