Eats, Shoots and Leaves
15 June 2009, 9:59 am

I reserved a book at the library that I wanted to re-read but accidentally selected the children’s version. “Eats, Shoots and Leaves” is a funny book about punctuation.

The book title has a joke that goes with it that points out the danger of misinterpretation due to bad punctuation…

A panda walks into a restaurant, sits down and orders a sandwich. [...]

My rant: CHEWING
17 June 2009, 10:01 pm

No, I’m not referring to the kids chewing with their mouths open. Nope. This is for the dude at ballfield…

If you happen to be a guy chewing tobacco at t-ball games, bring a cup/ bottle/ jug/ jar/ whatever, something, ANYTHING to spit in.

Do not stand there for an hour spitting tobacco goo on the ground where me and my [...]

Bumbo- Recommended Baby Item
21 June 2009, 9:58 pm

This is my four-month old in his Bumbo seat.

Bumbo seats are relatively new (about 5 years, I’d guess) and are now available at major retail stores. It’s a step between the inclined positioning of a bouncy seat and the more independent sitting in a boppy.

from www.bumbobabyseat.com :

The Bumbo Baby Seat is a snug and cozy environment for [...]

Cereal Box Flip Flops and Houses
1 July 2009, 7:01 pm

Since nobody in our house likes the same kind of cereal, we end up with a lot of empty cereal boxes.

Hmmm. well, I’m no math whiz but I guess the same amount of cereal would be eaten, so maybe we’d end up with the same amount of empty boxes, but they’d just all be the same [...]

Baby Slings/Wraps Presentation 7-9-09 (Monroe)
5 July 2009, 8:50 pm

This Thursday’s Lunch Bunch presentation is on slings/wraps. If you have a baby, you should go.

I’m a fan of wraps, moreso my baby is a BIG fan of being carried around. Without a wrap, I would get even less done than I do now.

I have a pretty black/grey/white no-sew wrap (like a Mo...

TONIGHT (7/9/09) Kids Concert @ St Mary’s Park, 7pm
9 July 2009, 1:06 pm

Tonight’s show is Guy Louis-Chautauqua Express. Great show, interactive. I’d say ages 1-12 are the perfect age, but I find it entertaining and I’m *WAY* over twelve.

The City of Monroe Concert in the Park series features free music and entertainment at 7 p.m. Thursdays during the...

Big Foot Sighting
18 July 2009, 5:55 pm

Its a sad state of affairs when you realize your daughter (age nine) wears the same size 5 1/2 shoe as your best friend (age not disclosed – - what kind of a friend does that?!).

Its even worse when you tell your friend this, and when comparing feet the friend says to your daughter, “I ...
