Porter, correct and forgive me if my memories are mistaken. Way back when, my little brother, Porter, was a video games editor and writer for Amazon.com. 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 [...]

My Nana passed away 25 years ago this evening. March 15th, 1986 held the ultimate highs and lows for me. 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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m up at 2:30am because I woke up realizing I’d forgotten to write an email to David’s teacher like I promised. The email has since been written and I realized at I looked at my “signature” in my email program that this blog is listed, which reminded me I haven’t posted in a while. Life [...]

I’m sitting here listening to the umpteenth rain storm of the Summer. But for some reason this one reminded me of my Dad…I don’t know if it’s because it was loud or what exactly it was that jogged the memory, but it did. I’ve always loved rainstorms…the louder the better, the more lightening the better, [...]
