Grocery Bags
It's taken a long time and persistence, but I have now succeeded! Today I bought several gallons of oil, milk, and orange juice, and I did not bring a single bag home! Before Jonathan was born, I could expect one paper bag inside one or two plastic bags for every $10 spent on groceries. Once I... (More)

Internet Searching
It seems that lots of people have trouble typing in keywords into search engines that result in the hits that they want. Every once in a while I have to go to the second page of results, but generally things are available on the first page.For example, I was recently asked, "How do I get... (More)

The Itsy Bitsy Spider
I have come to a new appreciation of that little spider. When I was a child I always thought it was a rather stupid creature not aware of its surroundings, just blindly walking into a place that was obviously not safe. However, as I think about it now, I find that spider to be a model of... (More)

Music Meme
I had heard of memes before, hadn't paid much attention until Adrian Drury mentioned it a couple weeks ago on snurgle, and today I noticed a post on Oscar's blog inviting me to participate. Total size of music files in my computer 1003 songs, 62 hours, 3.88GB Last record bought... (More)

Repetition and Memorization
I can now recite in their entirety from memory: Miss Spider's Tea Party Dr.Seuss's ABC The Very Hungry Caterpillar and maybe Sandra Boynton's A to Z, though I haven't tested myself on that one yet. (More)

Appreciating Fine Art
I have not been too interested in paintings or going to art museums (except I did always like to see the Tiffany glass work.) I will admit that I had my doubts about whether Jonathan would like the Van Gogh bits, simply because I had no appreciation for them myself. But I determined to show them... (More)

One Year Older, One Waist Size Bigger
Heather and I went shopping for jeans yesterday; Heather to try to find jeans that don't have the new low-cut waist line, and me to replace some worn out pairs that have spontaneously ripped when doing various projects around the house. I have always had trouble finding jeans that fit,... (More)

Hot and Cold
Jonathan love to say "hot" and he often says hot when he means cold - ie snow, ice cubes. This morning while we were looking out the window, he said, "hot" again for the snow and the cold window. I showed him the sign for cold and repeated the sign for hot and explained to him that they were... (More)

A Glimpse Into the Inner Workings of the City of Pittsburgh
Jonathan loves to watch the garbage truck come down the street and pick up the trash. This morning, we spent 25 minutes standing at the window, watching the world, waiting for the truck, watching the truck, and learning new things. Every once in a while, I would notice that a smaller truck,... (More)

You Couldn't Say He Wouldn't Hurt a Fly
Jonathan and I were up on the third floor when the trash truck came by, and he likes to watch, so I brought him to the window. The third floor attracts and kills flies (not sure why) so it was no surprise to see a fly buzzing around the window.It was obviously sick because Jonathan was able to... (More)

Plog Template Update
It had always annoyed me that you couldn't use smarty commands in the stylesheet files in plog. It turns out it wasn't that hard to figure out, and the original authors had it basically done, but if you believe the comments, didn't think it worked yet. It is helpful to change... (More)

Thinking of Isaac on Jonathan's Birthday
This morning, I received a card from my parents letting me know that they will always remember Isaac and that they had given a gift to World Vision in his honor. Then, this afternoon, I was listening to Stacey Regan's CD, which of course includes I Offer My Isaac. The lyrics can be found... (More)

Good Kick!
Jonathan is amazingly adept at kicking a ball. We have fun playing "soccer" together, and he usually kicks the ball straighter than I do! He always uses his right foot, and if the ball is not in the right position, he will use his hands to either position it or push it away. (More)

Vacuum Cleaner
On Monday, which is my vacuuming day, I did two floors while Jonathan took a nap. Then for the other two floors, he was awake, but he was content to be out of the backpack - which is a great help to my energy! As always, I warned him when I was going to turn it on. Usually, he would run away... (More)
