I am a promise
Tuesday, January 31st, 2006Click here to read a mildly inappropriate song very cutely belted out by my daughter at dinner tonight. (Needless to say, Marc and I were laughing uncontrollably by the end.)
Dear Marc: An Open Apology to My Husband
Tuesday, January 31st, 2006Dear Marc,
I’m sorry for leaving Madeline with a dirty diaper for you to change when she was a baby if she pooped within 10 minutes of you getting off work. It was unfair to you. It was cruel to our poor child’s bum. And it proved that I was (and continue to be) just downright [...]
Being Still
Tuesday, January 31st, 2006I think it would be fair to say that my generation was the first to really live on television. I was born in 1979 and the sit-com really got going around then, did it not? I grew up watching The Cosby Show, The Facts of Life, Family Ties, Growing Pains, Who’s the Boss?, Night Court, [...]
The Other
Monday, January 30th, 2006The Other. Other places we could be. Other things we could be doing. Other people to be with. Other options to have. Other decisions to have made. Other houses. Other financial situations. Other ages. Other bodies or skin colours or hair styles. Other pants.
When I was a teenager I thought I was fat (not “overweight” [...]
Things I'd like to strike from our children's home movies
Saturday, January 28th, 2006Me singing “what’s love got to do with it” a little too “into it” to Madeline when she was 6 weeks old, trying to get her to smile.
That and a good half hour of her staring at the camera on several different occasions when she was that age, waiting for her to make little noises.
(Just working [...]
Four Things
Saturday, January 28th, 2006I tagged Linea about weird things and she tagged me back tonight. She said she was pretty “not weird”. And I may have the most unadventurous life around. I think I may keep some of her answers…
Four jobs I’ve had:1. Clerk at my mom’s Christian bookstore2. Legal assistant3. TA for a Philosophy 100 [...]
Ever been so bored with the internet…
Wednesday, January 25th, 2006that you just sit there, staring, hitting send/receive in your email program until you get a message?
Stephen Harper Hates Eastern Canada

I mean… he made them stay up until 2 in the morning to watch his acceptance speech!?!
Think before you vote.
Sunday, January 22nd, 2006What can your run of the mill Christians really say about abortion, gay marriage, marijuana use? So many churches just say it out right in their services – the “typical, conservative, evangelical, fundamentalist” stance, that “such and such is wrong, sinful, and abomination. Our country is going away from God, and we need to get [...]
Oral Fixation
Saturday, January 21st, 2006We always thought Luke had some oral fixation issues. He always wanted the soother in his mouth. He tried to put everything he came in contact with in his mouth. I know all babies do this, but we had Madeline first and she did this no where near as much as Luke.
Today I realized it. [...]
