Uh oh! What to do with 11,111 points? What would that actually buy us? A pack of peanuts? An extra blanket? Maybe a drink on the house really paid by us? Well, ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/19/100-trees/ Dear Costco, I'm writing to inform you of my new found devotion to you. Where have you been all my life? I mean, I know that you've been around, I've seen you around town, but why has it taken this long for you to introduce yourself to me? From the moment I ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/17/i-love-you-costco/ I'm coming across several social situations where I think I might need some outside guidance. Here's one for you... Situation: The people across the street from us like to park one of their vehicles on the road. Right behind our driveway. It's a fairly narrow road. I drive a honkin' SUV. ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/socially-acceptable-responses/ I'm easy. To please that is. Let me explain that. I'm all for dates both expensive and cheap. I'm just as comfortable dressing up in a gown, eating steak and lobster, and hobnobbing with the rich and famous (those who think they are) as I am dressing in jeans and going people ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/friday-13-cheap-dates/ I knew it wouldn't take long for this segment to go to the dogs.

Comment on photo below (with a story or caption about what's ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/story-time-goes-to-the-dogs/ We're in the process of cleaning out all of our computers and backing up the info on external hard drives.

I have mentioned that I'm no where near as anal and organized as I used to ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/proof-of-a-retentiveness/ I'm free. For a couple hours. Du is the best father in the world because he has the girls on a Daddy/Daughter date. He likes doing those. Weekly. And now that we're settled in after the move he can start doing those again. I have designated Tuesday nights as scrapbooking night. ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/12/adventures-in-wifi-searching/ You may recall that one of the six weird, random and unspectacular things about me was that I auditioned to be in a video.  I didn't finish the story because it was getting too long for that list and I didn't want blood on my hands. I only got one ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/12/the-video-audition/ Hey everyone, I'm being featured today at MomDot! It's a great site that features different bloggers and boutiques. They are using the whole month of August as their grand opening by highlighting bloggers and giving away 1000s of dollars worth of prizes. Yes, I meant to write that many zeros. In fact ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/11/spot-on/ I've been raking in the awards lately. It's high time I start passing them along. And apparently Jaci thinks I'm too busy to post a meme. I have y'all so totally fooled. I'm not busy homeschooling or cleaning or playing with a toddler or running a business (wait, I'm really not ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/10/two-birds-one-stone/ I hate being cold. I'd much rather be hot than cold. It has been hot as an oven down here and I haven't minded a bit. In fact the heat is what is saving my life. This is what is prompting my: OPEN LETTER TO THE MEAT LOCKERS (OTHERWISE KNOWN AS STORES ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/09/open-letter-to-the-meat-lockers/ *Happy first day of the Olympics. That's all I'm going to say about it because I'm boycotting it.* Whew, thanks for letting me take the breather last week.

I am adopting that term for forever, ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/07/friday-13-these-are-a-few-of-my-favorite-things/ I almost forgot! Then when I remembered I was traipsing around the city playing in a splash park and eating yummy food at the best hole in wall. Yep, I took my girl out of homeschool to spend a day with friends. So, without further ado, this week's Story Time: Interactive ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/07/story-time-better-late-than-never/ I started Sew Petit last fall in order to fulfill a desire. The desire was (and still is) multifaceted. I wanted to be a business woman running my own company. I wanted an outlet for my sporadic creativity. I wanted to be able to create nice things for people. I ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/06/taking-a-break/ There are those who think outside of the box. There are those of us that like to stay securely boxed. Wordle is thinking outside the box. Here's a visual rendering of what my blog is all about: words. Now a little word association: time: The thing I've been struggling with the most lately. blog: What I'm ... http://notsosahm.wordpress.com/2008/08/05/vizualizing-my-blog/
