Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from our family to yours!  I spent yesterday creating a recap of our family in 2006.  We are having a quiet night at home tonight to ring in the New Year.  Football is on, and we’ll probably play a game or two with the kids.  It is nice and quiet, just how [...]

The first day of the year is coming…

I’ve never been one to make resolutions for a new year.  Well, I’ve made them.  Every single year I have the same resolutions – I’m just not good at actually carrying them out. So then, by year end, I’m full of failure.  I haven’t lost weight – I actually gained more weight.  I am still [...]

And the answers…

I actually had fun with that one – go ahead & make your own quiz.  You know you want to!  And I’m proud of you all – I actually thought some of the questions were kind of hard.  And different people know different things about me.  So, here are the answers.
1. Just about everyone who [...]

Do you know me well?

This is way too much fun to NOT post here. I could put it on my MySpace, but I think more people will see it here and MAYBE just play along. Come on, humor me, would you?

Quick Christmas Rant

The other day, I heard a commercial in the background, and they were talking about Christmas – they will deliver on Christmas Day! 
Now, here’s to all of the procrastinators out there…and just so we’re clear, I’m one of you.  If you have waited this long to send someone a Christmas gift, let it be late.  [...]

DVD players in cars

I’m going to have a wreck one of these days because of a DVD player.  And, it isn’t the one in my car that is causing my issue.  The DVD players in everyone else’s car…THAT is the problem. 
We all know that I have some issues.  Here’s another one to add to the list.  When I [...]

ARH?

That’s the sound a dog makes when they look at you and turn their head, as if to say, “Are you talking to me?” 
That is also the sound I wanted to make today when I was trying to figure out what exactly was going on at my neighbor’s house this afternoon. 
I picked the girl up [...]

To top off my week…

Things around here have been a little hectic.  We’ve had sick kids passing strep throat around, Lewis has started a new job, and it is the holidays. Thankfully, my work is flexible and I can work from home pretty much whenever I need to.  And this week I only worked one day in the office.
I [...]

Esmerelda & the Vibrator – the update

She never did confront her mom, but the vibrator bag was found tucked away in the basement.  Mom made it back home without incident.
But she knows.  And she knows that she knows. I guess that’s all that Mom really wanted.  But Esmerelda doesn’t really care that Mom knows. But Mom thinks that she does.  It [...]
