I’m All Giggly!

I just got a notification that DadGoneMad is now following me on Twitter.  Teeheehee!  I think I’m blushing.  

The Best Laid Plans

I really had wonderful plans to blog and do my own version of a recap of this season’s episodes of Top Chef. However, since the invention of the DVR, I never watch shows when they are actually on. Well, sometimes, but not often anyway.
So, for my own personal enjoyment, I am going to [...]

Honesty from the Elderly

We had a great time celebrating my grandmother’s 85th birthday this weekend.  It was great to see those family members you only see once or twice a year.

The Ongoing Saga

So, back to the dentist I went today. The plan was to finish the root canal and get me set up for the crown. Yippee! I also would get a referral to a specialist for a root canal I need on an upper molar, that this dentist cannot do. Progress is [...]

Pain Sucks

Yes, I am still here. No, I haven’t posted in several days. I have made it to work almost every day in the last two weeks, although most days I just want to say in bed all day.
Pain sucks.
Literally, it sucks the life out of you. I have been drained and tired [...]

Why are Kids So Darn Funny?

I have two funny kid stories to share today. One involves my son, and sadly is not the funniest of the stories. The other was told to my husband over this past weekend. I’d love to credit the grandmother who told the story, but I have no idea who she is. [...]

I was reading a post by my good friend Alan the other day over at his “Blogging Station” and it got me to thinking about nostalgia and reliving the past.
I am a child of the 80’s and am proud to admit it. Several years ago, when I was first married to my first husband, [...]
