Chemical Birth Control - Thoughts
Disclaimer #1 - This post is meant to be something of a clearinghouse for the jumble of thoughts that have been tangling up my brain's productivity for over a month now. In my dreams, I have tons of things linked here to back up and illustrate everything I mention. In reality, I have an (almost) 3 y/o and an (almost) 1 y/o, and it's already 10:45 ( Read more... ) -

How the Obama Campaign plans to get YOU to donate.
Right, so one time I decided to give the Obama campaign my email address in order to enter a chance to win at coffee with the President. Because, I thought, "What fun if I won!" And because the website told me I didn't have to actually donate in order to register a chance. Well, I suspect the website lied, because it never actually TOLD me I was ( Read more... ) -
Happy Mothers Day
Dear Mom,
This Mother's Day, I just want to make sure you know how much I appreciate you. You have always been, and still are, a huge part of my life, and I'm VERY thankful that I don't just get to enjoy you as a mother, but also as a grandmother.
~Thank you for all the times you woke up in the middle of the night for me. Especially the ones after ( Read more... ) -
Toddler busy bag swap
Dear people with small children,
I have been thinking, and I would really like to take part in a busy bag swap for 2-ish year olds. Since the only one I've found online fills up in hours (and is only hosted once or twice a year), I've decided to see if I can have my own right here in the Noog. Are you interested?

Toddler's Rules of Possession
Now that I have a 2 y/o in my life (with a younger brother who is so far unable to grab things away from him), this is VERY funny. Thank you Family Action Council of TN for emailing this to me....

New year, new attempts
Wow.
I knew it had been a long time since I posted something, but I hadn't realized that it's been almost 5 months. For the record, I wrote a LOT of posts in my head, but.... well.... life was more important than posting them (as it should be), so it didn't happen.
But, I did want to drop in and say that, despite not really caring about New Years, ( Read more... ) -
Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One
I got this book from the library about 2 weeks ago, because I have finally decided that I need to stop knowing almost nothing about economics. And, there was a great little article in World Mag a few issues ago about books to read to understand the housing bust and banking bailout, and what led up to it. So, with that impetus, I went looking for ( Read more... ) -
Jam! and The Cuteness
Whenever summer rolls around, with it's abundance of fruit, I always have grand, ethereal schemes to pick tons of said fruit, and turn it into enough jam to last me all year (and give as gifts). Of course, most of the time, said grand schemes turn into eaten fruit, rotted fruit (which I DID pick, but then never did anything with, except eventually ( Read more... ) -
exciting!
I managed to sell my old Nikon d50 on ebay a few weeks ago, and now that the window for returning it has lapsed, I can spend the extra money I earned (over the cost of my new Nikon d90). Well, I probably shouldn't say "spend", since it's already spent. I got 2 backup batteries, and a new 8 GB SD card (which means VERY long movies now.... only, ( Read more... )
