The French OB-GYN treating Angelina Jolie stated today that “everything is normal,” and at the request of Jolie and Brad Pitt, went on to say, “She is very well, and she’s okay. … Brad and Angelina want everyone to know that everything is [...]

It seems we’ve seen the last of Angelina Jolie pregnant in 2008. I don’t blame her for setting in with the kids for the summer while she awaits the birth of two more children.
It’s funny ‘cos in her younger incarnation Angelina Jolie was such a sex symbol to both men and women and wouldn’t you [...]

…and I proudly display that fact in bumper sticker form in the place where I spend the most time.
As my son has gone through the grammar school years, I’d see this sticker all around town all the time, mostly stuck to large SUV’s and pricey cars.
I have yet to see a car that a bumper [...]

Post Secret postcard this week~ Special “purge your bad-Mom,”/ bad karma edition.
Warning: Post Secret can be angsty; this week it’s extra angsty.
There were a number of really interesting and provocative cards just in time for Mother’s Day-(every year–pub. on Sundays)!
In this postcard, I especially like the sentiment expressed as, “How much time does forgiveness [...]

 
…was excellent. I got Godiva chocolates from eldest son, roses and a romantic card from spouse, and from younger son a very funny card and various candles of many scents. All of us went out for dinner together–a rare occurrence and then the best part–what I’m calling”dessert,” we saw Iron Man. We all dug the [...]

Surprises always “excite” me (I hate surprises–always have) and there’s been an abundance of them of late.
Never knowing exactly what to expect of the coming day. Every day is a surprise–some are good–some not so good. This morning, for instance, I was working here on the computer and [...]

Wow.
Last night, just putting together onto a work days off grid for this summer for spouse, factoring in son’s Driver’s Education at the high school for the first half of summer ($350, which is actually less than what I thought the good teachers of this District would work for) and younger son’s monthly blood test [...]

Angelina seems to favor the Air and Space Museum as a “with little boys” destinaton in D.C. It is right downtown not far from her official duties, too. It’s really fun there and very educational. I always go back when I have a chance. [...]

Star Mag
“EXCLUSIVE: ANGELINA PREGNANT WITH TWINS,” yelled The Star
on January 24, 2008. But I’m just finding out about this now because I’ve been reading books for the last couple of months. I blame books* for me being totally out of the loop on one of the few Hollywood romances that’s the least bit interesting.
Twins!
They don’t [...]

I’m having mother fears in re: my 15-y.o. son and the route we’ve embarked on for the treatment of acute acne on his face and torso. There is now “permanent scarring” on his back and shoulders according to the dermatologist, and he is to be taken in for a blood test to check that his [...]

Man, it totally has not helped that spouse brought home a bunch of Girl Scout Cookies including the new ones this year that I’d heard are good. And they are good. Damn it.
Just call me the Cookie Monster.
I wonder if they are still called Girl Guides in Canada. Let’s get them a [...]

Michelle, Viewed– in this blog~ 06.26.08
Though we receive both Newsweek and Time magazines in the mail as well as the Chicago Tribune, I rarely read any of them. Instead, I get my news and feature stories from an eclectic mix of sources on the Internet.
Today though I noticed a cover story on [...]

My sis-in-law is about to give birth to her second baby and I’m she will again share her joy with the world using photo birth announcements.
The impending birth is in under 30 days so everyone has been put on notice though there’s one person who probably isn’t going to take notice until the baby is [...]
