haven’t been feeling quite myself lately. I have a persistent, yet mild, sore throat and a general feeling of malaise. (I just love that word. Malaise.) So I’ve been mixing up a daily cocktail of raspberry-flavored Emergen-C and a drugstore brand of cold remedy similar to Airborne. It’s quite good, actually…

Well, we’re narrowing down our vacation options. For a while there, Yellowstone was in the lead. Now we’re leaning the completely opposite direction — the Washington/Oregon coast!

We’re big fans of the Food Network at my house, and I’m rooting for Melissa d’Arabian to become the Next Food Network Star — she’s a stay-at-home mom of four who’s a whiz in the kitchen. Go Melissa!
But while watching her advance to the final two on the show last night, I saw something that had me jumping off the couch in horror.

Betcha haven’t heard of this “popular” baby name — Eizabeth.
I found this error while perusing a locally-produced, free baby magazine. The issue featured a list titled, Most Popular Baby Names of 2008.
