Thanks to Minnesota Mom for directing me to this website!
I was perusing the pictures of dogs with funny captions (although the spelling and grammar errors, while purposeful, drive me nuts) in the Loldogs section.
This one got me to actually laugh out loud, so I share it here:

I shouldn’t be surprised.
There’s family history.
I wasn’t doing much to try and avoid it.
Now mine is high.
My cholesterol, that is.
I always knew I should take it more seriously.
Now I must.
For my sake.
For my family’s.

We got pregnant with Bito a little bit quicker than we expected. We decided we’d start “trying” in the summer of 2003. In anticipation of this, I went off the pill at the beginning of January. In late February, we had a glowing positive pregnancy test. Whoops! We were excited [...]

I don’t normally consider myself a technically challenged person…but this whole feeds and subscriptions thing has me a bit confuzzled. It doesn’t stop me from trying it out with Feedburner, though. If I’ve done it right, you should now be able to subscribe to Wife and Mommy’s blog feed. There’s a pretty [...]

A registered sex offender lives on my street.
What reaction would you have? Mine wasn’t too positive, I must admit.
Fortunately, The Husband and I had just started reading a book about child safety when we learned of our new neighbor from a national registry for sex offenders.
Protecting the Gift: Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe [...]

I am nearly two days late for the weekly Works for Me Wednesday tip! I blame being out of town, but because I am out of town at my in-laws’ home, I am reminded of a good tip that I got from my MIL.
Place a paper towel in the bottom of your refrigerator drawers [...]

We’ve are at The Husband’s family home in the Midwest. We made it after an extraordinarily long car trip that involved us becoming intimately acquainted with nearly all the rest areas on the Ohio Turnpike, as well as several emergency shoulder pull-offs. No, I am not kidding, and oh, how I wish I [...]

I am (fairly) new to the (public) blogosphere…and I’m not sure how to respond directly to people when they leave comments here. I am used to doing this in my private journal and feel rude when folks leave comments here and I don’t respond. So I did the install thing with Haloscan thinking [...]

I’m an Asian American and have been taught to take my shoes off as soon as I enter a home. The kids are being trained to do so as well, since it helps keep the floors cleaner throughout the house. The Husband is not such a big fan of doing this, but does [...]

I think this might be something nearly every wife experiences, and something that isn’t really understood before you say your marriage vows: in-law angst.
I genuinely like my in-laws. They are wonderful, generous people. Oh, sure, we have differing opinions on many big (and little!) issues but that hasn’t stopped our relationship from growing. My father-in-law [...]

July 4th has always been one of my favorite holidays…namely because it’s a low stress time to get together with people to cook-out and enjoy some fireworks. Good friends, good food and fireworks–what more could you ask for?
I’m lucky to live in the DC metro area, where the nation’s fireworks on The Mall are [...]

I’ve been rather irritated with my youngsters today.
Then again, they haven’t exactly been in the best moods either.
Cupcake has been perfecting her whining. If throwing tantrums was an Olympic event, she’d have multiple medals to her name. Bito hasn’t been whining, but has been rather opinionated today. Add to that this growling [...]

I’m participating in a blog carnival called Works-For-Me-Wednesday. It’s hosted in Rocks In My Dryer’s blog.
This week’s contribution is a themed edition: Five Ingredients Or Less!
This is a yummy fruit dip, and it’s wonderfully refreshing with summer fruit (I am a fruit fiend, you should know). I think my kids might even [...]
