How were your holidays?  Ours were great.  Filled with family and fun and presents.

Now I am writing this post about nothing which serves the sole purpose of moving my last post down a notch.  I’m tired of looking at the title “The one where I almost commit homicide and suicide” it’s just not right, and frankly it freaks me out every time I look at it in big bold letters.

The problem is I don’t have anything to write about today ...

For some reason (in my dream) I can’t remember why, but for some reason I was supposed to “off” both myself and my baby girl.  I know. Disturbing.  Like I said, I’m not entirely sure why I was supposed to do this but I’m gonna blame this twisted plot on too much Stephanie Meyer.  So, in my dream I ordered a bomb that was delivered in the mail, when it came all I had to do was add water and then hit it with a baseball ...

The title of this post was inspired by my dear Eva ...

What I wanted to share with you are all the amazing abilities of Google that I never knew about before!

Read this first...

I realize that you could call me a hypocrite right now since we did take Eva to the circus a couple of months ago and she LOVED it.  I had never been to the circus before because I knew that their treatment of the animals was most likely questionable but this time we were offered free tickets so I thought “why not”?  When we arrived I immediately spotted the protesters handing out fact sheets on ...

What is it with people and there frickin’ selfishness!!!  I’m so mad right now I could scream.

I just wish I could somehow make them read this but I know they probably wouldn’t care anyway.  Just get over yourselves already.  It’s not about YOU!  It’s about your children.

Sorry, I really can’t believe I’m talking about this one here, but after seeing the latest two headlines I just ...

I personally love it. Thanks hunny! Hopefully this will inspire me to do more blog posts.

Actually tomorrow I will have a product review on a really cool purse and a giveaway for one lucky reader, so don’t miss that.

I apologize for being MIA lately. We’ve been busy going to California and I started school so that is taking some adjustment. However, I’m not working so I should have plenty of time to update this site regularly. No excuses!
