Year in Review

Here for the fourth (and last) time, I present Bluegrass Mama’s Year in Review, featuring the first sentence from the first post of each month.  I even provide a link, so you can re-read the post in its entirety, and relive the joy you felt the first time you shared that exciting occasion with me.
Or [...]

Oops

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I think my blogging career is about over. I had planned to go out with my traditional “Year in Review” post where I show the first sentence from the first post of each month.
But somehow I missed posting in November, so the review would seem somehow [...]

Caving In

I swore I wouldn’t turn on the heat yet. After all, when the sun comes out and pours in through the back of the house in the morning, we warm right up! However, today is not as sunny as they promised, and my fingers were getting numb, so the heat is now on. [...]

Name Calling

I couldn’t help it. Even with BD in the car, I called another driver a bad name.

Cross Training

I was appalled recently to realize that Mr. B still doesn’t know how to use the new washer we got back in January.
Then again, I still don’t know how to use the riding mower we got back in 2001.

Good Intentions

I managed to lose 10 pounds in the months before the wedding. I did it the old fashioned way, by eating less and exercising more. I figured lunch was over-rated as a meal option.
Truthfully, I like all three meals. But after falling off the wagon post-wedding, I am trying to get back on [...]

Status Update

I am now a mother-in-law.
More details to follow in a few days when I’ve caught my breath!

That Giant Leap

40 years ago tonight, the whole family (as near as I can recall, anyway), gathered in my parents’ bedroom to watch the moon landing on their little 13″ black and white TV.   To this day,  I don’t know why we didn’t watch it on the  downstairs television (also B&W, but with a larger screen), but [...]
