Extra Day

Busy Mom posted about Leap Day this morning, mentioning the teasing that people with this birthday take. Friends of ours were expecting a baby today, and he was born yesterday. I’m still wondering which would be the better birthday.
I’ve always found this day to be special. A bonus day, if you [...]

Wordless Wednesday: Extreme Makeover, Bathroom Edition

Ice Age

At the rate I’m going, I may need to add another category called “Weather.” February 2008 has brought at least one big weather “event” per week. On Thursday, we had a nasty ice storm. Schools let out as early as 10 AM, and most were still closed on Friday.

2001 – The Year That Wasn’t

When HS was a baby, a friend gave me a photo album covered with Christmas fabric. For some long-forgotten reason, she had decided to call him “Ace,” and had that embroidered on the album. I decided to keep it as a photo record of his Christmases. The album itself was one of [...]

Having seen a lot of local (and even national) coverage of the [...]

Play Ball!

As for that “other” baseball story, all I know for sure is that someone must be committing perjury.  My guess is that we may never be sure [...]

Thank Goodness It’s Finally Over

Rumor has it that Hollywood writers were on strike for three months and people were getting upset because there were no new episodes of their favorite shows
I can’t say it really impacted my world. My TV viewing is more affected by the unfortunate addition of ESPNU, which airs a lot of games I would [...]
