About Me

I became a proud mom for the first time with the birth of our daughter, Talia Saavedra, on Friday, December 9, 2005. She's the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me. Next to that, everything else about me pales in comparison... either way... I've lived on both coasts (inc. California), enjoyed real winters (Pennsylvania) and serious summers (Texas). I've been happily married since 2002 which is a miracle in today's society. I'd love the chance to go sailing again, I lost my artistic/creative drive when I graduated college and became a worker bee, and one day I will find a hobby again.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too! ..t--My score on../t-- The Family Guy Character Test :
Brian Griffin
(You scored 50% Evilness, 60% Horniness, 70% Intelligence, and 15% Fitness!)
You're Brian Griffin!You're a good person, you're smart, and you're horny. Who cares if you're not in great shape? I mean, a little alcohol never hurt anyone...although you might want to stay away from crack cocaine. Anyway, you're well-read and erudite, but sometimes you pee on the carpet."Whose leg do you have to hump to get a dry martini around here?"

My Blog

Super Mom? I think not.

Tonight I yelled at Talia.  Yes, it happens to all parents but this time it really hit me how unfair I was being to her.  She's only 2.  She wants to play and doesn't understand that I'...

"Higher" Learning

The last three weeks have been crazy. I've learned what it's like to be a single parent because Chris was on the road for about 2 weeks. I learned what it's like to lose a family member, my grandmoth...

No Touching

Ok, things have gone WAY too far.  No touching?!  There's a middle school in Virginia that has now banded physical contact  even high-fives and hugs!  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19293...

First comes love, then comes marriage...

I find it fascinating that the most publicized relationship concerns seem to be about how to find the right mate.  Rarely do you see a commercial for "Relationship.com  the site to keep your rel...

Self-reliance is dependable

My ability to rely on others has never been very sturdy.  I don't know why I've grown up with such a need to do things on my own and to not trust that others will come through for me but there it...

"Vacation"

I always have so much to impart in my blogs because so much time passes from one to the next.   The last several weeks have been quite busy.  Mid-April Kapakahi had about 10 gigs.  One ...

Night on the Town

Tonight we're going to the first concert I've been to in a long time... I think it's been at least 2 ½ years and I'm so psyched!  For the past couple of years I kept saying "eh, there's no one I ...

Teething - Joys(?) of parenthood

Ah, the luxuries in life.  So many of them you take for granted until something changes.  For example, we didn't realize how important a good bed really was until we finally got one.  O...

Bad Karma

This past week was the worst week I've had in ages.  Everything that could go wrong, did, from the monumental to the mundane.   -Chris had a terrible gout attack, had trouble watching Talia ...
