I had two really wierd dreams today while napping with Bear (I haven't been able to sleep in my own apartment since last week when I pissed BD something fierce and have been nervous to be here and unable to sleep. Today is my first day back since last week, and I have so far managed to have a nap, plagued by these dreams)-- read more >>

****Edit to add: I went to the lady next doors' apartment tonight while her baby was screaming. She was not there, there was no adult there...although there WAS a young boy who looks to be about 7-8 years old....Errr...is that okay? ***-- read more >>

The lady across the halls baby is screaming again, and I have the sinking feeling that she might not be there, as I heard her leave about 20 minutes ago and haven't heard her come back..and she lives alone. Her little boy screams bloody murder most of the time, and it makes me sad Maybe she has someone watching him?-- read more >>

Does anyone know how to get black acrylic paint off of a carpet, or am I screwed?
It says it's a "stainmaster" carpet...but when I tried to clean it up, it made a smeary mess so i stopped...

Anyone have any advice?

So, what I have read and talked to people about is that at 6months of age is when you should start feeding a baby solids(if you haven't already started) because they no longer have their iron stores.
Recently, I was talking with a friend of mine who said that she keep hearing "7 months" instead of 6, and that seven is the magic number.-- read more >>

6 months ago today (at 00:21) I gave birth to this tiny person...-- read more >>

Whatever happened to these guys??
Oh Aqua, I miss you!

I am currently enjoying this delight-- read more >>

Okay...so things are really good with me if I look at my life full spectrum...Bear and I are once again on the market for a home as BD now keeps wanting to come over here all the time (which a) I have never let him do and b)why would I want him here when Bear is sleeping?). He now seems to expect me to just bring Bear to him whenever he feels like it because he is just around the corner...so we're going to move.-- read more >>

First off...a sweeeeeeeeet track to provide some music for this post(which compliments the music DC posted just before me because if a DJ played me this right now, my life would be saved!). This track is amazing,imho and makes me dance my ass off. Hopefully one day I can hear it on a huge soundsytstem (next summer>!). The video is a little wierd though. Bigwigs-Pars Pro Toto...its actually about 5 minutes longer than this, but this is all I could find

First of all....OBAMA!!! I laughed, i cried, i did a little dance! I'm pretty sure some big excitement broke out all over the world!

Second of all...Bear FINALLY rolled over on his own this week! Wooo! And he started solids (mmmm avocado!) And he is hysterical and lovely and all ooey gooey good! He has fits of hysterical laughter for no reason at all, and I LOVE IT!-- read more >>

did you vaccinate your kids?
Did you get them all, or pick and choose?
Which ones did you choose and why?
Which ones did you abstain from and why?
how did your kiddies react?
how old were they?

I've been researching vaccines lately, and am just looking for some mama opinions, because you are some smartypants ladies!

I hope that all of you who got to celebrate this year had/are having a wonderful time! I LOOOOVE halloween!

I put Bear in his bear carsuit and called it a costume.-- read more >>

feeling like I need to do a grats list to remind myself that, for the most part, I am pretty damn happy!
first, some music.

when i was in high school, I wrote a LOT of poetry and loved it, and then got away from it. But ladies on here sharing their gorgeous writings inspired me again. Here is one I wrote about a week ago-- read more >>

this isn't a happy one. I don't really expect (or care much) if anyone reads this, i just need to get it out of my head and off my chest so I can maybe get a decent nights sleep...

okay so.-- read more >>

These are the mini Agave cupcakes I made last night, with almond (vegan)buttercream frosting and goji berries I ate way to many cupcakes...(by cupcakes i mean left over frosting)-- read more >>

I have been on a cupcake binge lately....thinking about them, making them and decorating them while Bear sleeps...EATING them!
If you can ignore the lame face I'm making, cast your eyes upon these vegan Black Forest beauties I made for my brothers birthday -- read more >>

Does anybody here use Paypal and can vouch for how safe it REALLY is?
Call me paranoid, but I am terrified to get an account there because I need the money that I have...but theres a pair of boots I'd like to buy online and I need paypal to do it. I just don't want my money somehow disappearing....

Anywho...I hope all you mamas had a wonderful weekend. Did anyone catch the real sarah Palin on SNL?

So...
Christmas is around the corner, and while I am choosing to celebrate different cultural holiays every year with Bear, my family and BD's family are Christmas fanatics ("you don't want to celebrate Christmas?!?! Wha??!!). SO my family is easy, but I need to make a list of stuff Bear needs for BD's family. -- read more >>

Here's a big ol' (Canadian) Thanksgiving Monday ho!
it was such a gorgeous day and we had a looooovely walk

A tree of fire

Bear has an eye infection. Its not swollen, but has been pretty watery (since he got poked in the eye last week by another baby) and today started putting out a lot of green goo. I have been removing the goo with warm water, giving his eye warm compresses and putting breastmilk on it, and so far nothing has even made it look like its going away

Anyone have any ideas?

Is it completely bitchy of me to never let BD get his hands on the car seat?-- read more >>

The tough look at theirs baby's sweet face and keep on going...

Note to self: there is more love here in this apartment then there are bad intentions in our lives

Can anyone recommend a good site/program to download albums and music from? Preferably one that is free and virus-free? I have had the same cds for at least 4 years and aside from my very favorites, I am sooooo sick of listening to the same stuff.

Any awesome albums I should definately download? I think I need a change from psychedelic trance music...

Thanks
