After a rare, delicious dinner out at Taco Surf (the out is rare, not the delicious); the family was piled in the car coming home. A few blocks from the restaurant, a chorus of “eeeeewwwww” came from the back seats. Melodramatic coughing sounds and cries to roll down the windows. Boys…. That means farts are […]
Really? Why?
Grant: a) disapproves of the current furniture arrangement. b) is really cold and opted for couch cushions instead of a blanket. c) can’t leave a tidy room, well… tidy. d) There is no rhyme or reason to the things Grant does. You know the answer.
Maybe there is a butterfly rehab program.
It’s a beautiful day. It’s 5:00 and it’s 75 degrees with a barely perceptible breeze. Birds are chirping, bees are buzzing and butterflies are flitting about. Ah, spring. Lets spray paint something!! I dragged out several of my old frames and my trusty can of “Canyon Black” and began my ugly old frame transformation. As […]
Mom of the Year? Me? pffft. Not!
I need to get a parenting blunder off of my chest. There have been so many, but this is the one that truly bugs me the most. Chinese food and bad words: A few years ago we were all hurrying and scurrying around because the elementary school’s Open House was that evening. Knowing that the […]
Art from old wood and an old cow…?
~~~~ Updated July 2, 2009 for the Writer’s Workshop at Mama’s Losin’ It. The prompt is to show something I made. Here ya go.~~~~~ I am a compulsive picture frame buyer. I cannot help myself. I also buy matting, photo paper, and have so many digital photos stored that we needed to get a back-up […]
Snow, Barf & Easter Eggs. Oh my.
A day or two late, our Easter summary. We did not have a traditional Easter Weekend this year. On Good Friday we went back up the hill for a weekend at the cabin (shower floors to cement in, pipes to be set, etc…) Lo and behold… snow. Just an inch or two, but I got […]
May I give you a little advice? No? I’m going to anyway.
Every Monday, Kasey at All That Is Good has a post called Friend Making Monday. The idea for today’s post is to list the best advice you have ever received. I don’t know that I’ve ever had an “ah-ha” moment where someone dispensed advice and I took it. You know, the kind of advice where […]
Pee My Pants, Part 2.
I do not get tongue-tied and stupid when I see a celebrity. (Tongue-tied and stupid? Yes. But because of a celebrity? Never!) I live in the L.A. area. My best friend is in the business. I’ve seen’ em around. Celebrities are often a) idiots; b) arrogant jackholes; or, c) quite boring. (And sometimes the perfect […]
My mental powers are not making my jeans fit any better…
Summer is coming. (Those of you in North Carolina don’t believe it, but I swear it’s true.) That means bathing suit time is here. I live 10 minutes from the beach and the people in this house will be expecting me to take them there pretty soon. I let my gym membership lapse (click here […]
Put another log on the fire and hang some drywall, would you please.
This? This is the way I usually feel at our cabin. Ahhh. Total relaxation. (And yes, I know the carpet is disgusting, but we can’t replace until we finish the remodeling projects…. ) (And it matches the dog. ) This trip wasn’t family time, movies, popcorn, puzzles, etc. We. Did. Work. Since I wasn’t my […]
