Thirteen Reasons my Daughter is Cute…
 I keep a little journal for Maya, and in it, I’ve been writing off and on since she was little…memories of times we have together, updates, cute things, etc. I looked at it the other night and I realized it’s been a LONG time since I wrote in it. Like maybe a couple of years, except without the maybe.  I was looking back, and I found some very cute things that Maya said or did when she was very small…she still says and does very cute things, but since she’s older now, she might not appreciate me sharing them now. 🙂 So, 13 cute things Maya said or did when she…

Sunday Funnies
One for Miss Cherry, because she gave Maya her vintage “My Pretty Pony” collection, so I thought she might have a laugh at this: [youtube]NEZ5kNZf-7I[/youtube] And one for Autumn’s Mom, and maybe LD as well, because of their Coach addiction: Click the comic to see it larger…

I’m either in denial, or I’m the most boring person EVER…
You Are 14% Borderline Your personality isn’t borderline anything. You’re happy, stable, content, together… ever consider being a therapist? Do You Have a Borderline Personality? I saw this over at Wendy’s blog, and thought I would play. Am I kidding myself, or am I really that well adjusted? And if I am that adjusted, why aren’t I more successful in my life? And really, what is successful anyway? How would I measure that? Why am I here? Why do I take these tests? What was I thinking? Clearly, I’m kidding myself.

Thirteen Memes…
I was recently tagged for two memes that I’ve already done, and I don’t think I could go through with doing them again, as much as I do love me a good meme. So, I thought, why not milk this for a Thursday Thirteen, another type of meme….I mean, really, why not. So, here you go, Thirteen Memes I’ve completed. Wendy and Curiosity Killer, the first two are the ones you tagged me for: Five Things You May Not Know About Me – Okay, Wendy, yours was 6 things, so here’s one more: I confess so much to you people, that there is nothing left to put here. That’s something…

Goodbye
Goodbye to those I loved, lost one sad spring… My Granddad, whom I never had the chance to meet… My dog, whom I cherished… My Grandpa, who spoiled me and who I loved utterly… Spring of ’88, a time of falling in love, while at the same time, saying goodbye, so sadly, over and over again. This is my attempt at the Sunday Scribblings challenge.

Testing a Theory Here…
If I have nothing to say, nothing to share on my bloggy blog today, no secrets or stories or even a meme or a recipe, will the world end? If Saturday fails to arrive, you know who to blame.

What’s With All of the Stupid Spam?
Just looking at my spam filter, and it caught 355 spam comments. Since YESTERDAY, when there were over 200. That’s friggin INSANE. I don’t know how they found me or whatever, but it’s bad. I have a few ideas of what posts attracted them, but I don’t want to mention them, for fear of attracting even MORE. I’ll give you a hint. Nothing that interesting, just something about managing p*a*i*n in the noggin. I get a lot of spam now for pharmaceuticals. Ugh.

Blog For Choice Day
Today is the second annual Blog For Choice Day. I participated last year as well, and I’ve been trying to think of what I could say that would be any different than what I said then. When I clicked the link from Brilliant at Breakfast to go over to the hosting website for Blog For Choice Day, it said the topic is: Why You’re Pro Choice. So…why am I pro choice…I don’t want to be glib here. I want to be thoughtful, and give meaningful answers, so that those who disagree with me may understand my point of view, those who agree with me may understand my point of view,…

Measuring Success
I’ve been thinking about goals lately. I’m the kind of person who works well with goals, as long as they are easily identifiable and quantifiable, and also fairly attainable. In the morning when I wake up, I start making a mental list, a list of things that I need to get done. Then I compartmentalize them into blocks of time – get up, brush teeth, check email, read a few blogs. Check work email, answer any that are pressing. Shower, get dressed. Wake Maya, dry my hair, make the bed, feed the dog, make Maya’s lunch, make breakfast, get out the door by 7:30, walk dog while taking Maya to…

10 Things I Love That Begin With The Letter “M”….and 10 that I don’t…
Lotus was assigned “B” by Heather, and then Lotus assigned me the letter “M”. So, here we go, Ten Things I Love That Begin With “M”. And, because my brain just works this way, 10 things that I don’t love, that also start with an “M”. Maya – Of course, she’s my baby, and my very favorite “M” of all. Mondays – Duh. Marriage – Of course, it helps that I married Py. If I had a crappy marriage, this wouldn’t make it on my list. But happily, it’s there. Muscrat Love – Duh again. Moms – I’m a mom, and it’s the greatest thing ever. My mom is a…
