All Drains Lead to the Ocean

Or so Gil tells us in Finding Nemo. Of course, I’d like to believe it myself.
We lost a member of our tank family the other day. He was a pretty addition, the Sailfin Tang. While we can’t be certain, we think he died because of a small current running through the water (I wish I [...]

When Will We Learn Our Lesson?

I’m not quite sure when it happened, but reality shows have gotten out of hand. There are two types of reality shows: 1) it’s a “contest” in the loosest of terms and ultimately there is some type of “winner,” and 2) a camera follows a person or family around so that we can get a [...]

Prop 8 Upheld…What the Hell?

I cannot believe that the California Supreme Court upheld it’s ruling on Proposition 8 and kept gay marriages banned. What the hell, California?
I think it’s very unfair that two people who want to spend their lives together can’t. Who cares if they are two men or two women?
Some argue that marriage should only be between [...]

A Change in the Subject

I was going to write about how the California Supreme Court upheld the decision to keep the ban on same sex marriage…something that is wrong in my book (and will probably still write about). But instead, as life always does, there’s something else that happened today that I feel I must write about instead.
I just [...]

Awe man…I have been craving the stupid cabbage salads at Northwoods Inn Restaurant. Am I following in my gramma’s footsteps (or tastebuds)?

Where Does Science Begin and Religion End?

Celebrity-dom is Dumb Dumb

Why do we, as a society, worship the ground that celebrities walk on? I’ve always wondered this. I know a couple of people who follow celebrity gossip to the T. They know everything they can about all things celebrity. Why? Why do they care about Britney, or Angelina and Brad’s latest baby or I don’t [...]

Mom Abilities

When I was young, it was up to my mom to find things around our house.
US (this includes me, my little sister and my dad): Mom, I can’t find my sunglasses (or any random item)!!!
Mom: Did you look in your room? On the coffee table? On the kitchen table?
Us: Yes, I’ve looked EVERYWHERE! Can you [...]

And the winner is…

Awe, the young dude didn’t win the Biggest Loser last night? How sad. I was hoping he’d win. Instead the chick won…Helen Phillips.
I didn’t watch this show religiously. We got rid of our cable so now our TV in the living room only plays regular network TV. One night we had it on for background [...]

Ahhh, Time to Relax

What a busy few days! Oh my gosh!! Tomorrow I get to get back to the routine and back to fine tuning our schedule!
Last week I felt like I spent most of my time in the kitchen. I cooked up some green veggies and apricots for Zack earlier in the week and then on Friday, [...]
