I’m Finished, I’m Finished!

Well, I actually finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows a few days ago (started Friday night at about 12:30 and ended about 3PM on Sunday), but I hadn’t been able to get on to post.  What a spectacular book and a great finish!  I’ll post some thoughts on my Book Bliss page so that [...]

On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being highest) how much do you enjoy watching sports on television? 3… I like the odd sports better ~ tough man contests and such, sometimes volleyball or soccer or golf if my children are into them.  Never football/baseball/basketball (all [...]

Can’t Believe I Did This

No kidding… I just slapped myself in the face swatting a gnat away. 
On a nicer note… it’s raining, YEAH!  The thunder has been rolling for the past hour or so and the rain comes in alternating torential downpours (short) and gentle whispers of fresh air (longer).  I love the rain.

3 Weeks and Counting ~ Or Not!

I’ve learned something new (or, at least, re-learned it):  there is no substitution for experience.  Kind of a “duh” statement, huh?  On the surface you’re going, “well sure… of course you have to experience something before you can understand it”.  It seems like such a basic kind of statement.  I guess the hard part for [...]

Or, Get Your Tissues Now, 
‘Cause You’re Going To Be Laughing So Hard You’re Crying
First, a few links for you (the things people will insist are sports):

http://www.extremeironing.com/  (um, call me crazy here, but I thought sports were supposed to be for fun and some sort of relaxation.  Ironing in any [...]

Tip Time!

Hey all!  The tips have been sadly missing for a while.  But allow me to “esplain… no, I will sum up”.  Surfing takes a lot of time!   To be true to a tip and do them justice, I feel I really need to know what I’m suggesting you read, and I just haven’t [...]

Monday Milestone

This is a tiny one… M and I shared a bag of MnM’s last night and I gave her the fe w remaining ones and the bag.  When I came back into the room she was a little frustrated that she couldn’t manage to get her little fist in the bag to get to them [...]

Day Of Rest

Yesterday was one of those rare days ~ a day of rest.  Absolutely nothing on the schedule.  I don’t usually get those days.  Or maybe I should say that I don’t usually take them.  As is my want, I wake up to a blissfully non-harried day in front of me and promptly start filling it.  [...]

Who is someone you consider as a great role model?  haven’t a clue… I don’t really have any role models, being Christian I do aspire, but I think that is a different question.  I suppose if there was anybody I would want my children [...]

Fun and Funny!

The swimming pool was great!  It wasn’t as large as I had pictured it, but it was definitly large enough.  Two big slides, a water mushroom, a tiny lazy river and a whirl pool.  Plus there was a deep indoor pool with diving boards.  Man was that water cold!  Surely I’m quite happy to be saying [...]

A Quick Update!

Ahhh! The hum of a computer, the glare of a screen.  Ahhh…  My white knight (S) rode in and saved his Momma today.  Gosh, you gotta love that child!  Had something like 31 Trojans and viruses on this thing.  “Well no wonder I’m shuttin’ down every 5 seconds!!  Duh!”  S ran a downloadable trial version [...]

Subsequent things…

Oh, the joy!  Oh the rapture!  To have constant access to a computer and the internet!  I am hopelessly, haplessly in love with the internet and I am shouting it to the world!  Now to cram every ounce of time in while I can AND get some special time in with just my littlest AND [...]

Monday Milestones

Well, I’m on a borrowed computer (thanks Mom) and am trying to get my addiction in this morning! LOL
First things first:  M’s milestone is, of course, last weeks Fourth of July fireworks.  The last two years’ displays were kind of lost on her… she was still too little.  This year, though, was the determining year… [...]
