So, everyone now knows that Scooby is in a full let cast for three more weeks.  They make this wonderful invention called a cast cover - and no, it's not a plastic bag and a rubber band.  This is a cast cover:

I don't know about you but it feels really tense right now.  It is that feeling of "waiting for the other shoe to drop" or "when it rains it pours".  That kind of feeling that goes away when enough good things happen in a row to help you forget all of the bad things that just happened.  You know what I mean?

Our family has been through the ringer these past weeks.  My husband's younger brother died suddenly of a heart attack.  That certainly threw everyone out of kilter but the circumstances are complicated due to the fact that my brother-in-law ...<< MORE >>

Okay, so everyone seems to have these little buttons, badges and framed "announcement" that they like to add to their blog, website or social page.  Bloggers like to hand them out like candy.  They present other bloggers with badges that look a lot like awards.  Other bloggers, like one of my favorites, Bossy, made a badge to identify readers who signed up to be on her cross-country road trip.

So, what is a badge and how do you get one?

Well, a badge is really just a piece of photo, graphic or text that has been uploaded somewhere onto a public server ...<< MORE >>

I am a self-declared gadget and freeware junkie.  If the software or gadget is cheap, or better yet, free, easy to use and makes my life easier, I am all for it.  Because I am not a big fan of secrets, I thought I would share some of my favorite utility websites on Fridays.  These websites are ones that I use to make things look just a tiny bit more attractive on my blog or social web profile pages. 

Introducing...

I love this website.  It is free, easy and I have used it countless times to modify photos ...

My son will be three next month.  This morning he crawled into our bed and wiggled himself over to me with the express intention to be snuggled.  What a thrill and a gift to wrap my arms around him, smell his sweet smell, stroke is perfect cheeks and whisper how much I love him.  These are the moments I cherish and mindfully add to my memory banks.  Moments like these often accompany the personal testimonies of many mothers when they refer to the joys of their motherhood experience.  

Since the day my son was was born, there has always been love.  My feelings of love were thankfully matched with feelings of "like" at age two.  And, at age three, I can gratefully include joy.  And, no, unfortunately, the joy of motherhood, cannot be compared.  That, of course, is my opinion.  Motherhood joy has no equal.  It is this joy that I felt like I was unwilling to miss when I was 30 and in love. 

I now feel and know motherhood joy.  But, at this point, motherhood has not been a net positive experience for me.  I cannot tell you that I am a better person now than I was before having a child.  I cannot tell you that I am a healthier person, wealthier person, happier person or more confident person.  I can tell you that I am a wiser person and that I now know the unequaled joy of motherhood.  Motherhood joy has come to me with a very heavy cost and I am not willing to offer to any woman who is hesitant or unable to have a child that motherhood joy is an essential life experience.

Oh, lucky me!!!  I received my invitation to become a member of Hulu.  As you know, I am a gadget and cool website junkie.  And, let me tell you, Hulu is way cool-u.  You can watch high quality streaming video of some of your favorite shows (past and present).  What is even cooler is it works like YouTube because you can embed the video on your website or browser!  I can now share with you some of my favorite videos and movies. 

There is no cost (so far) but there are commercials.  Yep, but somebody's gotta pay the Hulu.com bills and I ...<< MORE >>

Asteroid probably won't hit Mars, scientists say

Whew!  Okay, now I can get back to worrying about things like the economy, daycare, old people and my biological information. 

So, what worries you?

Once again a CNN headline on my GoogleReader made me want to know "the rest of the story".  I had to read the article Unknowing Twins Marry Each Other.  EEEWWWWW.  How does that happen? 

It seems that there was this lady in England who gave birth to twins and placed them up for adoption.  The twins were adopted by separate families.  Years later, the separated twins (not knowing they were twins, duh) met and fell in love.  Creepy.  Then, they got MARRIED.  Yikes!!  Then, they found out that not only were they blood relatives, but they were twin siblings!  More EEEEWWWWW.  Then, they had ...<< MORE >>
