I just pushed a cart full of food thru a parking lot and drove home w/ 75 MPH
winds.
Let's just say my hair has that "wind tossed" look.

I found out just minutes ago that my Grandma is dying.  She has emphezema
and although she's been deteriorating through the years, lately she's
getting alot worse.  She is now soiling herself and seeing Angels.  I know

I have, so far today, witnessed two accidents right outside my house, which
is situated on a one way 30km/h street.
The morons, and I use the term lightly, were going at least 60km/h, as

I'm still here...just working some personal things out here at home

I survived the party....

Well, went out shopping for a TV this morning. The salespeople sort of
panicked when two women (my mother and I) entered the TV department, and
what was even worse (according to them) was that one of the woman was
blond. (That would be me LOL). They tried to tell me all kinds of ...

Well I decided to keep more sanity this year with Christmas Shopping.  I
love to shop really but I'm a nervous wreck when I absolutely have to do
it... like Christmas shopping for those people I am clueless about what to
buy for.  Even if I have a clue but don't quite know where to ...

Alena's really tall for 17 months. (32" tall) and she's always tripping over
her own feet. I was told not to worry about, but I do. She has little
bruises on her legs because she keeps falling on her feet. :(
I'm worried that she's going to seriously hurt herself, or that ...

Anybody get babywalkers for their baby? How long we can let them in it?
