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 […]
My freezer is in the Bermuda Triangle today.
Are you frikkin’ kidding me?!
Perfect timing!
I had hoped I was just tired and that this was a hallucination. Sadly, no. No it wasn’t. Ever seen what happens when you try to quickly chill beers in the freezer and then forget about them? Now you have. The worst part? I’m the one who put them in and forgot them in there. […]
I wanted you to use clean clothes!
The directions: Get dressed please. Two great ways to tell if your child fished yesterday’s clothes out of his laundry hamper: Pizza sauce and chocolate on the shoulder of the shirt, from where he wiped his mouth at dinner last night. Shorts are on inside out, and are so dirty you can see the dirt […]
