As the fourth of sixth children (and third of four girls), I wore my share of hand-me-downs growing up. I can’t say I dreaded them, but it wasn’t something I really appreciated.
While he was home, HS cleaned out his closet and left me a stack of clothes for our church consignment sale. I’m afraid he [...]

Not owning an iPod, I don’t really have a “playlist.” But BamaMom tagged me to list five of my favorite songs, and since I didn’t know what I’d post about today anyway, I thought I’d do it right away instead of stalling a few days like I usually do with tags.
Hmmm, how to pick [...]

I caught the end of the Little League World Series last night. I haven’t really paid much attention since 2002, when a team from Louisville won the whole thing.
This final pitted Hawaii against Curacao. Hawaii came out of the U.S.’s Northwest bracket, which tells you that the Little League officials might want to brush up [...]

Yeah, men, this isn’t one you necessarily want to read.
Okay, ladies, have the men all left yet?
This week I went in for my mammogram. I must say that the experience wasn’t any more pleasant than I remembered. And despite my recent growth spurt, at one point I was up on my tip-toes.
I reassured myself with [...]

I grew up in a small village in the Finger Lakes in upstate New York. Except for being right on one of the most beautiful lakes God ever created, it had a pretty typical downtown. A couple of banks, a post office, a few clothing stores, two pharmacies, a hardware store (complete with [...]

Today I don’t have to go anywhere until a meeting at church at 6 PM.
Once upon a time, I’d have been tempted to run a few errands while BD’s at school. The price of gas is making me think twice about any unnecessary trips in the car. So I’m staying home today.
I’m beginning to think [...]

We took HS back to college on Sunday. The problem is that he wasn’t home long enough this summer to get on our nerves, so I wasn’t ready to say good-bye again.
I don’t think he was, either. He invited me to ride down with him instead of going in the minivan with Mr. B and BD. [...]

…is seriously interfering with my blogging time. Here I’ve finally got both kids back in school and I have less time than I did before.
Go figure.

BD started school on Wednesday, so we decided we should have some fun family time on Tuesday. Mr. B, HS and I all wanted to see March of the Penguins. BD, for some reason, wasn’t that interested in seeing a documentary about emperor penguins and their breeding habits. We took her anyway, assuring her that she’d [...]

Our computer is between the family room and the kitchen. We purposely moved it to a high traffic area a couple of years ago when we went to broadband. The main reason was so we could keep an eye on what areas of the Internet the kids were surfing.
An added benefit was easy access for [...]
