Hip dysplasia update: Wait,

Wednesday, June 12th, 2002

Hip dysplasia update:
Wait, maybe I should start at the beginning. When DD#2 was born, she was a whopping 9lbs11oz. At her one week checkup, the pediatrician was concerned because her right hip clunked. He sent us to a pediatric orthopedist who did a sonogram of her hips and said that her right [...]

I get nervous when

Wednesday, June 12th, 2002

I get nervous when things go too well. I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Besides the fact that I keep getting outbid on eBay.
My husband woke me up this morning with the news that our lot, which has been on the market for a year and a half, has an [...]

Wednesday, June 12th, 2002

At this point I feel it’s important to mention that the beginning of Lion King brings me to tears. I don’t know why, I don’t know how, but every time I watch it I cry. And I’m not talking about a polite little tear slipping out, I’m talking about choking sobs and running [...]

Man, I stood in

Wednesday, June 12th, 2002

Man, I stood in line for hours today.
First was the whole post office thing. Then I showed up for the booksigning at about 6:30 only to be told that they sold out of books. I decided that I wasn’t going to stand in line forever just to get a signed bookplate, so I [...]

I find it interesting

Tuesday, June 11th, 2002

I find it interesting that I’ve gotten 2 hits today from Texas government domains looking for James Avery charm bracelets. Does this mean that Texas state employees are going to be issued jewelry now? Enquiring minds want to know.
I waited today at the post office to mail a letter. When I got [...]

Ok, look. I guess

Tuesday, June 11th, 2002

Ok, look. I guess I’d call myself generally conservative but mostly a libertarian. I don’t feel that the government has any business meddling in my body, my mind, or my private property. If pressed on voting Democrat vs. Republican, I can usually be counted on to vote with the GOP since I’m [...]

I just shaved my husband’s head with a #2 comb. He sure has come a long way from the guy he was when we first met, with hair down to his backside.

Keep track of journalist

Monday, June 10th, 2002

Keep track of journalist partisanship for the NYTimes, Wall St. Journal, and Washington Post.
Is anyone else but Mike Tyson happy he’s still alive after getting pummeled by Lewis?
Another reason to be glad not to be Australian.

Monday, June 10th, 2002

This just in, from the TMI department:
2 year old woke up dry from her nap yesterday. Peed in potty. Today she pooped in potty. Film at 11.
I have been having really vivid and somewhat disturbing dreams lately. I’m anxiously awaiting the anonymous blog so that I may contribute.
What the hell kind [...]
