1. In 2010 women who worked full time, year round, still only earned 77 percent of what men earned.
2. For working women between the ages of 25 to 29, the annual wage gap is $1,702. In the last five years before retirement, however, the annual wage gap jumps to $14,352.

For anyone who’s not a Husker, or doesn’t just live in Nebraska, you might not know that today is a special day for all the Husker fans out there.
Today is the “red & white” game.
A scrimmage.
It’s sold out.
It starts at 12:50
When I went out on my break at 10 am (I work right by the stadium), downtown was already filling up, and I stepped over the...
Going to Chicago
In a couple of months, me, my husband, and six year old are taking our first vacation. We picked Chicago. None of us have been there.

My husband was leaving to return the redbox movies to Walgreen’s. I told him to bring me back something pretty.
I wonder what he’ll bring back (if anything)?
Took my son to the pediatrician and was asking about his stomach aches. The dr asked me if I chased him around with a spoon. When I laughed he said “no, really.”
I then explained that no, I don’t. I also don’t make him finish his plate or anything else since that can lead to overeating.
If anything, we are too easy about it because we cook things we know he’ll...
