Kate Moss is ugly
Filed in Musings, June 27, 2007, 8:57 pmThere. I said it. Kate Moss is ugly and I don’t care who disagrees. What is it about her that people find attractive? That her legs that are thinner than my forearm? Her face? Sorry, but sunken-in-cheeks-big-pointy-schnoz doesn’t do it for me. That ribcage heroin-chic look? I guess some people find cigarettes and Diet Coke [...]
Sweet silence
Filed in Musings, June 26, 2007, 9:03 pmThat is exactly what I am enjoying (and I do mean enjoying) at the moment. The only sounds I hear (okay, so it’s not entirely silent) are the whirring of the fan and the gentle taps on my keyboard. The television is off (blasphemy!), the kids have been in bed for about an hour and [...]
Lesson one and other random miscellany
Filed in Musings, June 25, 2007, 10:25 pmLesson one:
I started learning the violin along with the other kids in Gracie’s summer music class today. It was fun. I’ve inspired one of the other moms to bring her violin and learn along with me. Gracie and I practiced last night and I think it’s going to do us both a lot of good. [...]
Suzuki Mama
Filed in Musings, June 23, 2007, 11:48 pmYesterday I brought home my newest potentially unhealthy obsession–my big-girl violin. I use the phrase “potentially unhealthy obsession” because when I take on a hobby or project, I tend to get a little hyperfocused. Too bad that hyperfocus doesn’t seem to cling long enough to be productive but hopefully, by doing this along with Gracie, [...]
eBay jerk
Filed in Musings, June 20, 2007, 9:02 pmWhy do people need to tell a boldfaced lie? I sent a woman on eBay a question about a violin she was selling in her shop. This wasn’t some odd violin that someone was looking to get rid of. She claims to be a seasoned musician and she has a store with different new models. [...]
Filling the calendar
Filed in Musings, June 19, 2007, 10:59 pmBasically that’s what I’ve been doing for the past couple of days. All three are signed up for gymnastics for the summer. In addition, Gracie has summer Suzuki lessons, Iain has a week-long art camp and Iz has a three day gymnastics camp. I’ve tried finding activities to keep us all moving a bit even [...]
100 Things - #97
Filed in Musings, June 18, 2007, 11:38 pmI’m cheating a little making this #97 because I’m going to start doing it this week. I think it still counts because I’ve wanted to do it for a long time even if I haven’t put it down on paper (or pixels). So, #97 is to learn how to play an instrument with [...]

Free Wireless AMBER Alerts
Filed in Musings, , 12:15 amDespite my being a bon-bon eating stay-at-home-mother, I don’t often catch shows like The View. This doesn’t really disappoint me since I think one of the hosts, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, is a rabid right-wing airhead but I’ll give her credit if credit is due.
She mentioned getting AMBER Alerts on her cellphone during a discussion about child [...]
