Vibrant Blonde

Posted by Trisha on Aug 31, 2007 in General, product reviews

I am a Dove user. I love their products. But I read somewhere that you should change your shampoo and conditioner every so often in order to rinse any buildup off your hair that your shampoo and conditioner cause. I haven’t notices this problem with Dove, but since I’ve been using if for a couple [...]

Fantasy Football

Posted by Trisha on Aug 29, 2007 in Colts, Fantasy Sports, NFL, Sports

Since the college football season officially begins tomorrow night, and the NFL season begins next Thursday, I have decided to embark on a new journey: fantasy football. Last year, I did fantasy NASCAR, which was fun. And this past spring, I participated in Brendan’s NCAA tourney pick ‘em, so I thought I’d try my hand [...]

It’s that time of year again!

Posted by Trisha on Aug 28, 2007 in NCAA, Purdue, Sports

As evidenced by my new blog theme, it’s football season! I am so excited! Unfortunately, as Bobbo pointed out, we won’t be getting the new Big Ten Network here. He’s got Comcast, but Time Warner isn’t carrying it, either. That is a bit of a bummer. I suppose the only way I’ll get to see [...]

Back to school

Posted by Trisha on Aug 28, 2007 in Family, blogging, the kids

Day 2 of the new school year and all seems to going well. We decided to split Ryan and Zach up this year. There were several reasons for it, and it was a very hard decision. So hard for me, in fact, that I wasn’t entirely sure until yesterday (the first day of school) that [...]

Get your own friggin’ mascot!

Posted by Trisha on Aug 26, 2007 in NFL, Purdue, Sports

Is it just me, or does the Steeler’s new mascot look an awful lot like my Alma Mater’s mascot? No, it’s not exactly the same, but it’s similar. What, they couldn’t come up with something original? They had to use a college mascot instead? They do say that imitation is the highest form of flattery, [...]

Interesting…

Posted by Trisha on Aug 26, 2007 in blogging

I am always interested to see where people come to my blog from. Upon looking at yesterdays stats, I found an incoming link from boxxet.com. I went to check it out and I am listed as #3 on their “Elmo” page, apparently for the toy recall post that had Elmo in it. Interesting… Sphere: Related [...]

NYC taxi strike looming

Posted by Trisha on Aug 25, 2007 in News

When I first saw this headline on Drudge, I thought, why would they be so opposed to GPS in their taxi’s? Only an illegal would really have a problem with it because they don’t want to get caught. Sure enough, I was right. I had to read the whole article, but it was there. (emphasis [...]

The Fred says it’s almost time

Posted by Trisha on Aug 25, 2007 in National, Politics

No, I did not nickname him that. Paul Bedard of US News & Wolrd Report did. From CBS News’s website: Aug 24, 2007 (US News) A round of applause, please, for former Virginia Sen. George Allen, who finally got likely GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson to hint when he plans his big announcement. Filling in [...]

Such a heart-warming sotry

Posted by Trisha on Aug 24, 2007 in News, Prematurity Awareness

The Daily Mail, a UK newspaper, had this story this morning: As Nicola Delemere struggled through the pain of contractions, she was gripped with greater fears than the average expectant mother. She and her husband were 30,000ft in the air on a plane to Crete, she was 25 weeks into her pregnancy – and there [...]

Rainy Day blues…Pictures!

Posted by Trisha on Aug 23, 2007 in Erie

ALl this rain has me feeling blah. The kids are like cooped up little rabbits….so much energy and no place to expend it. Needless to say I’ve gotten a lot of cleaning done this week. And laundry. Lots and lots of laundry. Just in time, too, since our basement is leaking again with all the [...]
