Having a girl in Vancouver is tough. It seems like the
attitudes of young women have changed dramatically since I was a girl, and given
the
things that are shown on TV and movies
nowadays, it does not surprise me that more and more young girls are becoming pregnant at
earlier ages. What's a mother to do, when she's done all she can to help her
daughter understand the ills of society?
Classic of classical. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FXoyr_FyFw We owe so
much to JSB in music today. Listen!
I don't watch as many movies as I used to. Largely because I'm less often
up for a 90-120+ minute commitment. Too lazy. I watch a lot of TV, especially PVRed or acquired from the netosphere.
Discovery Channel, History Channel, Food Network. Aqua Teen.
Rain is the cure for life's
ailments; in the rain
your tears are guarded, and in
its noise your cries are not heard. Instead of loathing the rain today, I will embrace it for
its healing powers. _ I'm a mother, blogger, and fashion expert who enjoys ethnic dining and
esoteric conversations. When not buried in work behind the computer, I can
be found working on the next big thing. -Posted by Lyn Valerie
Recycling is not only good for the environment, it is good for your soil;
composting is a great way to keep your gardens growing healthy and strong.
Remember to preserve all of your old food waste to add to your garden today!
Some words are harder to absorb than others; today my friend called me a "dunce" in jest, but for some reason it stayed with me. -Posted by Lyn Valerie
Whoever said that ra inboots are just for children told a really bad lie! I wore my rainboots
to work today, and received so many compliments that the shoe store called and gave me a huge
discount on a new pair! The power of word-of-mouth marketing is ever
present! I'm a mother, blogger, and fashion expert who enjoys ethnic dining and

I love to embrace my husband when its raining. Thunder and lighting brings a
surge to our relationship, and ignites a spark in our hearts. After looking
at the forecast, I noticed that it is going to rain for quite some time; I
couldn't be happier.
My latest toy-- no, TOOL. Bell Turbostick. Over the last week I've lost at least 25 hours of
productivity due to net connections I've depended on being down/unavailable.
I've always wanted a big, overbearing truck. It's something about a petite
woman driving a big truck that screams "get out of the way!" In my life,
people tend to overlook me because of my size; with my new big truck, I can
now let everyone know who I am!
On May 14, 1998 the final Seinfeld episode was broadcast. I observe a (very brief) moment of silence.
The other afternoon I was zipping along when up ahead I saw this gorgeous plum-coloured 350Z. I've seen these cars in many colours: shiny light blue, yellow, silver. But this is the first time that I understood on a gut level why these cars are so popular. Somehow the plum added just the touch of class that my particular aesthetic sense desires. The standard sporty colours make it seem 'light' to me, insufficiently weighty, frivolous. The plum gave it more heft, and really allowed the gorgeous contours of the body to show to advantage. At a red light I slowed close to the driver and complimented him on the vehicle. I felt his wise colour judgment should be reinforced.#
