Stranger

forgive me blogosphere for i have sinned, it has been one month since my last update. ha!

yeah, this has become more of a scratch pad for things to remember or at least to remember to share. one of these days i'll harness the energy and inspire myself to shut this blog down and figure out a better way to share. sharing has never been one of my strong points. but hey, i can sit here and pretend that i'm sharing with the world as these bits fall off into the abyss we call the internet.

so with that said and done, a few interesting things surfaced in my rss feeds that i thought i'd ... ahem... share.

i saved off an article called How Not to Talk to Your Kids -- The Inverse Power of Praise. the title alone picqued my curiousity, and as i began reading i found myself thinking ... ah ha! ... maybe it isn't so bad that i don't shower my kids with praise. i won't even begin to try and cast myself in the light of perfection; however, it did do me good to see that some deep down sense (or intuition) which has left me being light on the "you're perfect" praise may have been a positive thing. i dunno, maybe i'm just finding justification in the behavior, but the article is a good read none the less.

one site i look forward to daily is forgetfoo.com because well, it always has a surprise. sure, she shows scantaly clad women from time to time and a raunchy joke (both pluses), but then there are the things that are perfectly safe to share with anybody. his post today called pic of the day is a perfect example. no naked women (or men) so feel free to click through. it isn't an image that will wow you, but at least for me i'm left with a small chuckle and thinking how cool it would be to capture a shot like that and the stories you could make up about it. for something racier, check out his article no dildos in texas. it is quite the hoot. it certainly reminds me why i wouldn't want to live in a bass-ackwards state like that. it also illustrates how the funniest things can be found in reality.

until next month... lol
