Pretty in Pink: December 2008
http://prettynpink41.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 16, 2008. Good news is sometimes not as good as you think. Today we hit 3 months on the adoption list and thought, about a week ago, that life was just merrily going along our own way. Then, we got an e-mail that Annie wanted to talk about a matching. We went nuts! Someone was actually looking at us? Questions immediately sprung up:. Kelly: How far along is she? Has she been taking prenatal vitamins? Is she having a boy or a girl? Where is she from? Is the baby ok? Posted by Kelly N.

Pretty in Pink: April 2008
http://prettynpink41.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 13, 2008. All good things must come to an end. As Gary and I were wandering around the landing a week ago, we noticed that our favorite new establishment, Piztros, was dark. Was it a power failure? No, the restaurant has shut down! Well, as we all know, usually with the bad, something good must come out of it. As Susie, the kids and I were shoe shopping yesterday, looking for brown sandals, bought some X-appeal sneakers instead (My students will love me! Posted by Kelly N. View my complete ...

Pretty in Pink: July 2008

Friday, July 18, 2008. Picture Book Suggestion: Punk Farm. So, thinking of Alana. And the boys (actually R and the hilarious head/login incident made me clear this was a book for them), here is my first entry:. Punk Farm on Tour. These farm animals are soooo rockin' that they even have their own website. I can just picture "T" doing the air guitar! So, in the immortal words of Punk Farm, "You Rock Colorado! Posted by Kelly N.

Pretty in Pink: September 2008
http://prettynpink41.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 27, 2008. So now that we are on the official Caucasian Infant Waiting List or CIWL. As I will refer to it, our social worker says we should start buying baby things as we never know when we will be getting THE CALL. Gary thinks this means buying all the toys his mom never let him play with because the pieces just might get sucked up in the dreaded vacuum. That means Lego's. Tinker toys, K- Nex. Etc I think our priorities are slightly eschewed. I have absolutely no clue, help! First, I...

Pretty in Pink: Fudgesicle Lemonhead
http://prettynpink41.blogspot.com/2008/10/fudgesicle-lemonhead.html
Saturday, October 4, 2008. Last fall, I had the chance to sit in on a workshop with one of my favorite children's poets, Rebecca Kai Dotlich. In one of my all-time favorite cities, Manhattan. Rebecca talked about how she came up with some of her poems by randomly selecting words she really likes and putting them together. I love writing poetry and often find myself writing them in my head as I make the long morning commute to school. Sugar rush, ears red. Tongue biting, sour pucker. Posted by Kelly N.

Pretty in Pink: A poem for headache sufferers like me
http://prettynpink41.blogspot.com/2008/11/poem-for-headache-sufferers-like-me.html
Sunday, November 16, 2008. A poem for headache sufferers like me. Mirror, Mirror, on the wall. I hate headaches, one and all. Sinus, tension, migraines, too,. They all leave me feeling blue. Weekends should be headache free,. Time for God, family, and me. If your medicine leaves you out of luck,. Do as I do, and find a Starbucks! That is the only thing headaches do for me, they leave me inspired to write:). Posted by Kelly N. December 3, 2008 at 6:20 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Pretty in Pink: Reconstructing Kelly
http://prettynpink41.blogspot.com/2010/06/reconstructing-kelly.html
Wednesday, June 9, 2010. I have been horrid about blogging. I need to though because not that many people know I have a blog, so I can just get my feelings out. This morning, I read a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt that goes like this, "Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else.". Hmmmmmakes you think. Made me think, "Am I being a good friend to myself? Am I helping myself get healthy? Not really. Why can I cheer other people on but not myself? Lover ...
