Dr. Laura Pisses Me Off. Her New Book, In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

I’ve never cared much for Dr. Laura, but when I saw her book at Costco the other week, it made my blood boil. I have not read the book, just a lot of articles and reviews about it, but basically, she believes women who work while their children are young are not good mothers…that they’ve made selfish [...]

Putting an End to Earth Day

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

It is Earth Day (how’s that for stating the obvious?), hence the cliche photo of the earth. Earth Day is a good reminder for being good to the planet and all but I feel it’s kinda a joke.  I don’t have anything against Earth Day. I love Mamasita Earth. I just hate holidays that make us celebrate something [...]

Fab Find: Anti-Theft Lunch Bags. Never Have Another Lunch Stolen From the Office Fridge Again

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

You’re being mindful of your expenses. You’ve stopped eating lunch out. You wake up a little earlier everyday to fix your turkey sandwich that you’ll take to work and store in the office refrigerator until lunchtime. It’s time to eat and you head to the break room, your mouth watering with the thought of your [...]

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Just when it seemed things had died down about whacko Nadya Suleman, she announces she is going to sign on to have a documentary filmed about her life and children. Her children will be filmed 6 times per year until they are 18! Way to sell out your freakin’ kids.  The show is supposedly being [...]

Inspiring Video: Susan Boyle on Britain’s Got Talent

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

If you haven’t seen this amazing video of Susan Boyle on Britain’s Got Talent, you MUST watch it now. A wonderful, touching reminder of why we should never, ever judge a book by its cover. I am still teary-eyed after watching this.   YouTube disabled the ability to embed this video, so please click on [...]

Treehugger Tuesday – Junk Mail Madness. Make It Stop!

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I would say that, on average, 80%-90% of my daily mail from the USPS is complete junk – catalogs, offer postcards, etc – all sorts of paper crap I did not ask to receive. I knew that sites existed where you could go sign up to no longer receive junkmail, but I’ve never signed up. [...]

Fab Finds Friday – Bulletin Bored No Longer. Three by Three Seattle Magnetic Bulletin Boards

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Oh, back when I started this blog I posted this post. In it I said I was embarking on a new project to renovate my office. Yeah, well, it’s about 9 months later and my office is exactly the same.  No, I take that back, it’s worse. As our home office and my everyday work [...]

Another WTF? Post: CDC Finds Rocket Fuel Chemical in Baby Formula

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

UGH!  Am reposting article I just read on Yahoo! News: ATLANTA – Traces of a chemical used in rocket fuel were found in samples of powdered baby formula, and could exceed what’s considered a safe dose for adults if mixed with water also contaminated with the ingredient, a government study has found. The study by [...]
