I went back today for those onion rings. And a cheeseburger.
And in case you’re wondering about the ellipse in the title, it’s because the full quote is “Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs 16:18). Thus ends today’s Scripture lesson.

I went to Costco today for three things. I bought those three items, and only those. I got out of there for less than $30.
Mr. B & I then went to Dairy Queen for lunch. I did not get any fries or their wonderful onion rings. I even had them cut down on the mayonnaise on [...]

This morning I walked to the end of the driveway to get the newspaper and bring in the trash can.
I’ll probably walk out there again later to bring in the mail.
Other than that, I am not planning to go ANYWHERE today.
That’s a good thing.

Mr. B: Son, I think there’s something wrong with that CD by The Who you gave me for Christmas. I can’t get it to play on my car stereo.
HS: Dad, that’s a DVD.
Mr. B: Oh, I guess that explains it, then.

We often joke that we can tell that BD is the only one in the family who was actually born in Kentucky by her aversion to shoes.
This morning, as is often the case, she was running a little late. She always dresses before she comes downstairs for breakfast, but her feet are bare. Somehow, the time [...]

The night your husband is out of town on business is probably not the optimal time to stay up late reading a book about a girl who’s held hostage by robbers who found her home alone during a break-in.

Not much going on in the Bluegrass household to provide blog fodder.
Sometimes that’s a good thing. Earlier in the week I was busy planning a post about the crankiness of 12 year olds. Then she de-cranked. Yes, I know it (the uncrankiness) is a temporary phenomenon, but humor me.
Of course, I could regale you with [...]

(NOTE: Today’s “Thought for the Day” is courtesy of Mr. B.)
If your daughter is being a pill about going to bed and you’re about to tell her “Don’t raise such a fuss,” be careful about changing your mind mid-sentence and trying to switch to “Don’t raise such a ruckus.” The result will not be pretty [...]

For a kid who drank at least one 20-ounce soda every day of his sophomore year of high school, HS has become quite the healthy eater. Oatmeal for breakfast every morning, often with a carrot chaser. If we were out of salad for his afternoon snack, he’d cook a bowl of mixed vegetables. Instead of reaching for [...]

BD is having a slumber party sleepover tonight for her birthday. Since I am not completely crazy (I’m obviously a little crazy, having said yes in the first place), she only invited 6 girls, two of whom can’t come. The music is already blaring in the basement. Dance, Dance Revolution, “How to Eat Fried Worms” and Mad Gab [...]
