Some of you questioned the great gum chucking incident of 2010. I can totally understand why you would question it. It isn’t every day, after all, that a senior citizen hellion angel biker dude decides to throw gum at one’s vehicle. The vehicle in question being mine, of course. So here’s the scoop: I was… Continue reading The Gum Chucking Hellion

On A Life Uncommon
As far as weeks go…the last one wasn’t particularly high-ranking in my book. Jeff was out of town again (Orlando, this time), which is never fun. And while he was gone I had a run-in with a 60-something Hellians Angel who–I kid you not–very purposefully threw his ABC gum at my car. ABC, as in,… Continue reading On A Life Uncommon
Four Eyes
I’ve required prescription eyeglasses since I was 16. But then–a few years back–I got lasik. I absolutely reveled in my 20/20 vision. I gladly kissed my geeky eyewear goodbye. I threw out my contact solution and did a happy dance. Time passed. And then one day, I woke up and realized I couldn’t see the… Continue reading Four Eyes
15 Dumbest Things to Fan on Facebook
This was the year in which I started using Facebook. For most intents and purposes I can say that I enjoy it. But, like everything, it certainly has its downside. Think Farmville. Or, more specifically, people posting about lost sheep. Or lonely pink clownfish. Because really I could care less about Farmville fungifts and anything… Continue reading 15 Dumbest Things to Fan on Facebook
Menis Ed 101
If you are a frequent reader of my blog, surely you’ll remember this post. The one in which Jayce’s menis was getting on his nerves. Don’t you hate that? Yeah. Me too. So today, Jayce and I took my mom (who is here visiting) to our favorite burger joint for lunch. (And I hate to… Continue reading Menis Ed 101
A Little Help Here?
So Kennedy has these two baby molars clinging to life in her mouth. Two baby molars that have held up the orthodontia process (which, by the way, is just fine with me). I should say had. As in, Kennedy had two baby molars clinging to life in her mouth. Because now there’s only one. And… Continue reading A Little Help Here?
A Bug’s Life
If you were a fly on the wall in my house, you’d live a pretty decent life. There’d be plenty of crumbs to nibble on. You’d have multiple opportunities to escape. Considering my children leave the doors standing wide open many times throughout the day. And the chances of you getting swatted would be slim… Continue reading A Bug’s Life
Back To School Battlefield
Dear Target Store Manager: Hello Mr. Manager sir. It’s me. The mom of four who visited your store today. I know you’re probably busy ironing your khaki pants and red shirts so I won’t keep you long. I just wanted to send along a helpful hint that may save you a few dollars in the… Continue reading Back To School Battlefield
Introducing the Eggsacutor 3000xi
Jeff has come up with some great ideas in his lifetime. At least in the portion of it in which I’ve known him. Ideas that we could totally market – if we were ambitious like that. Our infamous game, for instance: a Jeff original. Really, it was a collaborative effort – but mostly him. Our… Continue reading Introducing the Eggsacutor 3000xi
Now I Know How Kate Gosselin Feels
We had one of those weekends that flew by. Probably because we packed it full of fun stuff. Like seeing Up. Followed by lunch at a new burger/shake find. And then we visited the Sonoran Desert museum (which is more of a desert-ish zoo actually) for their Saturday summer nighttime hours. We saw snakes and… Continue reading Now I Know How Kate Gosselin Feels
As Requested
Since it’s Saturday and I don’t usually post on Saturdays anyway (heck I barely post anymore period) I thought I’d go with something light on brain power. So, as requested, here is a picture of the shoes I ended up going with for the promotion ceremonies: And the recipe for the chocolate cake shots: 1/2… Continue reading As Requested
You Might Be a Redneck If…
Hello Such the Spot. No. I’ve not forsaken you. It may seem that way. But really, I’ve been busy getting things back in order after our super-fly promotion weekend. The day started out innocently enough. Really. It did. See. I told you. Completely innocent right? But sitting through not one, but two promotion ceremonies, and… Continue reading You Might Be a Redneck If…
