Mommy, what does this spell? Uhhhh...
Can you tell what is "wrong" with this picture, taken last Halloween?
Hint: It's not the wrestling shirt, though I would argue that it is also wrong.
Hint: Sometimes when your kids can't spell yet, the words just end up in the wrong order.
So I finally got here
I've seen your posterous sites, but I have to be honest- I really didn't get it. I've been saying that I need a space to blog about life- you know out of work- for a long time. Not only does writing provide a great outlet for me, but I'd like to connect with all of you on a more personal level.
So here's what I'm thinking (and this could change, who knows). This will be the space that I will blog about being a mom. I don't want to be a "mommy blogger" in the traditional sense- I think there are enough amazing ones out there. But I would like this space to "get real" and talk about how it REALLY is.
If you stop by, THANK YOU. I look forward to reading your stuff, too.

Radiolab: Stochasticity
Flickr/ EtherhillStochasticity (Aired: September 11, 2009)
Radiolab examines Stochasticity, which is just a wonderfully slippery and smarty-pants word for randomness. How big a role does randomness play in our lives? Do we live in a world of magic and meaning or … is it all just chance and happenstance? To tackle this question, we look at the role chance and randomness play in sports, lottery tickets, and even the cells in our own body. Along the way, we talk to a woman suddenly consumed by a frenzied gambling addiction, two friends whose meeting seems purely providential, and some very noisy bacteria.

Fascinating Radiolab episode on the nature of chance and how human beings attribute meaning to it. Also, pattern recognition: how our minds respond to patterns and tries to make sense of them. How gambling addiction even results from the brain’s desire to replicate and understand patterns.
