Snacking on Reasons
Posted on August 6, 2007 - Filed Under Kids | 3 Comments
We had a bit of a misunderstanding here a minute ago. I was making coffee and Dorian started fussing and was all upset that I was in the kitchen. He couldn´t join me because he didn´t have shoes on, and he thought I was leaving.
When I brought the coffee back in, I said, “See, there [...]

My 30 Day Excuse
Posted on August 4, 2007 - Filed Under Contest, Fun, Personal | 5 Comments

One, I feel lousy. I got an hour of sleep the night before last and it seems to have been the last straw for my body. I got sick. Really, painfully sick. I just hurt all over and [...]

Dorian has officially reached the age where he is testing the limits, all day long! It is exhausting and we have constant battles, but I have finally hit on something that could work very well. The old 1,2,3 countdown.

For the past five years, I have been writing with Spanish everything, Spanish operating systems, Microsoft Word in Spanish, etc. It sucks.
I have nothing against Spanish in general, it is a fun language to learn and all, but my grasp of it is still somewhat incomplete when it comes to technical matters. For example, let´s [...]
