I was a ball of nerves, anger and frustration. The man I was dating mentioned a former girlfriend’s name once and that she was his “first.” I discovered she was attending my school and I was obsessing over this woman – where was she, what did she look like, did she care she took his […]

In celebration of my upcoming exciting weekend, I got a brand new Canon EOS Rebel T2i. It shoots some mighty fancy photos AND HD video. Yes, a digital SLR camera that shoots video! Now should a unique opportunity present itself, I shall be ready with stills and HD video! Ha! Or ja. Depends on how […]

Another installment in my Positive Discipline Articles My buddy Kris brought up a great point in the comments to my last article, When Discipline Goes Bad.

Mary over at The Mommyologist has a great idea. We moms should feel sexy in our own skin regardless of how we look, our weight, the size of our baby rolls, the gray hairs, hairdo, lines, wrinkles and neglected negligees.

I’ve not been as on top of my blogging this week. So sorry to the two of you that visit every day. It’s been a bit busy, what with my planning for my assignment next week and Mr. Man needing me home an extra day to see to his every want and desire. But in […]

It’s official, I’ll be attending the Deadliest Catch’s CatchCon next weekend (May 1) to cover it for our own West Seattle Blog. I’m totally psyched on a couple of levels. First, as you may remember, I’ve got a guilty pleasure, which is watching the show. So I’m rather caught up on the latest details and […]

A Boob Man, Again

To be totally honest, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately. Every once in a while, something will happen that cheers me up, like my little adventure two weeks ago, then I slip back, almost immediately. I was really starting to worry about what the hell was going on. At the same time, I’ve noticed […]

The Big Dilemma

I’m standing on the edge of a cliff of decision and am scared to death to take the plunge. The big question is, do I leave the relative safety of a professional career to be a stay at home mom (SAHM)? On one hand, in this economy, it’s scary to consider going to a single […]
