In the past, BD has dressed up as a witch for Halloween (at least three times). She’s been Morticia Addams. She’s been a “goth Princess.”
You get the picture.
This year, though, she bought fairy wings. And pink polka dot tights. And a brightly colored sombrero. And a couple of pastel boas. Apparently black is out.
Except for [...]

Mr. B and I happened to be at a large warehouse store a few weeks ago, picking up exciting things like giant containers of grated Parmesan cheese and four-packs of toothpaste.
We saw a bag of Halloween candy. A really big bag of Halloween candy. A really big bag of all my favorite Halloween candy (Snickers, [...]

Funny how the powers-that-be let the World Series go on under unplayable rain conditions last night until the Tampa Bay Rays tied up the score in the top of the 6th, then decided to suspend the game. Granted, much as I hope the Phillies win, I would not want to see the Series determined by [...]

This weekend we took a trip to the western part of the Commonwealth to visit with HS’s future in-laws.
LDIL’s mom, who is much more organized than I can ever hope to be, had been kind enough to scope out a few possible venues for the rehearsal dinner, so the main goals of the weekend were [...]

The tree that Hurricane Ike left in our driveway is gone, except for a few logs still waiting to be moved. The tree company I called the day of the storm never did call me back. However, a friend with a chainsaw came by that very day and cleared enough limbs to give us room [...]

The home heating season has official begun Chez Bluegrass.
Of course, the family might have preferred it if I’d turned it on when I got up this morning and realized it was only 63 degrees in the house. However, we have a heat pump, and raising it more than a degree or so at [...]

Game 5 of the National League Championship Series featuring Mr. B’s beloved Phillies, or the final presidential debate? Some people may consider that a tough choice. I figure that with the election almost three weeks away, the game is much more time-sensitive.
I don’t have a DVR, but our old VCR is handling the candidates while [...]

I had a scary dream last night.
In this dream, Mr. B and I were the proud parents of a darling baby boy.
The odd thing was that I wasn’t quite sure where this baby had come from.
Fortunately, I found his story written up in our local paper. Apparently, we had adopted one of a pair of [...]
