Last November, I participated in an event called National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short. Your goal is to write a 50,000+ word novel in the month of November. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to write a story. There’s a website devoted to the event, nanowrimo.org, which I loved using. They have [...]

The feeling is mutual
Posted in ramblings, tagged dishwasher, kitchen on May 21, 2009 | 2 Comments »
My dishwasher and I are in hate with each other. For one thing, it doesn’t clean the dishes very well. For another thing, it’s ridiculously noisy. It scares Amanda out of the kitchen quite often. We very rarely use our dishwasher – it’s just easier to do it by hand, and considering the age of [...]
A little bit of earth
Posted in ramblings, tagged gardening, herb garden, kids, plants on May 14, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Having no yard, we’ve resorted to a windowsill garden. They had these little pots with seeds and dirt at Target for a dollar each, so I bought 4 of them. Amanda loved helping me plant the seeds, and she loves watering them with me. It’s so cute to watch as she concentrates really hard to [...]
Twilight; or, why I love my husband
Posted in ramblings, tagged love, marriage on February 13, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I just recently finished reading the Twilight novels by Stephenie Meyer. I enjoyed them overall. She definitely knows how to build suspense and tension and keep the reader engaged. There was one thing I was a little disappointed in, though; I’ll admit that part of why I was disappointed was because of all the hype [...]
Sorry for the absence

I’ve been blogging A LOT about California’s proposition 8. I lose sleep some nights, because my mind won’t stop thinking about all the things I want to say. It’s bad. I promise things will be better next week, after the election is all done.
I surprise myself with how passionate I am about this issue. Those [...]
Have you ever…

bought a candy bar (or other food item) that had a promotional code you could enter to win a prize on it? Except when you go to the website, you can’t seem to find the promo game? So you google it, but still can’t find it? And then you think to check the dates of [...]
A moving discussion
Posted in ramblings, tagged gay marriage, Proposition 8 on October 12, 2008 | 1 Comment »
We’ve had such a long discussion about California’s Proposition 8, about preserving traditional marriage, that I decided to move the discussion to a new blog totally devoted to Proposition 8. Most people who come to this blog are trying to find out how my family is doing, and so they won’t have to sort through the political [...]

I was reading on my friend Carly’s blog about how she is learning how to cook and plan meals and menus for the week, being a newlywed. I have always loved cooking, but haven’t always taken the time for it. Now that I do it most days, I find I really enjoy cooking. Most of [...]
On second thought
Posted in ramblings, tagged gay marriage, Proposition 8 on October 2, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I didn’t realize that blogging about Prop 8 would lead to a migraine. So I am going to take a break from answering your comments for a day or two. Feel free to continue the discussion amongst yourselves.
I do sincerely appreciate that we have kept our discussion just that – a discussion, and not an [...]
