Stupid Networking Sites
I had a MySpace page for a split second. I got bored of it and kept forgetting to check it and one day, I just deleted it. The amount of crap on there just frustrated me and by going from one person’s page to another, I was really grossed out at all the women that wanted me to look at their butts and men who thought they were way sexier than in real life.
I had a friend on Facebook, so I gave that a whirl. It is mainly the same thing. I never check that one either. But thus far, haven’t deleted it. In my husband’s other life (which is what we call all work things that I find out about ‘on accident’ on all of the sudden that are very out of place in my own world), he also has a Facebook account. I just found out about it today. So he added me as a ‘friend’. Then he added me as his spouse.
My all-time favorite thing about Facebook happened to me today. I think they have me on their site for longer just because of this:
It reads “You have a request from Philip to add him as your spouse”. Oh! The power I had in my hands just then. The ease of “check this box: Are you my wife? Yes __ No __”. Just to be nice, I went ahead with it, knowing that now I am no longer hot, single property on Facebook:
“You are now in a relationship with Philip Hertzler.”
Nice.
*Edited to add* Phil just came home and saw the images in this post. He then added that the little heart icon should be replaced with a ball and chain. *Sigh* He is all mine ladies...ALL MINE.

Moms Have Imperfections
News Flash! Just in case you have been in the dark all this time, thinking that motherhood creates bodies like Elle MacPherson and Kate Moss, consider yourself enlightened. Motherhood makes sags and stretches. It creates nooks and crannies. It pulls and pushes and squishes and sometimes, if not most of the time, it isn’t pretty. But darnit, it is awesome.
Cindy Crawford reveals her stretch marks - and shows she’s human after all
Last updated at 10:22am on 3rd December 2007
Cindy Crawford is more famous for the trademark mole on her face than stretch marks - but it seems that even supermodels suffer from the unsightly signs of motherhood.
The 41-year-old’s body has been splashed all over magazines and has been the envy of every woman.
But her striking stretch marks were seen for the first time when she played in the sea on a Hawaiian holiday this week.
The 41-year-old’s stomach was showing the effects of having two children as she enjoyed the surf on a paddle board alongside her husband Rande Gerber.
The couple have two children, Presley, eight, and Kaya, six. Crawford gave birth to both her children through natural home birth.
She has previously been ranked number 5 on Playboy’s list of the 100 Sexiest Stars of the 20th century.

Some of My Favorite Blogs and Sites
Just to kill some space and share some of the things that I go to daily:
Woot! is one of my favorite places on the web. Discount crap one day at a time. If there is a Woot-off, you can find me staying close to my coputer all day waiting for the Bag Of Crap. Fun, huh?
PopSugar is a way for me to get gossip without feeling too dirty.
Parentdish is a great resource for parents with some gossip, hacks and fun facts as well.
Its a blog called ”Awesome” and that is all you need to know!
Sometimes, the normal people of the world give me so much pleasure!

My Little Craigslist Addiction
Most of the people who know me already know that I do not drink or do drugs and although I have a high affection for dough nuts, I am not addicted to much of anything. But when it comes to getting a deal, I am the first person to get a little high knowing how much I can potentially save.
I have had to talk myself down a few times (as well as talk Phil down) from the familiar “Looked how much I could save!!” on things that we do not need. But for some reason, when it comes to Craigslist, I have to stop myself numerous times a day.
The truth is, 99% of the stuff on Craigslist is crap. I am utterly amazed that people own the things they do, much less are trying to sell them. Just this morning, I have found 3 the ugliest fabrics I have ever seen:
That last one, it has a huge tear on the top. Why would someone be looking for a torn piece of furniture? Especially not one with any sort of design cred or real potential. It baffles me, but I cannot stop looking.
I have bought and sold a lot of things on Craigslist. We have even resorted to saying we are “leasing” items instead of buying because when we are done with them, there is a better than not chance that they will end up being sold online.
