A line of bull

29May07

I’ve had to cancel many accounts in my life and it’s got to be one of things I loathe the most. I’m talking to someone who is trying to save my account and will say just about anything for me not to cancel. On the good side, I have the bestest friend in the whole [...]

Treat my blog

26May07

I’m going to be a doctor! For a day.. online.. but that’s besides the point. I joined this nifty idea called Treat My Blog where we’re assigned to help out a fledgling blog, bookmark it, comment on it, and get it noticed. My day is the 28th.. I’m so excited! If you know of any [...]

Children’s programming that won’t make you gag – Part Dva

25May07

See Part One here.
In the past few months we’ve discovered some new shows to watch! Well… they’re new to us.
Peep and the big wide world – Cute show that’s narrated by Joan Cusak. It’s a chick, bird, and duck discovering the world around them. You’ll chuckle at some of the scenes. Aired on TLC (weekdays) [...]

My guilty pleasure

22May07

I like the Spice Girls. Yes.. I know.. I buy into all that girl power, positivity, blah blah bullshit stuff. But I just eat it up. I don’t know why, because some of my favourite artists are people like Annie Lennox, Juliana Hatfield, Portishead, Switchblade Symphony, and then in my CD collection you’ll find a [...]

A breath of fresh air.. almost..

19May07

I never lost those last pesky 10lbs of baby weight, so I’m hell bent on doing it before we return to Czech. I can’t be the stereotypical American visiting. I told my husband we have to be “the hot couple” which is a term I stole from a friend of mine. Last year we weren’t, [...]

Top baby names for USA and Czech 2006

18May07

I spoke about nicknames before and how we have to come up with them in order to tell all of hubby’s friends apart. So many have the same name. They do that for a reason though.. it’s to make sure every child has a “name day” which is equivalent to our birthdays.  I thought I [...]

Terms

16May07

Seeing this post that Angelika wrote made me think of a debate we had in this house not too long ago. What will Peanut call her parts? We settled on boobies because she wanted to know what mine were called. Breasts seemed.. not natural. Boobies came out pretty easy and she’s ok with the word. [...]

A wonderful voice..

14May07

We watch a lot of PBS. I love archeology, science, and geeky programs.. and I’ve been noticing the same narrator over and over. So I thought I would find out who the guy is.. and guess who he is? Liev Schreiber! He played Michael Keppler for a little on CSI and played in other [...]
