| I don't have anything cogent to say about Superme Court school segregation business. Really, it doesn't affect anything for me. I already work at segregated schools so that's that. Maybe I'll just tell some more stories about the realities of urban schools that wouldn't fly in a white school. Not because poor nonwhite parents don't care about |

| I hate the laundromat. It's only 50 cents per wash, so I know I'm costing myself money every time I use the machine in my apartment building, but I don't care. It's worth it. I hate the laundromat SO much. But today I had to go. Bless my more patient spouse for going to the godforsaken place as often as he does (knowing my hate of the laundromat, |

| A lot of people have commented on the fact that if you get an Apple iPhone, you have no choice but to get your phone service through AT&T. For a lot of people, this is a deal-killer. Why would Apple do this? Doubtless they got some sweet deal, but it doesn't seem to be a sweet deal for their customers. But, the hype surrounding the iPhone |

| In the midst of the Bush administration’s continuing defiance of congressional oversight, Harvey Silverglate (writing in the Boston Globe) contends that the very idea of executive privilege as “the notion that presidential advisers may withhold executive communications from congressional scrutiny” is patently false: From the |

| I’ve got a beef to share. We live in Illinois. My twins are heading to 6th grade this year, and oldest son will attend Sophomore year at H.S., and I might just have to re-mortgage my home after enrolling them for school. First of all, it cost me $500. just for the [...] |

| What is vacation to you? I have not had a “real” vacation for the last 3 years. Every year, I take time off of work and look forward to just hanging around the house (I hope it goes without saying, I enjoy just “being” with my kids). Sure, I’d love to go [...] |

| Filed under: OpEd, Watercooler TalkOne of my guilty pleasures this summer has been catching ABC Family's Greek on Monday nights. It has its flaws for sure (like last night's episode, which was downright silly), but it's laid-back fun. However, one thing that I can't get over is how easy these college kids, most who are not even in their Senior |

| There really is no magic pill or no miracle cream for weight loss. Yet, products in this fairy tale genre continue to be produced and marketed, and women (maybe men too?) who are desperate to meet the crazy cellulite-fat-free-ideal buy them. For instance, BodyLift Weight Reducing Cream made by University Medical (love how that name of the |

| WWE had me nearly getting the Summerslam ppv, the matches were set the set up seemed to be working in their favor and mine, and then they went and pulled Raw and Ecw into the worst possible story line driven stupidity that I've seen since the Katie Vick angle with HHH doing the act on a dead body with a Kane Mask on. Seriously, the WWE totally did |

| under: Fandom, Fan RantMany people don't transition well between careers, but Jason Lee smoothly slid from professional skateboarder -- with his own pair of Airwalks -- to slacker actor with no problem at all. Mallrats might not be a stellar example of comedic cinema, but it's an incredibly fun flick worth repeated viewings just to see Lee's |

| I have noticed that I rarely post about my depression. I totally block that off from people. Not just the blogging community, or the kind folks who visit my blog, but from everyone - even the husband. Of course the husband and kiddies know I get “blue” but the kids don’t know the details.
