Best Healthcare Plan – Diet, Exercise, and Cocktails

Posted on August 18th, 2009 | 8 comments

When the Silicon Valley Moms Blog decided to have a topic day on healthcare, I assumed things would get all political.
I don’t do politics on this blog, but I do know all about the high cost of healthcare. So I figured it was a perfect chance for me to explain my personal healthcare plan.
It boils [...]

Found Money – Karmic Law

Posted on August 13th, 2009 | 24 comments

My daughter and I were walking through town when I noticed a rolled up wad of paper on the ground. Looking more closely, I saw the corner of a twenty dollar bill poking out.
“Hey, there’s money,” I said to my daughter. “Pick it up.”

I have a wonderfully pithy introduction to this post written in the post itself. Basically – you’re being quizzed today. And yes, there is a reason.

Meeting a Love Interest in My Rattiest T-Shirt

Posted on June 8th, 2009 | 28 comments

My kids and I slept in on a weekend morning, and I was cooking breakfast in a ratty T-shirt when the doorbell rang. (For the uninitiated, ratty T-shirts are way more comfortable than pajamas.) I peeked through the window, expecting to see one of my son’s friends, but instead found the dad whose home shares [...]

Celebrity Backyard Barbeque

Posted on June 5th, 2009 | 10 comments

I usually throw an awesome barbeque to kick off the summer season. But with the down economy, my neighbors and friends aren’t as perky as usual. Sure, some grilling could be the pick-me-up they need. But with all the financial fretting we’re doing, I worry our lives have become too normal, too mundane.
We need an [...]
