Wednesday, August 31st, 2005

So I was in ULTA this weekend looking for some hair products and I saw a sign that said “Sunday Special: Free Haircut with any coloring service.” I thought – wow – what a deal. I needed some highlights and a trim and my regular hair designer has quit doing hair unfortunately (she’s cut my [...]

My advice…don't bother paying for professional pest control

Saturday, August 27th, 2005

Early last year, when Molly was still a baby and crawling everywhere, Peter spotted a fairly large scorpion in the middle of our living room. (I never saw it). So Peter killed it and immediately called Orkin to set up service so no more scorpions could pose a threat to our precious baby. (We also [...]

One reason to not talk on the phone in the bathroom

Thursday, August 25th, 2005

This could happen to you. (but this didn’t happen to me!!)
I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: “Hi, how are you?”
I’m not the type to start a conversation in the restroom but I don’t know what got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassed, “Doin’ just [...]

Um, yeah…I'm like busy and stuff

Wednesday, August 10th, 2005

That pretty much sums up everything right now. I’ve been working late every night to wrap up our View magazine at work. We have one more all-nighter and then we should be good to go next week. And life will hopefully get better. And I’m trying to plan Molly’s birthday party which may end up [...]

I (heart) eBay

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005

Oh yeah, I love eBay. I found EVERYTHING for Molly’s birthday – plates, cups, napkins, streamers, balloons, stickers, forks, tablecloth and more for $23.50 plus shipping. Rock and roll. We’re doing a Dora birthday party this year since she absolutely LOVES Dora. In fact, she might be raised by Dora as much time as she [...]
