ZITS: Understanding Teenage Boys
2008.03.14
 I love the cartoon strip ZITS. When I first discovered it years ago and began reading it, I realized my son was absolutely normal. It helped me understand boys more than any other self-help book I'd read on the subject. Since then, every mom I talk to about ZITS is convinced, as I am, that Jerry Scott & Jim Borgman are talking about their son in the strip!
Feeding the hungry one word at a time
11.29.07
 I just learned about a cool new website called freerice.com that made me feel smart and charitable. You play a vocabulary game and for every right answer you give, the site donates 20 grains of rice to help end world hunger through the United Nations World Food Program (WFP).
Happy Thanksgiving from Jacquie Lawson
11.21.07
Several years ago I received the most wonderful Thanksgiving themed animated e-card. I've delighted in watching it many times since. The e-card is a design of English artist Jacquie Lawson. You can visit her website and freely view the e-cards she has listed.
I'm a lean mean spam fighting machine

 I do hate Spam. Not the (to me) delicious canned luncheon food product the Hormel Foods Corporation makes, but the seemingly unending number of electronic Spam, unwanted and unsolicited emails that inundate my Inbox.

the onset of crippling soreness that is. I'm expecting it any moment now, but it has yet to come. Unbelievable. I guess this is the only time I can say that I don't mind being stood up. *badoom tsss* hah. lame. sorry.
Care to elaborate on your proceedings there Body?

mkay. I first conclusively decided I wanted to run a marathon last year...I picked the London one, as that's where I was at the time, and I arrived at this decision one month prior to the date. Unforts, it was too late to register by that time. Apparently ppl train for marathons and plan in advance to participate in 'em. pah. So i set my sights on Boston. Heck, it was my senior year, seemed timely. Plus I'd have the support of a team and get to meet this one guy whom I guess you could say holds a position of importance here at the school. (That would be Bacow for those of you refusing to follow my horrendous attempt at humorous downplay/sarcasm).
I have never wanted to be Janet more in my life

So i woke up this morning and my heart skipped a gleefull beat. My little marathon fundraising meter at the top left of my page had launched itself forwards thx to a plump $104 dollar donation!
In Bacow We Trust
Sunday, Feb 18, 2007
Last Sunday *thinks* yea it was 2/11/07, I got to run 12 miles over the first half of the official Boston Marathon course. The run was organized by Don Megerle, the team coach. He's amazing. That's about all you need to know. Moving on, I'd have to say it was by far the most enjoyable +10 miler run I've done and I attribute that entirely to President Larry Bacow.
Got Marathons On My Mind
01.21.2007
 "i ran a half marathon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ...HALF MARATHON...and i was tired from the get go...like i started running and was thinking ooooh boy, this is gonna be a long run, i have no energy... haha... and it was cold." Those were the words I found on my IM window when I came to work this
morning. It was my daughter sharing with me the thrill of one more practice run
as she trains to run in the 111th Boston Marathon on April 16, 2007.
