I did it!

So I finished Nablopomo.  Yay for me!  I’m glad I did it – but it was a lot of pressure to think of something to post EVERY DAY.  Now with Christmas approaching, I don’t think I’ll be able to post every day – but I will post if I have something I really WANT to [...]

a lovely evening, until…

So, Kris and I were out tonight – having a perfectly nice time at one of our favorite restaurants, when we’re approached by one of the waitresses.  She’s a friend of ours that we haven’t seen in a long time, and we’re catching up – talking about our kids, exchanging numbers, general chitchat. This continues [...]

But if you’ve had enough family time – here are a few clips from my [...]

This is so cool.  I love the reactions of the white folks…

You know what’s in the air tonight around here?  
PUMPKIN PIE!  Yummy…
Have a great Thanksgiving y’all!

Snoopy vs. Lawn Chair

I’ll never forget the first time Cooper saw this.  He must have been around 3 years old, and he absolutely lost it over this scene.  He couldn’t stop laughing – which caused me and Kris to lose it as well.  Now Coop and Ty both get a serious case of the giggles over it.  Their [...]

#918 When you’re really tired and about to fall asleep and someone throws a blanket on you

“Hey, you know what’s even better than taking a nap on the couch? Well, I’ll tell you: that feeling you get just before you fall asleep on the couch.
Yes, that’s when you enter that blissful, semi-conscious Pre-Nap World where your thoughts float and zoom [...]

Twilight

Well, here goes.  Confession time…
No, I’m not a 13 year old, but yes – I LOVE TWILIGHT.  It all started with the books (I’m on the 3rd one).  I know, I know – they’re technically “young adult”.  Whatever.  Also, they’re pretty easy reads.  But isn’t this OK once in a while?  Everything can’t be War [...]
