Outlook in Our House
November 18, 2007 21:23Well, I think I mentioned this is the podcast, but I gave up my paper wall calendar a couple of months ago to put my calendar in Outlook. Since Dan was using it, the only way to make sure that he knew about family events was to make it a meeting that showed up on his iPhone, which meant that half of our stuff was in Outlook anyway, so it just made sense. Parts of it are great - I can put in there to remind me to change the furnace filter in 3 months and it does, do the dog's flea & tick ever...
Ethical Considerations of Halloween Candy
November 01, 2007 14:57So, we went trick-or-treating last night and great fun was had by all. Vinny is finally old enough to appreciate that going on to more houses means more candy. So he picked the biggest Halloween bag we have and said he was going to fill it up. He didn't do that - but I bet the kid has a good 30+ pieces in there. There are a couple of full size candy bars in it. My problem is, who owns the candy? Clearly, the adults own the extra candy that was not picked up by trick-or-treaters. We actually ...
When "10" isn't Perfect
October 31, 2007 21:57On the favorite websites show, I talked about www.traffic.com - one of my everyday websites. They score routes that you pre-program home on a scale of 0 - 10, 0 being no traffic. Today, I saw a 10 - and it was the road between Dan and us. 10 means a total block, basically. He left work at 3 so he could be home nice and early to trick or treat and I think he's going to get here around 6:15. This is a 35 minute drive with no traffic. He's really cranky - and I don't blame him. On top of ...
Barenaked Ladies new Single :-)
October 25, 2007 12:53Well, it's Thursday morning, and once again I woke up at 5 in the morning to a little boy getting sick to his stomach. Nick this time, and all over his bed, his blankie, and comforter. All of which I just washed on Tuesday :-(. It's been hours, he's had some water and some pretzels, and he's fine - I'm wondering if next Thursday it's my turn. Again, it seems to be just enough to derail my play date for the day. On a happier note, Barenaked Ladies released the Big Bang Theory theme song a...
A blog beats nothing, right?
October 18, 2007 12:37Well, we've been terrible about recording and posting! Kelly's got a bunch of Sunday school stuff and work's been a bit busy for me, so there you go. Kelly is actually in Florida right now visiting our grandparents - she took both girls on a plane with no other adults, I can't wait to hear how that went. I'm stuck here at home with a sick kid. Vinny woke up at 5:30 and threw up. It's been three hours and he's eating and drinking, and seems totally fine. I don't understand - kids are so ...
