This is my alter-ego! LOL (“laughing out loud” in “text-speak”) My darling son, David, loves to watch Cartoon Network. One night while watching “Total Drama Island” (think a cartoon spoof of Survivor with teenagers – it’s hysterical!) I watched a commercial for an online game called “Wizard 101″. Loving anything along those lines (fantasy/sci-fi), I [...]

I’ve been by myself all day. David spent the night with Mimi last night and then called first thing this morning to ask if he could stay again tonight. Normally I probably would have said no, but relented because here at home he misses his Dad. So I’ve spent the day doing stuff around the [...]

Yesterday was a “Teacher Prep” day for the whole district, so David and Cameron were both out of school. I wanted to see “Inkheart”, but the boys both rallyed for “Paul Blart”. I’d heard enough from other parents to now it was funny enough that adults were going without the kids to see it. So [...]

Brian is moving to North Dakota day after tomorrow. Originally he was going to leave today, but in all his preparations, he pulled some muscles that have forced him to slow down a bit. I’m having a harder time dealing with it than I anticipated. I haven’t wanted to leave his side a whole lot [...]

As I sit upstairs catching up on my blogging. I hear the vaccuum going. It’s been good to have Brian home…he’s been getting a lot of those little things done around the house that you usually ignore…like the dust on fan blades, bleaching the grout on the counter, fixing the pull-out shelf in the pots-and-pans [...]

At some point on January 1st I discovered there was a “Twilight Zone” Marathon on the Sci-Fi channel. It wasn’t until much later in the evening that I actually sat down to watch it. It was during one of the commercial breaks that I discovered that they have put the whole Twilight Zone series on [...]

Last January 1st I had every intention of starting a blog to document kind of a “Day in the Life”…only it would be a “Photo of the Day”. My plan was to take a picture every day…it didn’t necessarily need to document my life, it was more of an impetus to get me carrying the [...]
