Some kind friends invited us to spend a day at their lake cabin tomorrow. All we need to bring are some drinks and a side dish or two.
Being way too busy to cook (or even shop), I asked Mr. B to stop at Kroger on the way home. I told him to pick [...]

Yesterday afternoon I got a call from BD. She had left school right at dismissal time with the sixth grade field hockey team to serve as a goalie coach for their first game (she has made amazing progress this year and is now the main goalie for the A team). In the rush to leave, [...]

When I got home from running errands, I unloaded the grocery bags, then sat down quickly to make sure I didn’t need to renew any of my library books online.
Then I checked my e-mail.
Then I ran through my Blogroll, leaving plenty of clever comments.
I also ordered a numeric keypad for my laptop.
I even did a couple [...]

Even though it was set right in my era, I only saw a few episodes of “The Wonder Years.” HS was a big fan when it was was in reruns, though, and apparently had quite the crush on Winnie Cooper, played by Danica McKellar. Heck, I was so clueless about her that I thought Ms. [...]

Last night, Mr. B and I were sitting on the porch after BD had gone to bed. No one stuck his head out the door to ask, “Tea?” Guitar chords were not gently strummed in another room. The washer and dryer were resting up after a very busy day. No cell phone rang, treating us [...]

I saw this at Ms. Mac’s right after I wrote yesterday’s post, so I just had to do it.
What are you reading now?
Just started The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, Vol. I by Dianna Wynne Jones, a fantasy that a friend lent me. That’s by my bed. Getting ready to read Luncheon of the Boating Party by Susan Vreeland. [...]

I just read an article that blew me away.
One in four Americans read no books last year. Zero. Squat. Nada.
And of those that did read, the average number of books read in a year was seven.
I probably average that many in a month. I often have two or three going at [...]

Having been vanquished by a window, Bootsies is apparently seeking other means of entertainment (or lunch).

Well, probably not. I just received one of those standard spam messages from some stranger wanting to transfer $15.5 million to me.
This one, however, was a little nervewracking in that it was personalized. The subject heading had both my maiden and married names, and the body of the text refers to someone in the UK [...]

Although this is still his official permanent residence, HS hasn’t been home for more than a few weeks at a time in over three years.
Much as we love having him around, his visits can be a bit of a trial.
While I have never claimed to be a good housekeeper, my clutter is as nothing compared [...]
