It happens every year

Winter turns to spring.
The sun shines.
The flowers bloom.
The flip flops…uh…flop.
It’s 70 and 80 degrees in the shade all week.
Two weeks even.
So you wash all the coats, the hats and the mittens, even the scarves because you’re just that good.
You put it all away for next winter.
You go through all the summer clothes and hang them [...]

My life in random bullet points in a lame attempt to start writing again.

At least I tell it like it is, right?

I’ve declared May “get rid of it” month. I’m planning to use our local recycle center, freecycle, Craig’s list, Ebay, and Amazon (just to mix it up a little) to get rid of things we have no need for anymore. I was going to use our “waste [...]

If you say so…

S was getting out of the car this afternoon.
“I didn’t bring my coat.” he volunteered.
“That’s good.” I said.
Because it’s 70 degrees and you don’t need one? I didn’t say.
“Because I think the world looks hot. That’s why.” he said.

Did ya miss me?

I went to a wedding (“Charismatic guy” got married!) on Saturday. I left on Friday evening and spent the night with one of my best friends and her daughter.
As I was packing to leave, C asked me what I was doing. I told him I was going away for a night and I’d be home [...]

Bigger by the week

I had an idea for a blog post about three weeks ago.
I even took pictures for it.
And then…
then I got lazy busy. (That’s it. I was busy. That sounds so much better than lazy.) I still have the pictures, but they’re kind of out of date now.
See, I saw this book at the library.

I got [...]

I’m a really good spellar too.

There’s a good article over at Amy’s Humble Musings about “How to be humble…like me.”
So, that got me thinking of great spoof blog titles, like:
-How to be perfect…just like me.
-This is my really funny blog.
-I’m a good writer. I have this blog, don’t I? ( or You can read this blog, can’t you?)

-The Perfect [...]

Five random unimportant things about me and one that’s…not.

I mean, it is random and totally unimportant but it’s just, well, not true.
Here you go: Winners all around.
1. By the time I got to high-school, I had so many warts on my legs and hands that my Doctor couldn’t even count them all. I had them all removed, with no scars, though I usually [...]

Six random unimportant things about me

I’ve never done a meme before. No one’s ever tagged me. (sob!)
But Jamie says that my fame and fortune will increase if I do this meme, and I thought, hey, why not?
I could use the money. (I need a rug for my living room.)
So, here are six random, highly unimportant things about me:
1. By the [...]

We got nothin’. (Baby names update)

Someone recently commented on my Baby Names post and I thought maybe I should give you an update.
We still aren’t going to find out what we’re having (before the birth) so we need to come up with both a boy’s name and a girl’s name.
When I first asked for baby names, I only asked for [...]

The best malapropism the boys have ever used…

So there’s this Transformer named Optimus Prime.
The kids call him “Octopus Crime”.
I have never corrected them.
They probably wonder why I always laugh when they say it, though.
