AdoptionLand on ALLTOP! TY Guy Kawasaki!

  I’m holding this as a draft until we are really there….( editted to add.. oh heck! I cannot wait, plus I need some suggestions, so just read down) But I am so excited, I can’t help but begin this post! I just opened my email this am and I had an email from Guy Kawasaki. Now that alone is pretty exciting….he is considered one of the “Blogging Gods”. In…


Sadly, another mom..

I’m at work. I’m looking up blogs. I’m making my list as usual. I am on one list and marking down which ones we have already contacted, so I don’t drive people crazy. AS I hit these blogs to change their color on my Excel spread sheets, the links open on my other monitor. I don’t need to look at them, but sometimes, they suck me in. Anyhoo, Boobs, Injuries…

Eventually, I lost both the battle, the clicker and lost the light sleeping that…


Broke Arm Update:Took a shower today!!

I bet you take for granted that small luxury, but I have been resigned to tepid sponge baths and lukewarm shallow tubs for the last three months after the Great Arm Break. I manage to take care of business, but it is exhausting, slow going, and I never quite feel so fresh. But last night, Rye and I took off the bulky fiberglass cast. Prompted by our very dwindling financial…
