Remembering the baby


Posted by Sun T.

that would have been. I had prepared for the baby. I got the Dr. Sears books about being pregnant and having a newborn in the house for my son. I prowled the websites looking for things to add to my registry and home. I did it all, because I just knew that the baby would *stick*. God’s plans are not our own, so apparently the fact that I have all these things for a baby is only a heartache deep within my soul.

Not too long ago I was optimistic about having another child. I even went as far as to get a beautiful top from maternity clothes online. It doesn’t even look like a maternity item really. See for yourself:

It’s made well and is VERY pretty. Suffice to say, I won’t be using it any time soon. I might give it to someone else who is newly pregnant. I don’t know. It looks cute enough to wear without being pregnant. Don’t you think? There are a whole heap of tops and dresses like that on Kiki’s site. I had a hard time choosing just one top, myself. It’s in my bookmarks for later if I need it. Let me know if you order anything from there.


What happened ? Talent scout


Posted by Sun T.

Well it was a school, not a scout necessarily. Either way, he did awesome. He wowed them with his charming personality, wit, and talent. Even though it is a school, I can see the value in it. There is so much potential for him to grow. It is an excellent opportunity for him to learn the craft that he already loves and have opportunities monthly to get work. I figure, we can swing the minuscule tuition. Callbacks are tomorrow. I have to call in and see if he was chosen. I have no doubt that he was. Even so, I will continue to pursue this avenue for him as he has repeatedly expressed interest in this field. Here’s hoping!


To Pee or NOT to pee?

P1020183is that the question? Well that’s what my dog’s t-shirt says. He loves getting dressed up. I think it’s so funny how he sat still and let me put the shirt on him, then he wouldn’t really let me take it off till the next day. He still didn’t want it off then, but it was really hot outside and I didn’t want him to suffer. He also got a hoodie that says “Cat the Other White Meat”. It’s black with white writing. These items came from Doggietshirts.com. I love the items there. I was surprised that they had a size to fit my extra large dog. I was doubly surprised that my dog liked wearing the shirt so much. It is made really well and I know he will love it for a long time to come.

Wish us luck

Tomorrow I am taking my son to the talent scouts in North Jersey. He is excited to show off his talents for others. I can’t wait. He is such a performer, to the core of his bones…I don’t think he can fail. His dream is to have a show like Zack and Cody. He told me so the other day. I pray that his dreams come true for him. I want him to have all the success he desires. Have you taken your kids to talent scouts? How did it go? What was it like? Is your child now acting or performing? How much did it cost?


Amusing thoughts on Coke Zero


Posted by Sun T.


It always amuses me when soda companies put games and such on their websites hoping you will be compelled to buy their product. Coke zero‘s website is no different. They are telling you that drinking their product will make “Life as it should be”. They have an application where you can direct a little movie and then share it with your best pals. They are also entering your movie into a competition against other shorts. They have black and white clips, a voice recorder, and a way for you to pretty much write your own script. I made one myself. It was cute. I even got to hear the computer try and say my name. That was a laugh riot all on its own. Pick from six different clips and try your hand at filling in witty dialogue. You never know whether yours will out perform all the others on the site. I didn’t put mine into the mix, though. It wasn’t that witty. Let me know if you try it out and what you think.


Do you use Myspace?


Posted by Sun T.

I often wonder how many grown people actually use Myspace. I mean, it is filled with lots of children that put their bodies on display for the world to see. There are some good points. I get to keep in touch with my friends from school, church, and life in general. If I have something important to say, though, I would never post it in a bulletin. Most of them are pretty inane and posted to so much that many people no longer even look at the bulletins. It’s a great tool for someone who really needs it, but obviously it’s been abused…along with pretty much everything else on the site. Nothing stays pure in this world. What do you use Myspace for?

Saving money on electric


Posted by Sun T.

With all the heat wave hoopla we have had an increase in our electric bill. Not too significant, but enough for us to take inventory of how we are using our lighting in our home. We already take advantage of the spiral lightbulbs that are supposed to cut your bills. Now we are leaving on the one dining room light when we leave instead of the two bulb burning kitchen light or even the regular 100 watt living room light. What cost cutting tips do you use to make sure you don’t end up with a whopping bill?
