I should probably set some goals for ‘08, huh?

It’s the end of January, I do believe I should speak to The Goals.

A carryover from ‘07 – Get my GPA up. The F in management dinged me a good one. Lesson: If you’ve already been a manager, learning about management concepts is going to make you laugh your ass [...]

Does this nightgown make me look old?

Actually, it’s not the nightgown in and of itself. It’s the fact that it’s 7PM and I’m wearing it.

All I need is a can of snuff and a creaky rockin’ chair.

Daniel is sitting next to me, asking me to read the Science Encyclopedia to him. So far I’ve been ale to read a paragraph [...]

Big, Bigger, Biggest

Lorelle issued a Blog Challenge: Blog About Being Big – aka Successful. Specifically, to write about a moment when I felt “big”, or to write “what it would look like if I were big”.

When I first read her post yesterday, I was all prepared to pick and choose between conquering anxiety attacks, restarting college [...]

Randomness

I’ve been working a LOT more hours (much more than I expected) since I promoted. The boys are (predictably) more clingy.

I was hoping the Sneaky Chef thing would be more of a series than it actually is. I do believe the people able to sneak this stuff past their kids are [...]

Round 1 goes to Daniel.

This morning I made the Sneaky Chef’s Extra Sneaky Chocolate Breakfast Ice Cream. The texture was perfect, the recipe as written was downright awful. With only 1/2 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to color an entire 1/4 avocado and a frozen banana, the result looked as if it belonged in a diaper, not [...]

Things my kids won’t know

I got a bit of blogspiration from Play at Home Mom’s post, listing things her babies won’t know. My list includes:

The Original Unedited Looney Tunes cartoons on Saturday mornings.
Dot Matrix printers
Pong being THE video game
Vinyl albums
Pre-Elmo Sesame Street (oh how that rodent has ruined the show)
the Neighborhood Grocery
Wandering outdoors from sunup to [...]

Sneaking Around Daniel: Introduction

So I’ve read, looked through, and otherwise educated myself as to the ways of being a Sneaky Chef. The plan is simple: to keep the foods he already eats. Toward that end, we’re going to try her Quick Fix for Boxed Mac and Cheese, Quick Fix for instant pudding, the Brainy [...]

America’s Most Wired Cities: Raleigh, NC??!!??

Read the Forbes.com article here.

Raleigh is #3 on their list, which is calculated by:

the percentage of Internet users with high-speed access, the range of service providers within a city and the availability of public wireless hot spots.

The article is careful to point out the constantly-shifting nature of the data they used and just exactly how….strange…it [...]

Our First Woman Mayor

Hidden at the bottom of the Winston-Salem Journal’s Regional Briefs: Dawn Morgan has been selected to be Kernersville’s first woman mayor. She replaces Curtis Swisher, who resigned as mayor on January 10 to become our town manager.

Dawn contributes (contributed?) an editorial column to the Kernersville News. Hopefully she’ll keep writing a column [...]
