The Perfect Ending

I knew when I saw these for the first time. I just knew. They were an ABC after-school-special just waiting to happen. Remember those after-school-specials? Remember the one where the girl was not that cute and she was wearing glasses and frumpy clothes with not cute hair and she was super shy.  And she didn’t

I Am So Over It

I am so going on Facebook and unfriending the plumbing in our house.  Then I’m changing my status to “disappointed in you.” Plumbing….you are on notice….this relationship is officially over. I just don’t think I can be friends anymore. At this point, I am so over it. Really. I am so over leaking. I am so over drain pipes and wet

Wake Up Sleepy Head

My house slept in this morning. It was all my fault. Normally I wake it up first thing. Seriously.  And yes, you read that correctly. Not my family…..my house. Some people talk to their plants.  Some people talk to their pets. I talk to my house.

The Twirly Whirly Skirt

One of the twins had to have a twirly whirly skirt.  I guess twirly whirly skirts are alll the rage if you are nine and Hannah Montana is your fashion icon. I saw her outside one day.  Arms lifted to the sky. Blonde hair floating in the wind. With a smile on her face. And her twirly whirly skirt was

There’s a New Arrow Maker in Town

Do you remember the arrow maker? I know there were about 2.75 of you reading the blog then, but if 2.75 of you remember, I was in awe. You see, I am a hand talker.  With me there is a lot of pointing and hand-waving and excited little swoops to punctuate a really important point whenever

Can We Talk?

Can we talk? Can I interrupt your busy Saturday for just a minute? Can we talk about how I just bought this? Votivo #19. Ahhhhhh.  The hand lotion of the Gods. I mean….I love the way it smells.  I love the way it makes my hands silky soft. But silky smooth and clean smelling goodness
