Tibet, you say? Some Chinese perspective.

I have a conversation club I do with my Dad on Wednesdays at the U of A comprised of international students wanting to learn English better. It’s really fun, I look forward to the time every week. In it we go over all sorts of topics to help them better understand our culture as well [...]

TGIF

When it rains, it pours. I want to go to Florida or Hawaii.
something happy: the weather has been nice this week.

Pascal and Me. (Warning: Soapbox!)

Philosophy was always my favorite subject in High School and College. I loved all the logic and the way you could argue your points and be right. If only life were like my philosophy class! I try that with Ben and I can be “right” but still very wrong.
My favorite philosopher was Blaise Pascal [...]

blah blah I feel like complaining

I have refrained about writing “fat” blogs b/c there is NO point and honestly no one really wants to hear about my griping, but what the hey, I’m having a fat day today. I have hit a new low… I am having to wear what used to be a night shirt to go work out [...]

Case in point:Apparently I forgot how BAD the “light minty” scent was for my all-natural, organic [...]

We all have them. So, to the Katys, the Kylies, the Andys, and the Other Family that actually wants to see Summit videos, here they are finally!
Mini-Ben…. in so many ways… loves his PS. (Postal Service for those of who have yet to pick up on a theme here)

simplistic epiphanies

I didn’t know what Summit wanted a half hour ago. You moms are chuckling at this b/c it’s frustrating when you want to help them and they just scream! I put him in his pack-n-play for his nap and 30 min. later he was still crying and quickly about to have a meltdown so I [...]
