I don't claim to be a "blogul." Neither do I claim to have coined the phrase. In fact, I'm not too sure I understand the necessity of Creative Commons, or Numly, or any other such service. After...

More thoughts on the enviro-house. This is a video from Patagonia's LEED-certified warehouse operation. Some points to take home: light colored paving tiles, light colored roof. They also talk about runoff control and separation tanks that remove oil from the...

I think Eli must have that 24 hour bug that has been going around the schools. Bless his heart, he’s had a rough day. He can’t keep anything down (we’ve only tried water and pedialyte), and he’s just...
Pictured here is one of the devices placed by the Aqua Teen Cartoon "terrorists". I can really appreciate that officials are taking all kinds of threats serious, but those "devices" have been apparently there for quite some time. By lunchtime...

When I was at my bleakest moments at my old job, I would turn to job search sites to find comfort. There had to be something better out there for me to do. If I couldn't just leave and come...
Damon's office was closed today, due to snow. So he has been working hard on the front porch, even though it is very, very cold outside. This afternoon Dave came back to help and they are making visible progress. There...
Someone asked me the other day what kind of jewelry I wear. My simple answer is that I only wear my wedding ring, my engagement ring, a necklace from Damon, and earrings. Before I met Damon I always wore a...

Slate has a response to the NYT Mag article I linked a few days ago. He disagrees with many of the basic premises, and asserts that modern science is entirely capable of dealing with nutrition as it is currently...
The name Juden is a variation of Judah which means praise. We chose Blaze because when he was inside of me with hands on my belly I prayed for him. One of the things I prayed the most was that...
Lizzie ventured out in the the snow/slush for about 5 minutes this afternoon. She didn't last very long, might have had something to do with stripping off her gloves and bare handing the slush. Thank goodness we have hot chocolate,...
My Resume 1. My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned. I couldn't concentrate. 2. Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the...
But only for a little while. I still got to work and was only about 5 minutes late. I swear that when I scraped the snow off of my windows it was on there between an inch to two...
Hurray for our first real snow in a few years! It will probably be gone by nightfall, but it's been fun to revel in the novelty of it all. The kids woke up at 6am this morning to see...
After considerable tweaking, I’ve been able to get the cross-post plugin for Wordpress to work with version 2.1, so my LiveJournal is once again being updated....

Answer: They blog about it!
I read last evening that it was going to snow and honestly, I didn’t believe it. The last time we got a decent* amount of snow was when I was in college and I was stranded...
Currently at Reagan with just a few minutes to post before my flight leaves. Stupid airport doesn't have wireless, and Mom from the South had to hunt some down for me via her mad maven skills. Last night, my grandfather...
Sam actually said to me, "Hey, Mom! If I run out in the snow in my underwear, will you take my picture and put it on your blog??" It was a bit amusing to me to realize...
Woke up at 7 am and quickly looked outside. Snow had blanketed everything, so I guess the weather dorks (tm bobw) were right about this one. I took some pictures so I could blog about it elsewhere, then bundled Fuller...
