I was friended on Facebook by my nephew Andrew. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Andrew (he will always be Andy to me…but as a 31 year old man he prefers Andrew), so I was pleasantly surprised to get his friend request. The timing was great because I had just relayed a funny story [...]

Yesterday was a blah day. Not bad,but not great either, just kinda blah. I just felt drained! Didn’t even do much for dinner. Just heated up some brats and opened a bag of chips. After I got my plate made, I started towards the bedroom. Brian asked where I was going and I told him [...]

Part of his job was to play all the new video games that were coming out and he would write about them on Amazon. With that said, Porter had [...]

We had an impromptu dinner party tonight. “Dinner Party” is probably the wrong word, but it was fun nonetheless. I had to work at the grocery store today, and Brian had the day off. I knew Brian and David would probably be in the store around 3pm to plan dinner. You see, the Saturdays that [...]

The day started out with a phone call that my best friend had had her baby…a darling little red-headed little guy. This was still in the days when the hospitals still only allowed the immediate [...]

My baby is 12! Really?? Already??? Actually he turned 12 last Tuesday, on the 28th. We didn’t all get together to celebrate it with cake and ice cream until today though. Dude got the iPod Touch he’d been wanting. He only asked for two things, a PS3 and an iPod Touch like mine. I told [...]

Thanksgiving is not my favorite holiday. Why, you ask…well, I truly try to be grateful/thankful every day. My birthday is in the vicinity of Thanksgiving so it was usually “celebrated” on Thanksgiving. I’m not fond of turkey and all the trimmings. And, in all honestly, I have some unpleasant memories of Thanksgivings growing up. Last [...]

Basketball season is upon us once again. This season, seems shorter than last season…thankfully! Last season we did a lot of driving around in the bitter cold with lots of snow on the ground! This year David is doing so much better. He’s understanding the mechanics and nuances of the game much better and [...]

It’s time for my annual bitch about “Hunting Season”…only it’s hard to complain about something my son and husband have been enjoying doing together. Yes, I said my son. My almost 12 year old son would be the dude on the right and yes, he has a gun in his hand. That is counter-intuitive to [...]
