I’ve been reading a great book. The kind I can’t read in the same room as my husband because he keeps asking me what I’m laughing at. Kind of odd, since the book is about Armageddon.
Anyway, the authors (yes, it took two people to write this) are apparently quite fond of a word [...]
I’m temporarily avoiding my favorite Target because they’re remodeling.
My backup has been a nearby Meijer. It’s a superstore, which can be overwhelming when you only need a couple of things. And they never have enough checkout lines open. But I figured I could handle it in the interim.
At some point, I must [...]
Buzz has decreed it, so it is Blog It Forward Day. The idea is to pick one or more of your favorite reads from your blogroll and explain why they’re so readable. Provide a link to share the wealth, as it were. Obviously, if someone’s on my blogroll, I feel that they’re [...]
BD: Can I have my allowance?
Me: Sure.
BD: Can we go to the grocery store now?
Me: What for?
BD: I want to buy a magazine.
Me: What’s is called?
BD: Tiger Beat
Holy cow! I used to read that when I was her age. I had no idea they still published it.
But what does BD want with a magazine about David [...]
HS arrived home from college last week and announced that he had made the 200 mile trip on 1/8 of a tank of gas. In a 1997 Plymouth with a 16 gallon tank. To those of you who might be math-impaired, that’s 100 MPG.
He’s now driven about 400 miles and the fuel gauge shows half-full. While [...]
Not much going on except a commitment at school and beautiful weather calling me outside. So I’m posting a picture I took last month on spring break. Aren’t they adorable? For the record, the baby was really asleep. BD was posing.
(Sad to say, the adorable picture is gone, per BD’s request).
I was writing a very clever post, hit some wrong key and blew it away. I don’t think I’ll redo it.
Okay, it wasn’t really all that clever, and not worth retyping.
So I’ll just let you know that we are very thankful that last night’s leak wasn’t as bad as the plumber thought and the repair [...]
It’s important in every marriage to carve time out for yourselves. Many marriage experts recommend a weekly date night. I’m waiting for my date now.
Oh, wait. Is the date supposed to be with your spouse?
Mine, once again, is with the plumber. This time we have a leak in the water main [...]
Stiff back needs stretching
Getting old is hard on me
Need to find Aleve
Or maybe it’s in the water, but something strange is going on around here. I’ll just list the evidence:
The other day I took down all our window screens, hosed them off, and washed the windows.
With no prompting, BD cleaned her room the other day.
I ran the vacuum twice in one week.
I came home to find HS [...]
