Sometimes I wish I had a stable of multiple personalities to deal with life's trials. Gigi would take care of the house, Beverly would nanny the kids and Ghostface Killah would deal with my extended family.
But in reality it's just little ole me, Cardiogirl, trying to raise three small girls with my husband of 13 years.
I'm a low maintenance chick -- have Converse low tops, will travel.
Hi, you’re still dealing with Robo-Cardiogirl but like the Terminator, I’ll be bahh-ck, alive and kicking on Monday.
Friday is The Book of Questions Day around these parts.
Today’s question comes from the aptly titled book “The Book of Questions” by Gregory Stock, Ph.D.
And here it is, Question 199.
You are given $1,000,000 to donate anonymously to charity or to a stranger. How would you dispose of it?
This would be fun, wouldn’t it? First I’m going... Read Full Story
Hey, Robo-Cardiogirl here for the rest of the week. I’ll be back, live on Monday.
I haven’t doodled in quite a while, have I? I want to have a cool doodle retrospective ready for December 31, 2009 so I need to get back on that wagon. That is why I am presenting Thanksgiving 2009 via doodle.
Chances are good we made it to our final (earthly) destination yesterday, and based on past experience, this is how it went. It always starts on a high note.
And then not. Not. At. All.
But t... Read Full Story
Hey, Robo-Cardiogirl here for the rest of the week. By high noon today I will be trapped in the Mystery Mobile for approximately five hours listening to the sounds of My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, Hannah Montana, Selena Gomez and everyone’s favorite 8-year-old chica, Dora the Explorer. I know you’re jealous.
That means we’re doing a road trip and we will return on Sunday evening. But I just can’t leave without pre-posting today, tomorrow and Black Friday ̵... Read Full Story
I’m very excited over here; rather I am still extremely jacked. I am so very excited the I have been massaging and manipulating my project so I can give you a sneak peak.
First I present my NaNo project summarized in ten sentences via Microsoft Word. I have Erin to thank for that little nugget — many thanks Erin!
I had no idea that Word could autosummarize with just one mouse click, but it can and it’s awesome. So here’s a summary of my work in progress as interpre... Read Full Story
With regard to NaNoWriMo, I’ve slayed the dragon, gingah. As you probably read on Saturday, I took it down successfully but I’m going for more. That’s right; I will make a pair of leather Converse low tops from the carcass. Thanks for the idea Tim!
Naturally it takes a village to write a novel and my awesome peeps have taken over Mondays this month to help me reach my goal. It’s Carry Cardiogirl Mondays — CareCarMo, if you will.
And today my super fantabulous ... Read Full Story
I made that bar turn green. Yes I did~!~
I spanked its ass. I spanked it right into Saturday and that is why we are chatting on this fine morning.
And today I will use liberal exclamation points and not just the pedestrian ones~!~ I will use the special exclamation points that Liz and I created~!~ I earned those exclamation points fair and square~!~
I WILL SCREAM, TOO~!~ I WILL SCREAM LIKE HOWARD DEAN~!~ I’M GOING TO WASHINGTON D.C. TO TAKE OVER THE WHITE HOUSE!
YEEEEEAAAAAHHH~!~

Friday is The Book of Questions Day around these parts.
Today’s question comes from the aptly titled book “The Book of Questions” by Gregory Stock, Ph.D.
And here it is, Question 155.
Would you be willing to make a substantial sacrifice to have any of the following: your picture on a postage stamp, your statue in a park, a college named after you, a Nobel prize, a national holiday in your honor?
Are honors more likely to come to those who seek them or to those who donR... Read Full Story
I’ve got a riddle for you. What’s white, travels in really, really small clusters and sticks to everything in sight before giving up the ghost?
No, it’s not teeny, tiny white Styrofoam packaging beads. But that really is an excellent guess, if I do say so myself.
Those suckers live on static electricity, don’t they? Like Visa they tend to be everywhere you want to be. But that is not the correct answer.
The correct answer, boys and girls, is lice.
Yes, lice.

As you know, I’ve been focusing on other things lately so I haven’t had a chance to tell you about this dog. However, as soon as I heard about it I wrote a draft and promised myself we’d get back to it.
Today we are getting back to it.
On October 29, 2009 a police dog was fatally wounded during a shootout in a Detroit suburb. That does suck but I guess the dog probably knew that was a possibility when it joined the police force.
You may wonder why this is news; allow me t... Read Full Story
By now my regulars know I’ve entered into parts unknown as I negotiate The Great American Novel. This really has been a good exercise for me in more ways than one.
It has pushed me out of my comfort zone and it has forced me to be accountable to other people. While that feels like peer pressure dressed up in a suit and tie it’s still motivating me to reach my goal.
But more than anything, it has shown me how to break down the process of a daunting task into smaller, more manage... Read Full Story
