Our Nursing Home Adventure

28Mar07

I had to do some work for an Alzheimer care facility near me and I absolutely fell in love with the residents there. It’s funny how all of this came about because I was just saying to myself that I should really volunteer somewhere.
With that being said.. we have an entertaining toddler. She loves to [...]

Some Czech sayings

27Mar07

My hubby sure comes out with some doozies. I have to remember most of what he says so this will be an ongoing post. Here’s a few:
“Don’t worry, it’ll stop hurting before you get married” – When I stub my toe or something like that
“Pretty knows pretty” – meaning a pretty person can identify [...]

Garage sales are depressing

26Mar07

Friday I’m holding my very first garage sale alone. Usually I sell with a friend, but we now have our own house and it’s time to break it in. I’ve been preparing for this weekend for a few months. We have an overflow of things we don’t need and I’m not pack-rattish enough to keep [...]

Famous Czech People

22Mar07

I’ve had more Czech posts this week than I have since I started this thing. So why the sudden flux? I’ll be returning to Czech soon enough.. without my husband. We can’t afford a 3 week stay in Czech and him not working. The grandparents must see our Peanut, they’re so darn cute when they [...]

Nicknames

19Mar07

For the first year me and my hubby were dating, he rarely called me by my first name. He would only address me as “baby”. So much so, that his friends called me baby because they thought that was my name. No one but him spoke English so they had no idea that it was [...]

Really good Czech movies (with lousy endings)

17Mar07

Czech movies are by far some of the best you will ever see. They are also the worst endings you will ever see, but don’t let that stop you from seeing them. The people are beautiful, the stories are tragic, the language is confusing, and many of these films show lots of boobies.
The Fireman’s Ball [...]

Children’s programming that won’t make you gag

14Mar07

I work from home so there are times that the TV is the babysitter, but for the most part Peanut and I are watching TV together. Which means I’m watching all those crazy kid programs. Since I’m the parent, I control what she watches. If I don’t like the program.. then we don’t watch it. [...]
