I'm the woman of the houseWhenever the doorbell rings, I get excited as if it's going to be my friends coming over to play. I should move on. As an adult, the only people who ring the doorbell are moochers who want something from you. But I still answer the door. I'm nostalgic and apparently... Continue Reading →
I found an old blog post stashed away in a notebook full of things I wrote once upon a time. I'm into that kind of thing - trips down memory lane, that is. This was back when my blog was on my myspace, if that says anything. This was before I was married, when I... Continue Reading →
First things first: a winner has been hand picked from Saturday's giveaway. Literally, hand picked. I put some names in a bowl and had Steve draw one once he walked in the door tonight. So you all know this is completely fair and unbiased (but who knows, maybe I made some slips of paper bigger... Continue Reading →
It's about time for a giveawayIn the four days I was away, Spring sprung at my house. I returned to a (mostly) green lawn and my buds blossomed. Remember a couple weeks ago when I asked if anyone knew what these were?Well, they turned into these:Whoever you are, Anonymous, that identified them, reveal yourself and... Continue Reading →
I consider myself independent. My entire childhood and adolescence was spent around the same people and as a result, I was forced to remain the same person.

I can finally say, "for business."Not that they ask anymore, but back in the day, when you traveled via air, they asked the purpose of your flight, "business or pleasure?" I remember as a teenager wanting to add a third option of "mission trip" because I really wasn't sure which category that fell into. Anyway,... Continue Reading →
Confession: I like Pink. Not the color, but the pop rock girl that acts dikey but has a husband (or an ex-husband, I'm not completely sure). I know everyone hates her, so it might surprise you that I closetedly (up until this point) enjoy her. I know, I know, I hate everything. Not Pink. When... Continue Reading →
Tonight, we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for what used to be 25¢ wings. It wasn't that long ago: I was in college. Well, this shows you how out of control inflation has become: wings now cost 45¢ each. As a special price on Tuesday nights only. I am becoming that old woman who says... Continue Reading →
I was making copies at work the other day. I work in a very large facility full of all types of people. On this particular day, a woman came up to me and asked if I could hitch up my pants so she could further admire my shoes. So I obliged (and after that, I... Continue Reading →
