Title courtesy the lovely Kerryn, in comments in my last post…
Let’s see what’s happened this last week:
Found out the boy’s got a hearing problem. Now we have a child that will be considered disabled. Still having a hard time really processing that emotionally.
Had to get our applications done for Waldorf kindergarten in the fall. Which [...]
OK, I give up on my plans for insightful posts until sometime next week. This cold has really whomped me, even though it’s not a particularly heinous one. Just very tiring.
So I guess I’ll take a shot at the Heinous Neverending Meme that Papa B. tagged me with. (Remember what Master Yoda says, boys and [...]
I got this one from Charlotte, who says the rules are:
List one fact, word or tidbit that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your first or middle name. You can theme it to your blog or make it general. Then tag one person for each letter of your name.
I chose my [...]
Another night, more fried brain cells. The rest of the week will probably have to be a non-work-related-Internet-free zone. Most of my 7 loyal readers have seen and/or done this one already, so no tags today.
Two Names You Go By:
Mama
Pookie (my mother only, thank you!)
Two Things You Are Wearing Right Now:
blue tie-dye t-shirt
abalone shell hair [...]
Only enough neurons available for a meme….
The Name Game, via Helen and Charlotte.
1. My rock star name (first pet and current car)
Chaucer Chrysler
(I think I’ll be working the county fair circuit with that one.)
2. My gangsta name (ice cream flavour plus cookie, or biscuit)
Chocolate Ginger-O
3. My fly girl name (first letter of first [...]
(un)relaxeddad seems to have created an intriguing little meme-like thing. And what better way to avoid finishing my latest job than to make a blog post?
Birth: I came in while my mother was in “twilight sleep,” my son came in while I was completely asleep, and my daughter came in while I was awake.
School: Can [...]
Charlotte has kindly passed along some tailor-made interview questions for me. Up close and personal…
Charlotte: What first brought you to Waldorf education, and what attracts you about it?
Kristine: This question reveals how random destiny can seem! After I graduated college, I began working in the health insurance industry. This wasn’t a career goal or anything [...]
Charlotte recently shared this very silly little game: Google “(your name) needs” and see what comes up. Evidently many of my requirements in life are urgent enough to demand exclamation points:
What’s wrong with Kristine? Nothing! (hear, hear!)
Kristine needs a man too. (thanks, got one already)
Kristine needs her happy place. (see above)
Kristine [...]
(Un)relaxeddad shared his fav bedtime stories, and tagged me. Here goes:
1)The Princess in the Forest by Sibylle von Olfers. I just got this recently in an attempt to liven up the bedtime routine, but by enliven I mean “get a new book that I actually like and that is short and soothing.” [...]
From Helen’s blog:
Hardback or trade paperback or mass market paperback?
Trade. They have the substance of a hardback without the weight.
Amazon or brick and mortar?
Either. Amazon for used books, since we have NO good used bookstores around here (sad that I live within 25 miles of NYC and say that because I never [...]
