Okay, just a couple of things to be proud of myself for today: 1) I finally got a “Have you no shame?” comment on a post! Okay, so it wasn’t actually posted in the comments, it was just uttered to me in disbelief. Alright, alright, so it was my mother. Still, I think that must [...]

The week where I burn stuff…
Posted in Craziness, Life on March 16, 2007 | 15 Comments »
…and, no, not in a pyro kinda way. That was last week. Seems that I haven’t been able to attempt something new this week without burning the crap out of it or otherwise somehow ruining it at least once. Exhibit A: Chicken Parmesan And let me tell you, the house smelled soooo pretty. I did [...]
In Memory: Chief Illiniwek 1926-2007
Posted in Ah...memories, Craziness, Momentous Occasions on February 22, 2007 | 9 Comments »
Tonight Last night marked the final presentation of Chief Illiniwek, the latest symbol to fall victim of the pc wave that is sweeping the nation. I don’t get the point. Really. I know that there are symbols out there whose sole purpose is to make fun of and ridicule certain groups of people. I really [...]
These were a few of his favorite things…

Today marks the third anniversary of my dad’s death. Three years. Crazy. I always get a bit depressed about a week before this anniversary, and yet, it still takes about 3 days of feeling blue and on edge and crappy before I remember why. It doesn’t help that this anniversary occurs during sweeps month which [...]
It’s not 2, it’s 3…

Everytime I’ve thought about the title of this post, my head immediately goes to the standard dating break up line, “It’s not you, it’s me.” Which, strangely enough, is appropriate here as well. What I’m talking about is toddlers. Yes, those fantastically cute cherubic little people wandering around with the squishy cheeks being oh-so-adorable who [...]

Someday, someone is going to write a memoir with that title. And, now, they’ll owe me royalties. Here’s me as an m&m: Go here to get your m&m on, then check out my m&m blogging buddies here, here, and here.
Bikinis and Snowboots…

That’s what was on display at Target yesterday. It was our first real snow and we realized that our daughter’s boots were too little, so we went on over to Target to get her some boots and get ourselves some gloves so we didn’t freeze while sledding and such with the kiddos. You wouldn’t believe [...]
Two thoughts for today…

1. No, my name is not Earl. My name is Mommy. If you tried to log on here while I was briefly being re-routed to the Earl site, obviously all is fixed now (thanks, Aaron, for the way quick response!). If you actually came BACK here for the Earl site, here you go. 2. My [...]
We have 6 channels…

No, we don’t live in the boonies. Yes, we are probably one of the last cable holdouts. No major reasons, just cheaper, and when would we find the time to watch anything anyway? Hmmm…I started this with a point… Ah, yes, we have 6 channels. Guess how many of them were showing the President’s speech [...]
