Where’s The Beef?

becky | January 28, 2010

Wednesday night I stayed up to watch my girl Oprah. I have to get in as much O before she leaves me in 2011. She was doing a show called Food 101 in which she talked about what America is really eating these days.  They discussed how horrible the animals are treated (some chickens NEVER [...]

Gamers – A Love Story

becky | January 25, 2010

One of the great things about this blog is that I can confess secrets and get things off my chest.  In the past I have openly admitted to have certain addictions. Whether it’s books or mindless and pointless games.  Well once again it seems my pathetic will power has fallen prey to yet another game.  I might [...]

An Open Letter To The Carriers of My Life

becky | January 22, 2010

Dear Veins, I have a huge blood clot to pick with you.   Not all of you.  Just the ones in my arms.  Femoral, you are off the hook – this time. Remember earlier this week when we were going to donate blood to the Red Cross and do some good in this world? And remember [...]

Mothering Then and Now…

becky | January 19, 2010

Recently, with being on Twitter 24/7 often, and being at Cupcake with all those cute new moms, I have been much more exposed to the Mother of Today than before and I have to tell you, I’m amazed. Actually, I’m in awe. Open mouthed gaping, jaw dropping awe. When Allison over Twitter asked, “Ok, mommas, do [...]

One Last Bite

becky | January 14, 2010

For the past few days I have been reading all my fellow Cupcaker’s blog posts about their experience from the weekend. I should have realized when you go to a BLOGGING convention you are going to be surrounded by talented writers but these posts knocked me off my enlarged-by-cupcakes butt. The truth is, I can’t stop thinking [...]

I Came, I Cupcaked, I Conquered

becky | January 11, 2010

This past Saturday found me at my very first Blogger Convention; Cupcake. Although, as many other more experienced Cupcakers explained, this was really more of a “hangout retreat” than a stuffy convention. Whatever it was, I’m hooked. Sign me up for more! I knew I had hit the big-time when I arrived. Here I was [...]

winter under the microscope

becky | January 7, 2010

Dead fir, spruce and evergreen trees line the streets, left for the garbage man on of piles of dirty snow and ice. Taking a deep breath in the below zero night air burns the inside of your nostrils.  It’s like a perpetual “ice cream headache.”  Driving in your ice cube car creates physical pain.  Somehow [...]
