This is wrong, wrong, wrong. Today’s kids have no idea what this is referring to, unless their parents (ahem) saw The Breakfast Club when they were in high school. JC Penney has got to be aiming this ad at parents, not at kids. Because if they haven’t seen the movie, I imagine the kids find […]
Structural Engineering 101
I spent this weekend at the cabin, alone with the 4 boys. Rich had too much work to do at the office, so he stayed home. I don’t like going without him, but I had to take a bunch of our camping gear back up there. Also, I wanted to see if there was any […]
Litter-Bugs, Lifeguards & Severed Heads.
Litter-Bugs Let me preface this by telling you that a few weeks ago I yelled at a teenage girl who was driving like an idiot. I saw her in my rearview mirror, weaving in and out of traffic on Los Alamitos Blvd and coming up fast. She whipped around my car and ended up to […]
His mother’s son…
Setting: The dinner table. We are having fish tacos. All the fixin’s are on the table. Off to the side, there is also a plate of chocolates that Rich brought home from work… We ask Grant to say grace:“God is great, God is gurd, lettus thankem for our food. Aayy-men…. Please pass the chocolates!”
Shopping really IS an adventure.
The company that owns Linens N Things is reorganizing. The store by Mom’s house is being closed down. She called me before yesterday’s earthquake to tell me about the great deals she was getting, as the Corona store is pretty much one giant clearance sale. Great deals on tablecloths? I need some too! High thread […]
Hey Dave! Welcome to California!
You know, I’d been meaning to plan something exciting to do while Dave was here, but didn’t have any good ideas. Mother Nature took care of the excitement for me. 5.4 earthquakes centered 25 miles away make for a lively conversation topic. A little somethin’ he can tell the folks back home about! Pictures off […]
Markleeville Wrap-Up
We had an awesome trip! I’m not sure if it’s exactly what the WoJos had expected, but our trip was sure enhanced by them being there. My good friend Dave (Grant’s godfather) came along as well. I think it was his first camping trip… it was definitely his first over-night in a tent. My parents […]
Road Rage, set to music.
Dave and I just caught a matinee of Mamma Mia. All I can say is that the world would be a better place if people spontaneously burst into song and everyone magically knew the choreography. For example, I did not flip off the guy who tailgated me on the way home, even though I really […]
You can’t make this stuff up.
We’re such good neighbors! Any one of you would be darn lucky to live near us! Thursday night: We come home from camping and begin unloading perishables from the trailer with banging noises, dropping things, boys too loud and parents loudly whispering “ssshhh!” Friday: More unloading of the trailer, our washer and dryer running 24/7, […]
Road-kill is funny. Who knew?
One of my favorite Grant moments from our camping trip: Setting #1: the road into the campground – There are two chipmunks that have met an unfortunate end under the wheels of someone’s RV. We hurry past them on the way back from the creek. “Oh, poor chipmunks” as we quickly scoot Grant past the […]
