Four years ago, I came home from my second job to see this wriggly little puppy whining in a kennel. He quickly became mine and Steve's baby. We spoil him. Every morning, he gets part of Steve's egg. Every evening, he gets a couple pieces of the meat du jour. We take him on a... Continue Reading →
My blog is no big deal: my viewing public isn't so huge that my website is going to crash from all the traffic I get anytime soon. But the few blog followers I do have happen to be the people I see frequently in real life. Which is really limiting my blogging options. I can't... Continue Reading →
Do you remember when I said I'd love to pick around 12 business or so to stick in a plaza near my home so I'd never have to leave this mile radius? Well, I had some extra time on my hands.If you could stick this on the NE corner of 156th/Harrison, I'd be very grateful.... Continue Reading →
At Matt and Emily's wedding reception two weeks ago, my youngest suitor, 4-year-old Mason, went onto the dance floor, grabbed the microphone and dedicated Owl City's "Fireflies" to me. But instead of singing, "I'd like to make myself believe" he belts out "bleed" and makes the juvenille ditty sound like a song about suicide.Here are... Continue Reading →
Not that I think it's going to happen, but in the spirit of preparedness, I have asked Steve what would happen if I suddenly dropped dead. Would he date, then propose to, then marry someone else? He would definitely be a catch. I have written him a match.com profile to use in the event that... Continue Reading →
I've never been on a cruise. I'd like to, but I haven't. Regardless, I feel like I know what it's like to be on one: it's like when there is a family wedding. I hear on cruises there's always something to do: different activities going on that you flit from one to the next. This... Continue Reading →
I've been participating in Six Word Saturday for a few weeks now. It was born after Cate read "Not Quite What I was planning" which is a collection of six-word memoirs inspired by Ernest Hemingway's now notorious six-word story, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn." So of course I had to buy the book. I... Continue Reading →
Goodbye may seem forever Farewell is like the end But in my heart is a memory And there you'll always be -old lady singing on "Fox and the Hound" Today was my last day with my employer part deux. It all felt a little like déjà vu this morning, well wishing over baked goods and... Continue Reading →
This afternoon, my husband stumbled in from last night's bachelor party, his sunglasses on. I immediately demanded he take them off so I could see what he was covering up. I was expecting a black eye, but it was just his eyes squinted nearly shut. He regaled me with stories of their drunken PG-13 shenanigans.... 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 →
