I ran into the grocery store to pick up a few things. Specifically, wine. I’m on a Petite Syrah kick right now and I bought a case that was on sale. (Oh, but what I would give to afford a daily Rombauer habit… but I digress.) A clerk helped me out to the parking lot […]
What the heck is an online Spray Paint Party?
A few weeks ago I stumbled across a blog I really like: Thrifty Decor Chick I thought, “Wow! This is awesome. Here is a girl who thinks like I do…. re-purpose, re-use, re-finish, etc.” She loves Goodwill and yard sales, and she shares my love of spray paint. Little did I know, that there is […]
Yeah, I’m cheap and easy. What of it?
~~~~~~~~UPDATED/REVISED 3/31/09~~~~~~~~~~I am so in love with Thrifty Decor Chick and the crafty blogging community, I just had to submit another post for her Spray Paint Party. I know I posted this a few weeks ago, and I’m late (again) to the party, but I liked this project and wanted to share…~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’m kind of […]
A spider by any other name is still just as creepy.
Rich is the Great Spider Killer in our house. He is my hero. Grant has the same aversion to spiders that I have, but Rich has tried to teach him that Daddy-Long-Legs spiders aren’t bad, and can actually be a bit helpful. So, if there is a Daddy-Long-Legs around, Rich tries to put it outside, […]
I can stop any time I want…
It is that time of year again. The time of year I lose all self control. As a result, I’ve suffered a debilitating injury. I have eaten so many of these Cadbury Mini-Eggs that the roof of my mouth seems to have been rubbed with a cheese-grater. You see, you can’t just chew them. You […]
Some other kid’s cute thing…
At Grant’s baseball game yesterday, one of the little kids on the other team was playing 2nd base. As one of our guys hit the ball toward him, he bent over to field it. He let the ball go by him because he spied something else on the ground and he picked that up instead. […]
He never listens when WE tell him to shut up…
Conner told us last night that there was going to be a dance after school this week, and that he wanted to go. It went a little something like this: “Um, there’s this dance after school and it’s sometime this week, either Tuesday or Wednesday or Thursday or Friday. It’s either $4 or $10 or […]
Baseball pop quiz.
Grant had another baseball game on Saturday. It was very exciting. I offer you the highlights, in multi-choice form… A coach drew a circle in the dirt to show Grant where his position was in the infield, in the hopes that he would stay somewhere near it. Did Grant….a) completely ignore what the coach said […]
Spring whining; oops, I mean cleaning.
So sorry to my pals in the Mid-West or on the East Coast, but here in SoCal, spring has sprung. (Or it’s about to…) Even if the temperature doesn’t tell the whole truth, I can tell it’s here because I get that itch to clean out closets, organize things and I want to redecorate. I […]
Check your own damn pockets or pay the price. (Which I think is about $8.50…)
My guys need to learn to be more responsible. I thought I made it perfectly clear that I am no longer reaching into people’s pockets to make sure they’re empty before throwing them in the wash. I will sort of pat the article of clothing, while shaking it upside down, but I am not reaching […]
