I’ve written before about Vista Print. They have supplied my husband with business cards before, and they were really great. We will definitely be using the cards next football season when Auburn Elvis makes his appearance at home games.

I was devastated when I found out I was pregnant for a fifth time. I was SO done after my fourth. I had prayed that I would not get pregnant again. And now, six years later, I...
I have no idea when it started, but I have a definite obsession with Zach Braff. I know it started after Scrubs started airing, but it has recently been much more intense. There are at least seven opportunities everyday for...
While I was in Ohio, my mom and I went shoe shopping twice. McMom wanted to buy me some nice shoes, to give me a more complete look. I wasn’t about to turn her down because my summer shoes have...
We're constantly urged to teach bell to bell. I have trouble dealing with that expectation. When 4H kids get pulled out of first block with no warning. When the teacher appreciation donut cart pulls up outside my door during...

Yes, I'm talking about actual crutches and not the kind of crutches in your life. Last night around 7:00 pm, I decided to lay down for just an hour. I was in the middle of washing Shane's work...
Our family has been a “free stuff” kick lately. We had free ice cream last week, free comic book day, free samples at Sam’s, and I got my new free CamelBak.
Today, the streak continues. I stopped at a Starbucks drive-thru...
Since I am constantly referring to win-probability-based stats on the site, it seems fitting every now and then to take a look at what WPA actually tells us, what adjustments I’m already making to help it tell us more, and...

Our dog, Maple, killed an opossum last night.
I was hearing her outside barking, but it was a strange bark with whining added to the mix. I finally went outside and noticed her nosing around in the grass. At first...

So when is commenting on a wrong judgmental? I recently got called judgmental for commenting on a woman feeding her infant french fries & catsup. No one can call that right. I thought I was just stating a fact. I...

The economy is anemic.
President Bush’s approval rating is at record lows.
President Bush hardly enages with the media or...

Now it is more noble to sit like Jove than to fly like Mercury--let us not therefore go hurrying about and collecting honey-bee like, buzzing here and there from a knowledge of what is to be arrived at. But let...
During the Great Depression, thousands of Midwesterners fled the environmental and social degradation of the Dust Bowl for California. They hoped for a better living in the famously abundant Golden State, but California proved a bitter disappointment. The...
I want to stress that “farming matters,” to use the words of historian Steven Stoll. “It is the central biological and ecological relationship in any settled society,” Stoll argues, “and the most profound way that humans have changed the...
In research I've done for a Regulatory Innovation class this semester, I've come to the conclusion that most of the current net neutrality proposals would probably do more harm than good. That being said, I think that the rumor that...
No, I'm not doing this (I have a different birthday ride in mind), but I thought it was worth posting the elevation profile. Gosh, I could eat a lot of cake after this....
