Toddler + Movie Theater = Not So Bad
Sunday, November 30th, 2008
Last night a friend invited us to go with her and 2 of her kids to the movies. Monkey is friends with her daughter, so she was very excited. We saw Bolt.
First off, the movie is in 3D. Monkey and I both wear glasses, so we weren’t sure how we were going [...] -
What The Heck Happened To My Blog?!
Sunday, November 30th, 2008
Hah! I have grabbed your attention again.
To answer that question, I have completely reorganized Demandez L’Ange. I write all of my random chatterings at LiveJournal and I was starting to wonder if I should shut down this blog. Of course I don’t want to, and the domain is registered through 2010 anyway.
One [...] -
Black Friday Shopping
Saturday, November 29th, 2008
If you have children and you’re working on a small budget, you are probably very familiar with Black Friday. I didn’t roll out of bed to meet the open doors at 5 am, but I did roll out of bed at 8:30a and walked out the door before it hit 9a.
The 2 things I [...] -
I’m That PTA Mom From Hell
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008
Not really, no. However, I needed something to grab your attention and that worked wonders.
I am that mom who wonders why her daughter doesn’t show her teachers what she really knows, though. Monkey counts pretty high but I guess she’s only made it to 7 for her teacher. That worries me. [...] -
Responding To Readers: In The Comments vs By Email
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008
Until recently, this wasn’t something I considered a problem. I always just responded to comments by editing the comment with my response or by leaving a comment filled with responses to each person individually.
No big deal until I realized how messy it can seem. Worse yet, many of those people never get my [...] -
A Self-Imposed Vacation Week
Sunday, November 16th, 2008
I wish I could say that taking a vacation would be hell, that I’d miss all of that writing and work like crazy… but the truth is I won’t.
I haven’t had a hobby since I started working full-time days. Technically if you go by the hours I work for one person, it’s usually around [...] -
Send Out The Bloodhounds, Or The RSS Feeds
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008
I don’t normally get business-y, but I have a point to make. Since I wasn’t sure what I wanted to blog about today, and it’s a pretty good point, I figured I’d blog it.
You need to keep track of your niche!
I didn’t say I was a guru, so stop snickering for a moment. [...] -
You Know You Need A Vacation When…
Sunday, November 9th, 2008
Off and on I’ve mentioned how I could use a vacation, so I figured it was time to compile a short-stack of ideas for why you need a vacation:
… you can’t remember the last vacation you had because you were still a toddler at the time.
… the little elves that live under your bed have [...] -
At What Age Do Kids Start Picking Up After Themselves?
Friday, November 7th, 2008
If you stopped by, you’d think a tornado had hit our living room. It is a disaster area. I need to get out the caution tape and wrap it around the living room area.
It’s that bad.
So the real question is: When do kids start picking up their things? I get after Monkey [...] -
Did You Vote?
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
I hate politics as much as the next person, but I made sure to vote tonight anyway.
Go Greens!
Okay, so it’s highly unlikely Cynthia McKinney will pull in and take the win for president, but it felt good to vote how I felt and I support what the party stands for.
It doesn’t matter to me who [...]
