• dorschel's dreadful difference redux

  For some reason, my recent entry detailing my miserable experience at Dorschel Scion has disappeared from Google’s index. The rest of my site is there, but that one entry no longer appears in any searches, even for the exact entry name, even when... Posted Aug 28 2008, 01:26 PM by mamamusings

• dorschel's dreadful difference

  Remember my excited post nearly two weeks ago about how we’d ordered our new Scion Xb? I was fully expecting that I’d be posting photos and reviews of it by now, but no. We made the mistake of trusting a car salesman. We’ve done that... Posted Aug 23 2008, 03:45 PM by mamamusings

• shangri-la chronicles

  Inspired by a re-reading of this post by Kathy Sierra, I’ve decided to give the Shangri-La Diet a try. It may be total hocus-pocus, but I don’t really see a down side to giving it a try; taking a few tablespoons a day of extra-light olive... Posted Aug 22 2008, 02:50 PM by mamamusings

• new WoW recruit-a-friend campaign

  If you’ve been thinking about trying out WoW, now’s the time to do it. Blizzard is running a new promotion that will allow you to start playing with a friend who already has an account—the friend with an existing account will get a really... Posted Aug 06 2008, 02:42 PM by mamamusings

• accidental blog vacation

  Whoops! Has it really been over a month since I posted? Sorry about that… For those of you who were worried (several of whom emailed me), I’m fine. I spent most of July alternating between frantic work and complete relaxation, and somehow... Posted Aug 02 2008, 12:55 PM by mamamusings
