Esther came home last week with her glasses smashed. She’s newly seven and slightly oblivious to things, so in her defense she had “no idea how this could even happen!” Which was actually fine with me because truthfully I never liked her old glasses that much. And this gave us an excuse to…
I sat in a blog conference session last Saturday. During that session the presenter made a football reference THIRTY-SIX times in a 45 minute presentation. There were about 50 women and 10 men listening to this presentation and the other women seemed to know what he was talking about. They were saying things like Gophers…
I’m doing some emotional online window shopping today. Window shopping as I’m trying to be good and not physically spend anything. Sitting on my hands doesn’t seem to be working.
