I heart Barack Obama.
I love how I feel when I hear him speak. I love how he motivates millions to participate in an old system because they now believe CHANGE is possible. I love how he is an ordinary person doing extraordinary things. He moves me. He makes me want to believe in this country [...]

Real Change newspaper people are humans too
Posted in general life, tagged helping others, newspaper, random, real change, seattle, thoughts on August 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m sitting here in the grocery store parking lot waiting for my husband to come out with grub for dinner. Every time I come here, there is a lady from Real Change magazine trying to sell newspaper for a $1 donation. My ignorant knowledge of this company is that it is a newspaper run by [...]
Exciting day for FiveHumans

I spend most of my day juggling between playing with baby Jayden and running my own company, FiveHumans. All the craziness pays off when you see your company featured in the news or a blog. It’s pretty darn cool.
Today, we were on TV! KING5 news at noon and they also posted [...]
Right brained or left brained naked spinning girl, fact or fake?
Posted in general life, tagged brain, left brained, random, right brained, spinning girl, thoughts on August 11, 2008 | 5 Comments »
My friend posted this spinning girl on her blog today and it tells you that if you see the girl spinning clockwise, you are more right-brained and if it spins counter clockwise, you are more left-brained.
When I first saw it, I was amazed and I studied it over and over. I came to the [...]
How much can you love one person?

I love my son with all my heart. I can’t even begin to tell you how much. It is such a deep, powerful and intense love. It may sound crazy, but when I hold him in my arms and think about how much I love him, it makes me want to cry. [...]
Oh dear, time to pull out the handbook. Dysthymia sucks.

Lately I’ve been feeling a little down and not very happy. I can’t quite explain why. I can tell things are bad too because my husband has been increasingly annoyed with me and our daily interactions. He told me the first 2 things that came out of my mouth one particular morning [...]
Katee. Joshua. Twitch. Courtney. Who will it be?

Last night was the finale of So You Think You Can Dance and it was, yet again, amazing. I can’t believe how many routines they had to learn and perform in one week. No wonder 2 of the contestants passed out over the weekend from dehydration. I thought judges had awesome things to say about [...]
Would you like a “kid’s fast track to obesity” menu for your baby?

Since Jayden was about a year old, he started shoving every type of food in his mouth. Its great for us because there is more freedom with food unless, of course, it is a vegetable. He used to love them but suddenly there is a ban on healthy food since he knows there [...]
Blue Angels and babies don’t mix unless shaken well.
Posted in baby, general life, tagged air show, baby, Blue Angels, random, SeaFair, seattle on August 5, 2008 | 1 Comment »
This past weekend was SeaFair in Seattle where we have hydroplane races and an air show. Technically, SeaFair lasts for about a month with a triathlon, marathon / run, parade, etc. For me, all that really matters is when the Blue Angels come to town. Yes, I may be even a little obsessed with them. [...]
So You Think You Can Dance. Who me?

So, I’m a reasonably good dancer when it comes to staying on beat and be-bopping around the house with Jayden. However, in comparison to the dancers on So You Think You Can Dance, I would be laughed off the stage. They are amazing! I am in awe each and every week. I am sad that [...]
