Here's a good one:Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!

Didn't anyone ever tell these yahoos that if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all? Here's the latest one to hit my cooking blog The Good Plate:

I am finding out about Klout, and whether I have any or not. Gee, I hope so! Back in the day when Usenet1 was all the rage, I was a respected member of some very active groups. Now, they are like ghost towns, and social media is the way to go.

You know what, I really like this company. I have always hated any kind of network marketing, but these guys do something no one else does - they actually give you a brick and mortar store - for free. They pay the rent, utilities, etc., and all you have to do is nourish it. Now, you don't get a store right away, and that's okay - there is a journey like Adrienne Boswellhttps://profiles.google.com/108311368591495145208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606302.post-30520524643256713692011-07-07T03:02:00.001-07:002011-07-07T03:03:57.201-07:00Getting American Loyalty Card going is getting better.

Thankfully, Google had kept all the information, and that's great. The older entries in this blog are mostly about being pregnant and the first and second year with Spane.

Jason and Marissa are at Jason's mother's housesitting. I don't think they're going to make any big effort to be here for the party. Oh well!I made Spane a Barney birthday cake, decorated by hand.

Jason likes Peanut Butter ice cream, and there was a container in the freezer. Young man (Spane), just as pleased as could be, went to the freezer, took the container out, and sat on the floor with it. Then he carefully took off the top and looked inside. There was a tiny scoop sitting on the top, and he carefully picked it up in his hand Adrienne Boswellhttps://profiles.google.com/108311368591495145208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606302.post-1104738141773870832005-01-02T23:40:00.000-08:002005-01-02T23:42:21.773-08:00Finally. Today, we got the refrigerator. Thanks to Alex, I found some very good, inexpensive movers who brought the refrigerator.
Thanks to Sean McCann for letting us have it.

Oddly enough, I went to Immaculate Heart highschool, after the nuns split. This place was amazing, a castle from the 20's, donated to the sisters by the last owner, many, many years ago. Diana Sawyer's interview with Mel Gibson was filmed there.

I'm 47 years old today. Tonight was also one of the nights that I go for RCIA.
My birthday was depressing, nothing was happening. At 6:45 I left to go to Holy Family for RCIA. On the way there, I passed the Armory, and there were hundreds of people quequed up for homeless meals. There but for the grace of God go I, I was thinking as I passed by.

I was so moved, I cried. I don't cry, but for this I cried, just a little. After I was accepted by the congregation, we had a discussion, and I said that I was so moved that I cried.

Douglas is Spane's father. I haven't heard from him, and I don't expect to.
Spane and I went to Jason's Mother's house with Marissa. Spane was a little darling and slept most of the time. I have a picture somewhere of him sleeping on me.

Lori Farion took me to Family Medicine Center, and we smoked a cigarette while Spane was having his procedure. They won't let the mother in the room, and I almost chickened out at the last minute anyway.
Spane did not seem to unhappy about it when I got him back. They said he had been a very good boy, and told me exactly what to do to keep it clean.Adrienne Boswellhttps://profiles.google.com/108311368591495145208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606302.post-1069615489578628962003-11-23T09:55:00.000-08:002004-03-04T00:39:04.796-08:00Here's the astrological information for Spane.

I could feel my toes, then I could feel my arse, and then I started feeling my contractions. Spane was hitting my pelvic bone, what they call back contractions, and let me tell you, they really hurt. But, since I don't complain very much, it took me a while before I asked the nurse to check.

We also took a small tour of the maternity ward.
It's really nice. You get a private room, with a little basinette. Glendale Adventist Medical Center doesn't have a delivery room, nor does it have a nursery.

They want to induce labor. I told everyone that I still had work to do, so we're doing in Thursday the 20th.
I don't know if I want them to induce labor. I've heard it's really, really intense, and I would prefer not to go with drugs for pain.

I also made a contribution to SEO - Search Engine Optimisation, which provides good tips on that subject. If you are designing or developing a new site, I really suggest you read my tips.

We went to breast feeding class, and I learned about what to expect, and that it really isn't as frightening as I thought it was going to be.
