Animal Magnetism
You're so right about the big cats stalking kids at the zoo. They always eyeball my 2-year old like she's lunch. Oh yeah, but she's not irritating :-)— September 9, 2008 4:14 p.m.
Play Day
I totally agree with you about not wanting to buy presents out of obligation. I love the idea of giving presents "just because" and not because a holiday tells me I should. My husband and I usually skip Valentine's Day all together and for my daughter's next birthday the invitations will read, "In lieu of gifts, please donate to your favorite charity." She all ready has more toys than she can play with, so why should other parents have to buy her more just to come hang out and eat cake with us?— August 6, 2008 4:24 p.m.
Married Off
Awww, I had my wedding at the Island Palms too. Congratulations to Jenny & Brad!— August 6, 2008 4:03 p.m.
The Little One
I think having a child is such a great experience I'm planning to do it again someday soon, but from my "informed viewpoint" (by Joaquin's standard) I don't think everyone without children will regret it some day or that they need to have a child to find out what giving really means. So unless you're a parent you don't know how to be selfless? That's a judgement call I'm not willing to make on someone. Time with my daughter is amazing, entertaining, and inspiring. Are there also times on a Saturday night I'm up to my elbows in soap bubbles and rubber ducks and have a sad pang for sushi and a fruity martini? Of course, but that's the tradeoff I've personally made and am content with and I know it's not for everybody. Live and let live is my motto. Your new car is really cute, Barbarella! I think it's so cool how you can customize them to match your style.— May 10, 2008 2:39 a.m.
My Kryptonite
Not at all in a bad way, but I'm a little surprised that you're an extreme animal lover. I had always pegged you as slightly germaphobic and not someone who was ok with dirt or messes. My dog is one huge ball of flying hair onto the carpet and muddy paw prints tracked across the floor.— April 23, 2008 2:45 p.m.
Neighborly Love
It's amazing how clueless or rude people some people can be. I think it's important to be aware of how your actions effect others, whether it's in a positive or negative way. One day when I was bored I walked around downtown on my lunch break smiling and saying hi to everyone who passed me. Some people smiled and said hi back, but most were so thrown off by the interaction they didn't even react or just looked at me like I was crazy.— April 16, 2008 5 p.m.
