Gain one, lose one

The universe has a tendency to balance itself out, and this time, unfortunately, the announcement of Dot was countered with the departing of Grandpa Punaro. I grew up living next door to my grandparents, so seeing them was a regular occurrence. While age took it’s toll on his body, his mind was always sharp and…
Merry Christmas!

This Christmas season is proving to be exceptionally challenging trying to get shopping done, cookies baked, the house prepped for Christmas, and everything else that needs to be done while managing Ariella’s eating/sleeping/pooping schedule. Amanda also came down with a sinus infection that’s had her mostly benched since Thursday. We wouldn’t trade it for anything,…
Lights out

Once again, the government’s attempts to fix “problems” they are incapable of fixing will screw us, the consumer. The latest energy bill has a provision to ban incandescent light bulbs. From the Chicago Tribune… “In this bill, we ban by 2012 the famously inefficient 100-watt incandescent bulb,” said Rep. Jane Harman (D-Venice), who co-sponsored that…

25% per survey- but I may have been partially in denial (+/- 25%) in my answers to questions. I don’t know where on the continuum “addicted” kicks in, as opposed to just “problem blogging” or “binge blogging”, but 84% seems pretty high. Support group time, Derek?
At only a 25% “addiction”, it does seem to take up too much time – mainly because of the procrastination factor (ie. I should be doing something else at that moment, like now).
I don’t know what the big deal is. I only have 167 subscriptions in Google Reader. I don’t think addiction starts until you’re over 200.
I don’t even post that frequently, I just think about posting frequently. 🙂 I want to know what the results are for, say, an All Things Jennifer. 😉
