Hereby be advised that BD is changing her name.
From now on, she wishes to be addressed as “Dis Func.”
She either has visions of becoming a white suburban rapper chick or has decided that our family is Dis Func Tional.

For those of you in the Secret Agent field, here is the latest must-have invention, utilizing the newest confectionary technology. And believe it or not, it can be found at your local Cracker Barrel Country Store, where BD picked up this little gem today.
It is sold as a “Bubble Gum Message Machine.” It works like one [...]

Yesterday morning I heard a loud knocking. Not on the door, mind you. It sounded like someone hammering on the front of the house. Since Mr. B was at work and the kids were inside with me, I wondered what was going on. Perhaps someone had nominated us for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Ty Pennington was [...]

The news continuing to come in from Southeast Asia is mind-numbing. At this point, the death toll from the tsunamis stands at 44,000 and is sure to grow much larger. The countries affected are among those least equipped to deal with this kind of tragedy. All the way across the world, it’s hard to know [...]

All four of us went out shopping together yesterday. The kids had gift certificates and checks to spend. I needed groceries. Mr. B needed more chains to mount the famous punching bag. We were gone for almost 3 hours and no one pitched a fit!
Mr. B can be the biggest offender. After a certain amount of exposure to [...]

I enjoy classic literature. I also enjoy films based on classic literature, provided they’re well done. So I have purchased all three of the extended versions of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The other day we watched The Return of the King. A terrific movie, and I still believe Sean Astin should have had [...]

For those who were wondering how Millie would like her catnip mouse, it was a hit. We all had a lovely Christmas. BD loves her punching bag, HS has bonded with his new (to him) guitar, Mr. B is looking forward to checking out his Shop-Vac, and yours truly was shocked (pleasantly, I might add) to find a [...]

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Wishing everyone a joyous Christmas, whether you’re snowed in like us or enjoying a balmy holiday in shorts and a tee shirt.

No matter how much I love Millie, I won’t be taking this step.

Millie doesn’t ordinarily spend a whole lot of time in my closet. Today, however, she’s zipped in there every time I open the door. Then she just sits toward the back, usually looking up.
That’s what clued me in. I bought her a catnip treat for Christmas while I was out yesterday, and it’s stashed on [...]
