    The Having Kids Debate

    As someone who taught high school for one year, I'd say you are a pretty remarkable person! I was miserable and literally sick to my stomach the whole year I taught--was proud to just make it through a full year. It takes a very special person to love many other parents' teenagers! Good luck...

    The Having Kids Debate

    I'm another one that is not that interested in other people's kids but I love my own. Other people's kids are annoying and smell funny. Mine are adorable and smell delicious (o.k., sometimes mine are also annoying and stinky, have to admit). I think it's 100% o.k. to not want kids though...

    I've been banned! Like Howard Stern!! Except from a fat support group!!!

    I can understand the temptation to share about your blog! I've gotten where I mainly only post about my blog if I'm doing something like a Cathe-related giveaway (which reminds me--I still haven't gotten a response from the second winner of my recent giveaway--anyone know a Zoe?--she won the...

    Anyone Else Just Adore the Autumn?

    It's my favorite time of year--basically Oct through Dec is my favorite because I also love Christmas. I also hate summer, so fall is especially wonderful.

    Cathe gift certificate giveaway

    I finally realized the winner used an email address when she left a comment, so I emailed her to let her know she won, so yes, she's been notified. I wanted to check that it was a valid email before sending her the gift certificate, though, so I'm waiting to hear back from her still. If I...

    Cathe gift certificate giveaway

    Hi Wendy, nope haven't heard from the giveaway winner yet. I might just pick a new winner in a few days if I don't hear back. I'll post it here if I do. ;) Feeling ok when I stay in my bedroom (which has an a/c unit)--not so fun in the rest of the house where I have to keep venturing out.

    Cathe gift certificate giveaway

    Janie, that's o.k.--double posts happen here as well as on blog comments--just a weird computer problem sometimes. Melissa, thanks for your kind words. I'm 8 months pregnant right now so I am not currently using any of my own rotations or other ideas, but look forward to getting back to it in...

    Cathe gift certificate giveaway

    Just reviving this thread because the giveaway winner hasn't contacted me yet with her email address so I can't send her the gift certificate. Her name is Cathy and she was commenter #25 on the giveaway post. Here's the post about the winner. I hope she sees this or stops by the blog soon...

    Another reason to wear real shoes

    Now I'm doubly glad I only wear flip-flops to run through the sprinkler in the backyard (which I did just yesterday, actually). My MIL wears them ALL THE TIME and pretty much ALL YEAR LONG. Ugh.

    Why Does my House Never Seem Clean?!

    My house (with two kids, a dog, and another kid coming) is hopeless lately. My husband is always complaining about the clutter and doesn't understand that my piles of stuff serve a purpose (if I put them away I'd never remember to finish things). On the other hand, I'm more obsessed with...

    What's your avatar??

    Mine is me with my dog when he was just a little puppy. He's a year old now so I guess it's a bit old. Too lazy to change it just yet, though.

    Am I the only one who thinks Vladimir Putin

    Sorry, all I see when I look at that man is evil. He is not remotely hot to me. For the record I don't think Stalin was hot either.

    I so seldom bounce around the forums these days that I almost forgot to come mention this here. I'm doing a little $25 Cathe.com gift certificate on my blog. A simple comment suffices for an entry. Click here to check it out. Edited to add: on my other blog I'm doing a giveaway for a custom...
