….is not going to either Obama or McCain. I have been dithering for a while about whether it would be worthwhile to vote for McCain as a vote against Obama, but Minnesota is so unlikely* to go for McCain that I’m not going to bother.
I’m out of the media loop, mostly, though I watched […]
I was feeling a little down the other day because I haven’t been out to a movie in two years, and OLC’s sleep schedule makes it difficult to watch movies at home. Then I remembered: I can read all I want, and the book is always better than the movie.
I read a lot of natural childbirth-midwifery-attachment parenting blogs, because I see a lot of good in those philosophies. I forget sometimes, though, that most of the people that are into that stuff are far to the left politically. (I joke to myself that I’m so far to the right that I came […]
I paid off my last small personal debt today. A couple of weeks ago, I paid the very last payment on our student loans. (We had a big stinkin’ pile of them when we got married, mostly MFH’s.) So now we are…..

I’m starting to get some of my energy back. I was able to clean up my craft space last night, and tackled some lingering unpacked boxes this morning. I still have morning sickness, but it’s getting easier to eat again.

The State Fair was fun; we went with MFH’s mom. The day started with a Minor Crisis: in the morning, we loaded OLC into the car in her pajamas, and I threw an outfit into her diaper bag. Well, we got to the fair, and I changed her and started to dress […]
I just haven’t been feeling well lately, and also the weather has been more than hot enough for me. This is my least favorite time of year; I just try to survive it.
OLC is in a phase where she names things, and then wants me to echo what she said. Even […]
We were on vacation last week. We drove across Wisconsin, and vowed together to never buy a home that is under a HOA. Especially not a HOA that will let you paint your house “any color, as long as it’s beige.” We took the car ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon, which was […]
