…is to lose that tooth!
Yep, The Girl has her very first loose tooth. She has been waiting for this to happen for quite some time, and she’s very excited. What’s funny is that this morning when she told us that it hurt when she bit things, “so it must be loose”, we completely blew it [...]

Before I tell you about my day, let me first say that I was not one of the crazy people waiting in lines at 4am, and I did not engage in any herd mentality. My heart goes out to those who lost loved ones today because of the stupid, greedy, disrespectful people who have truly [...]

Be forewarned. This is a series of rants. I just gotta get it out.
It seriously bugs me when I have a really slow day at work, and all I can think about is how much stuff I could be doing at home.
It really REALLY bugs me that The Girl has a new habit [...]
To The Boy

Dear Boy,
What can I say about this last year? You have grown so much, that I really don’t know where to start. I guess I’ll start in the beginning.
In January, you turned 3. At that time, you were still in diapers, and a lot of people couldn’t understand a lot [...]
To The Girl

Dear Girl,
A lot has happened in the past year. We moved to California. You have made friends, and lost frends. You lost a pet, and gained a new pet. You started a new school, and a new grade. You’ve auditioned for a commercial and got the part. [...]

Well, I sorta forgot about posting some links to good blogs this week, so I’ll do it today. But first, I want to share a few things that happened here over the past few days:

The Phone Call

I talked to The Girl’s teacher today. She called about a half hour ago or so. She was very apologetic and near tears. She said that they did not watch a video of the Northridge Quake, but that they had been talking about it. Then they went inside and she turned on the news to [...]

I got a phone call today from The Girl’s school. The very nice nurse called to tell me that The Girl felt like she was going to throw up. So, I called Brian, and he went to pick her up.
While I was waiting for Brian to call me to tell me if she was [...]
We Finally Did It…We Cut Cable

We unplugged the cable box at about this time last night. We have made it through our first day with no real problems. How did we do it? One Word: Hulu. Well, and the dvd player, but I wanna talk about Hulu.
I read a lot of personal finance blogs, and I’ve read quite a few [...]
