You know how when you’re wrapping presents you get all of those odd pieces of wrapping paper or little scraps of ribbon left over? I hate to waste anything and Conner hates to have ribbons and knots keep him from his gift, so I thought of the perfect way to use up my extras and […]

Mom…? There’s wolves in my room…
…can I sleep in your bed? This is what happens when a child appears at the side of your bed and, half asleep, you haul him up and toss him in the middle of your king size bed. The middle disappears. Who got the best night of sleep? a) Daddy b) Grant c) Mommy The […]
Elements of style. Or the lack thereof.
Conner and I were wrapping presents. I take my time and try to make it pretty. He is all thumbs. (And he can use a whole roll of wrapping paper and a mile of tape to wrap a DVD.) I tried to show him how to take ribbon and make a bow. He says thanks […]
Best. Store. Ever.
I just got back from a Fresh & Easy shopping trip. I love that their sale items are fresher and more beautiful than what normal grocery stores have on their best days. Today, for $100, I got 9 pounds of fresh jumbo shrimp 18 filets of fresh Atlantic salmon 12 pounds of tangerines* 2 pounds […]
Happy birthday, dear Hitler….
What!? Shocked? Not as shocking as an idiot couple in PA who named their son Adolf Hitler Campbell.They are mad because the local supermarket bakery would not put the child’s entire name on the cake. Ultimately, good ole Wal-Mart came to the rescue and Lil’ Hitler got his cake. Why would you name a child […]
Just ew.
Ew. I have photos on flickr.com. Most of the are restricted so that only friends and family can see them. Several I had to list as “public” so I could access them from another site. I was on flickr today and noticed that someone had left comments about my photos. It was another mom who […]
I’m not a she-she-la-la kind of girl.
I didn’t like the color pink for most of my life. I love it now. If it’s pink in this household, it may as well be radioactive… the boys won’t touch my iPod, my hairbrush, my toothbrush, my jacket, etc…. Pink is a great defense mechanism at my house. I was a tomboy growing up. […]
Here ya go Tony. A dead deer.
My husband shot a deer. It was his first deer and he got him on the very last day of hunting season, about 2 miles from our cabin. It was a big deal for him (and for the deer.) I have deer liver in the freezer at the cabin and I have 60 pounds of […]
The Lord of the Coconuts.
After last week’s coconut craziness, Devin got a lecture about responsibility, and we got an explanation as to why he is bringing a coconut to school. His English class is reading The Lord Of The Flies and they have divided up into teams and are playing a type of trivia game based on the book. […]
Memorabilia retrieval doesn’t pay.
Like Al Capone busted for income tax evasion, I don’t care which crime gets OJ Simpson sent to jail. I’m just glad he’s going. Asshole.
