I got up late. I’m groggy. I just want to hang out for a while and drink coffee. The kids also seem groggy and cranky. Plus it’s supposed to rain. This is not a good way to start the week. Eventually, I will have consumed enough coffee. I’ll have a bagel or something. And then…

I paid off a credit card today. And I’ll probably pay off another one next month. It felt really good. Basically, Mr. Geeky and I decided to take our meager savings and pay these puppies off, mainly so we can put more in savings. So that’s 1 down and 3 to go. Most of the…

Since I’ve been away and both Mr. Geeky and I have been generally busy, we’re taking a family day. We’re going out for brunch and a movie, kids in tow of course. Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

I had hoped to have some words on a page by the end of this week, but that has not happened. My original plan had been a chapter a month. January was dedicated to the proposal. February to Chapter 2 (which I really finished quite early). March was supposed to be Chapter 4, but IRB…

I’ve been reading the roundup of commentary on the alleged Duke lacrosse team gang rape. I have to say that though I know where many of the commenters are coming from in terms of their characterization of lacrosse players. I mean, I live in lacrosse territory, so I know. But my son plays lacrosse. His…

For a while, I was collecting kid quotes. Yeah, there’s only one there, but it’s cute. I always love reading Phantom and Bitch, Ph.D.’s kid conversations. I was reading Phantom’s this evening and I thought how cool it was she was recording those so that when her kids get older, she can embarrass the heck…

I was pleased as punch when I discovered that an old friend from high school was reading my blog. When I first started blogging, I wasn’t looking to connect with people I knew or once knew. I just had something to say and I thought somebody out there might be interested in hearing it. Interestingly,…
