I saw a new dentist last week, which overall was a pleasant experience. His bedside manner struck me a little odd, though. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a while, so I expected I would have to have some work done. I took the news without complaint or anything. So his comments to [...]

There are so many things that I would rather do than go to the dentist. Going to the dentist is like going to confession. All of your past transgressions are laid out. At least with confession, you don’t have to worry about your case of gingivitis winding up being water cooler gossip.
I went to the [...]

I wished that I had been a blogger when we were trying to get pregnant. It took us a while to do it. We tried everything like charting basal body temperature to using progesterone cream. We even sought the help of a reproductive chronologist but nothing seemed to do the trick.
We did finally get pregnant [...]

My husband is three hours away from his Bachelors degree. Yes, a measly three hours. How did this happen? Well, he chose an impossible task for a senior project that he never finished, so he receive an incomplete. Through a computing error, he inadvertently received his degree, so we thought that his professor knowing his [...]

This coming year I’m resolving to live a healthier lifestyle. This means eating better, exercising more, and just being more active in general. After checking into gym memberships and deciding that I will never go even if I had one, I’ve been thinking about setting up a home gym instead. We might have room for [...]

Last week everyone at work was sick, so naturally I have a touch of something this week. It’s not full-blown yet so I’ve been taking Airborne to give my immune system a boost and hopefully fight it off. Apparently it’s a losing battle as each day I feel a little worse.
Luckily there is a ton [...]

I’m really beginning to see the benefits of those large mailboxes. So many packages I receive in the mail would fit into one of those but not the standard size mailboxes. At least once a week I receive an over-sized package in the mail. If I had a larger mailbox, then the carrier could just [...]

Happy Thanksgiving! We are headed to my parent’s house for Thanksgiving, which is only a few feet away! Tomorrow we go visit my husband’s family which is about a four hour trip. So, we might get off easy today but tomorrow will be a different story.
I made cupcakes since I wanted to make a little [...]

It’s probably a good idea if we start to save now for our next vehicle as our ‘new’ car is 11 years old. It must be something about becoming a parent that has me dreaming of a minivan as our next vehicle. The days of thinking that a custom billet grille or paint job would [...]

I’m not a coffee drinker but sometimes I wish I were. Coffee drinkers get to enjoy their cup of coffee while reading the morning newspaper. It just isn’t the same experience with a Diet Coke, or at least it doesn’t look like it. I’ve never owned a coffee maker but find myself drawn to the [...]
