Let's all act surprised..

Firms with Bush ties snag Katrina deals. Somehow I'm sure we all knew someone would have to benefit from all this.

UNICEF USA

If you haven't already done so, please join me in making whatever donation you can to UNICEF USA's fund for the children victim of Hurricane Katrina. This is the UNICEF mission statement regarding Katrina. If UNICEF isn't your charity of choice, please consider these others:
The American Red Cross
Americares
Habitat for Humanity

Sometimes you have to laugh or you'll never stop crying

Thank the heavens for The Onion. I really needed a good laugh.

Hooray!

My beautiful little daughter began taking her first steps this week. I am amazed that at this time last year she wasn't even born yet. She is growing more confident and attempting to go further and further each time. It is wonderful to see. This is one of the best parts of motherhood...watching them learn and grow and acheive what was once impossible.

The very first post

I'd love to post something fascinating and enchanting but I don't have much to contribute at this time. I'm not a writer or a storyteller....I'm more of a watcher, an observer. Sometimes I feel like I was dropped on this planet from somewhere else and am desperately trying to figure this shit out. My life at this moment is quite complicated and the story behind it would take too long to explain. For now I prefer not to reveal too much, lest I reveal myself.
