Yesterday was filled with fun for Gaetano and me. We went to a Christmas party for the community we live in and Gaetano sat in Santa's lap as if he'd known the guy forever. He sat there for a good 5 minutes leaning on him and if I didn't pick him up he'd probably fall asleep in Santa's arms! He looked so cozy :-) Kicking and screaming I tore him away from the party. (Santa left already; I'm not a...

Like Mother like daughter... I definitely take after mine. As it turns out, when I was Gaetano's age my mom was leaving the gas station and my brother and I were in the back seat fighting. She turned around to discipline us and she crashed into a pole! (See yesterday's entry if you don't understand the humor in this story.) So I am guessing that when my grandchild is Gaetano's age, Gaetano will...

I'm going to cry... I just lost all my email for the past 2 weeks and have not a clue why. There are people I am supposed to respond to who I can't remember and several emails that have file attachments that I have now lost. This royally sucks...

I can't believe I did this... I'd bought a baloon for Gaetano while we were out shopping. On the way home he was complaining "I'm stuck", as he always does when he wants out of his car seat or if he can't reach something. So I drove along thinking he's fine but I couldn't see him cuz the baloon blocked his face. He was quiet, I was singing Christmas songs, all seemed fine until I turned...

I don't know if it has always been available, but I didn't see it when I first looked... I just discovered there is a W3C Valid XHTML 1.1 image available. Though my doctype has always used 1.1 here at DWmommy it had a 1.0 image. Kind of funny when I think about it like that...

I was doing my usual look through of the MM DesDev feed at DWfaq and found a link to an article by Ben Forta which contains links to PDFs of chapters 2,5, and 6 of The Macromedia ColdFusion MX Web Application Construction Kit (a.k.a. CFWACK). Sorry folks, you'll have to buy the book to read the chapter I wrote (chapter 7). For those of you who find holding this 5 1/2 pound book tiresome (who...

I was just thinking that Meriam-Webster's site needed a browser toolbar like Google's to let me look up words when I noticed their very subtle text ad for it. I've installed the m-w.com toolbar , and it appears to be very handy.

I'm in for some long days... My mom won't be babysitting Gaetano as much now because he's become too much for her to handle. Generally he's a really good kid, but he's at that age where kids get stubborn and refuse to let you dress them (especially pajamas) or change their diaper. I can't blame mom, because I know it drives me crazy when he acts like that too. I'm going to try to take advantage...

Whatever will I do...? I just sent in the final chapter of author review on Dreamweaver MX Killer Tips. Even though I'm done, it doesn't feel like it yet. I'm excited, yet strangely bored and unsure what to do next! :-)

On this Thanksgiving Day, I'd like to share some of my thankfullness here because I know it will reach the right people (some of whom I have no other way to contact). I really do count my blessings often (should be every day, but it is only just often , lol). My biggest blessing I'm thankful for is Gaetano, but I'm sure you knew that. I love my littly guy! Of course I'm thankful for my wonderful...
