Stop the vote
Did everyone see this?
Vote-Scam Fliers Target Black Neighborhoods"Here in Philadelphia, an anonymous flier was distributed at colleges and poor neighborhoods saying that if you show up to vote, officials will be laying in wait for anyone with a foreclosure, parking tickets, or a warrant. I wonder who could be behind such an insidious flier? Let's ( Read more... ) -
Which television series are good?
It is very common for us to relax at the end of the day around here by watching a movie. But movies are long when one is tired, so today I began thinking about television shows. The kids and I, for example, watch episodes of Lost on my computer sometimes. I thought Micah and I might want to do similarly. But we don't really watch tv, so my ( Read more... ) -
Product Testing
I've always loved doing surveys but I've done more than ever (online) lately as a hobby (yes, my life has become that dull) as well as for income. Through all these years, however, I'd only been invited to do one product testing--until now. It started with two bottles of Catalina dressing. While I was testing those I received a package of baby ( Read more... ) -
Oh, cool.
I am glad to know the law in Missouri has already been tested, leaving less loopholes such as arguing "I didn't intend to expose them" and "HIV isn't a deadly disease". I'm sure he'll find his own, though. He's had plenty of time to think about it.

I have hope
I've been very slow to politics. Although I'm interested in almost every topic under the sun, politics was always one that couldn't keep my attention. I wished to be an informed and active citizen but wasn't ( Read more... ) -
Micah should "totally" audition!
OMG! Micah said some girls approached him last night and said he should totally audition for American Idol and that they were coming through town soon. I just checked that information and they're right!! About auditions being held in Kansas City soon, I mean, but the kids and I have been enthusiastically urging Micah to audition all this AI ( Read more... ) -
No, really-- best ever.
Another "I have the best husband in the world" post, but I'm not feeling well so I'll keep it factual:

A Good Night's Sleep Works Wonders
Note to self: Go ahead and feel like a fuddy-duddy. (You should probably feel like one for using that word anyway). Feel ridiculous over your adamance, but get thyself to bed on time. Remember that whatever you're about to do for the next few minutes is not worth the feeling of misery you'll meet in the morning.
This morning feels good. Oh ( Read more... ) -
Review: Tate Stevens' debut album
It is important, before I continue, that you know that there is a long list of reasons why I am inclined to say this album is terrible: There's deep anger for the times I feel Micah put this band before his family, bitterness over what this project has cost us, indignation over the use of three other guitarists, grievances I cling to (real and ( Read more... ) -
Motivation for Chores
It's lonely around here this morning. My kids (oldest kids?) left last night with their dad for a vacation; they're visiting my dad in Ohio. That's right--my ex-husband, his girlfriend, her son, and my children are visiting my father. I wouldn't say I'm angry, but I am a little sad and jealous because Dad will be spoiling them all--trips to ( Read more... )
