A year ago today we lost our friend Donna to breast cancer. She put up an inspirational fight for 4 years and brought a community closer (and at the same time made that community bigger). I think about her every day and I am trying to live by her advice. I don’t always succeed, but […]
Beernor the No Fun
I never caught the Porn Star Name bandwagon. I did not put the name of my first pet together with the name of the street I grew up on. (Mostly because I really don’t remember my first pet.) However, when I read on another blog how to find your Viking name, I wanted to do […]
I will never complain again.
Thankfully, only 3 of these things are happening in the boys’ bathroom.I will not complain about their poor aim again…
It’s true LD, I swear!!!
My friend LaRonda sent me an email about my post on 6/25 regarding how much I hate my gym. “Really? Is it that gross?!?” (I’m paraphrasing) Answer: Yes, it really is. When sweat constantly drips on metal, the metal rusts. When equipment isn’t maintained, the equipment breaks. When custodians only clean mirrors, the rest of […]
Happy 4th… however you celebrated it.
We got out of Dodge the night of the 3rd in order to spend the holiday weekend at the cabin. Certainly not a traditional 4th of July with block parties, swimming & fireworks… but this year with everything going on with Mike, we thought keeping it low-key was a good idea.

Happy 50th Dave!!!
There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there’s only one way to wear a balloon hat. Few can pull it off.
Not to get all sappy, but….
It’s been said that if you have 5 really good friends over the course of your lifetime that you are really lucky. How lucky am I that I have pretty much had the same awesome group of friends my entire lifetime? Don’t get me wrong: I make new friends all the time. My attitude isn’t, […]
Wouldn’t Iraq be more current?
Grant is watching TV (Edward Scissorhands!?!) while strumming a ukelele and singing. His song? Veeee-it-naa-ahm. Veee-it-naa-ahm. Veee-it-naa-ahm. Veee-it-naa-ahm….. What’s up with that?
Did I step in something?
OK, my husband is watching a show on the History channel about poop. 120 minutes on the topic. (“All About Dung”… the historical significance of excrement*) (I know!) They’ve been to India to talk about sacred cow poop, to prehistoric times to discuss fossilized mammoth poop and currently the narrator (from the narrator capital of […]
