Beast Mom: "I loav you, Mom. You're the beast!"My son wrote me a card that said this: "I loav you, Mom. You're the beast!" Nothing sums me up better. Welcome to the Beast Mom blog!Orange and Red Go Together- September 19, 2008 We got a new sofa last week. It was time since our old one had three rips in the cushions. :) You can only flip couch cushions so much and then...well, it's beyond any sort of hiding technique. I felt kind of sad letting the old couch go. It was the first really big thing we bought when we moved to Seattle in '96. But 12 years and 2 children later, the couch was TRASHED. So we bought a fire engine RED one from IKEA. :)http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/beastmom/archives/149156.asp?source=rss Girls' Weekend!- September 18, 2008 I'm taking my good friend, Chris, to Fashion Week on Saturday.

Never have. Probably never will. I've tried for almost 3 seasons now. I just do NOT get into this game. I sit on the sidelines at C's games cheering because I should. And I keep checking the time hoping it's almost over. And I LIKE sports. I really do. I like playing sports and watching sports. Just not soccer.http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/beastmom/archives/148383.asp?source=rss Snarky Remarks- September 10, 2008 "Avoid This Easy Email Scam: Even Paris Hilton has fallen prey to this hacker's scheme to steal passwords."http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/beastmom/archives/147993.asp?source=rss Treading Water For 12 Hours- September 9, 2008 Did you read this news articlehttp://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/beastmom/archives/148170.asp?source=rss I'm Talking To Myself All The Time- September 8, 2008 As a mother of two very bright children, I often feel I am talking to MYSELF.
