28 Weeks (And My Waxing Experience at Bliss)

Where did the 27 Weeks update go? Yeah…um…about that… There was no 27th Week… *waves hand in an attempt to Jedi mind-trick my readers* Did that work? Yeah, I didn’t think so. Just blame it on the fact that I can be a moron and completely forgot to take a picture, nevermind write an update, last […]

Our Fixed Dog, A Horrible Night, and Small Miracles

I only got 2½ hours of sleep the night before the procedure. I have always been a sensitive sleeper (ie, not being able to sleep well the night before trips) and with growing concern for my little guy, coupled with a bad case of pregnancy-related indigestion, I simply could not rest easy. We dropped Comang […]

Sending Christian Kids to Secular Schools

I recently joined an online Christian mommies group and came across a discussion debating the merits of sending your kids to a secular/public school vs a private Christian school or homeschooling. Having attending public schools all my life (well, technically the university I attended is a private institution but it does not have a religious […]

T-Minus 2.5 Hours

An hour-long TV special devoted to where a basketball player will play this coming season seems rather silly, doesn’t it? But you can bet that I, and millions more, will be watching. Almost all sources point to LeBron having chosen Miami. There are even rumors that he’s booked six cabanas that the W Hotel South […]

A Gravel, and Snip Snip

Great news — Comang is okay! The vet found an object lodged in his front left paw, something that J and I had earlier dismissed as being part of the paw. The doc got it out with a clamp and the object looked to be a very sharp piece of gravel. There was some bleeding, but […]

Canon’s Wonder Camera Concept Leaves Me Nostalgic

Yesterday, Canon revealed the Wonder Camera concept at the World Expo 2010. Canon is confident that by the year 2030, technology will have advanced enough that the need for different lenses will become obsolete. The Wonder Camera would be equipped with a single lens that is capable of shooting macro to 500mm. The non-interchangeable lens […]

Smug Pregnant Women

This morning, a fellow pregnant woman on my birthboard caught a lot of flack for posting that pregnant women who are “only” 6 months along should not be waddling or rubbing their bellies in public. She believes that this act is only meant to draw attention to oneselves in order to seek special treatment. I […]

Things They Don’t Tell You About Pregnancy #214

TMI Warning! I’m short. Hence, I have short limbs. I have already stated that everyday activities like driving and doing the dishes is starting to become a hassle due to my growing belly and short arms not having the reach required to partake in these proceedings. Now, I have one more to add to that […]

The Manhattan Declaration

The following was taken from the blog of Randy Alcorn of Eternal Perspective Ministries. After reading his thoughts, I proceeded to thoroughly read The Manhattan Declaration and signed my support of its stance on Life, Marriage, and Religious Liberty. I encourage all fellow Christians, as well as my non-Christian readers, to take a look and […]

J-Squared Love Story

I’m sorry for the lack of updates today. I had heard that first trimester symptoms may resurface in the third…and I’m afraid that with the third trimester starting in just a couple of days, my dreaded migraines have returned. I spent the majority of the day lying on the couch, curtains drawn and lights out, […]
