This kind of blew my mind today. It is a demonstration of what can be done with Photoshop and kind of makes you wonder what kind of effect this type of “editing” has on the self-image of women in our society today without us even knowing it is taking place. Be warned that this video [...]

Rewind
26May07Here’s a look into the past few days here in London…
We had some reeeally hot days this week. It was above 30 a couple of days in a row. The kids enjoyed some time in the paddling pool and managed not to get too much of a sunburn. Kieran thought it was the [...]
I have been cursing about the fact that I wasn’t getting emails from LJ telling me that there were new comments on my account. Maybe updating my email address would help that situation? Sometimes I’m amazed that I am able to function in the world. But, as they say, every village needs an idiot! The [...]
So I have learned that the houses in our neighborhood are very common culprits for extremely high levels of lead in the tap water. It doesn’t come in the water but it leaches into the water from the old, lead pipes that may or may not be hiding underground, poisoning my family, lowering my kids [...]

I know this wouldn’t rate high on most tourist’s list of exciting things to see in London, but for me it was really [...]
Really Grey

I mean it’s often depressing but I felt like I’d been sitting under a thunder cloud and just felt sooo sad and depressed afterwards. Seriously! And now I have to wait until the next season for it to redeem itself? Yes, [...]
Close Call
20May07You would think that a pair of nail scissors for an infant would be fairly innocuous. You would THINK…. But Avery managed to cut off some fairly big chunks of hair with them this morning. Luckily, her attempts at hairdressing don’t seem to be visible, although she may have some new “layers” that I have [...]
My Life in Pictures
15May07Well so much has happened in the past few weeks and I have thought about blogging every day but there always seemed to be too much to sum up in the time that I had so I put it off. Of course the next day there was even more. So now I’ve decided to [...]
