After staying up waaaaay too late last night working on my IH edits (*ahem4amahem*), I still had to get up this morning, shower, do laundry, and get the kids to a birthday party.
They both enjoyed the party (one of our old neighbors was turning 5), but it would seem the real fun started after we […]

I’m so excited. (Having a Pointer Sisters moment here)
If you have the opportunity, stop by National Parks Traveler — you just might recognize something.
Yup, this week’s Park Photo of the Week is one of mine, credited to my real name.
So let’s give them some […]

Sorry for the late post. I’ve been working so hard on my IH edits this week, I completely forgot to work up a picture for this week’s Saturday Shot. On top of that, we took a drive up to the mountains to visit an old friend — left in the morning and didn’t […]

MiniMe’s soccer season’s already starting. No games yet, but she’s already having practices. And homework. She had soccer homework. She had to run a timed 1.5 miles before Monday’s practice. Of course, that meant we were driving around looking for a place to run on Monday.
Nothing like waiting until the […]

A few days ago, I got one of those YahooGroups reminders from the MotivateYourLife list, connected to The Motivated Writer.
It seemed timely in light of my recent post about dreams, and I thought I’d share it with you.

Since I don’t have any new Hiking in My Local State Parks pictures to share, looks like we’re heading back out West and back to the summer of 2006 for this weeks shot.

You know what’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys? Making your late-sleeping offspring get up early on a summer morning.
ME: MiniMe! LittleDude! Rise and shine! It’s a beautiful morning!
THEM: *grumble grumble grouse grouse*
ME: (yanking the covers from their beds) C’mon! Get up! We’ve got […]

I just joined Shelfari to connect with other book lovers. Come see the books I love and see if we have any in common. Then pick my next book so I can keep on reading.

Check out that IH progress meter, y’all! Notice the change? See it? See it? Right now, it should either be reading almost done or Round 2 Edit Marking: 2nd Pass. You know what […]

…Blue Phone!

Ain’t this LG VX8550 purty?

This week’s Saturday Shots is a little different — instead of just one photo, I’m giving you a series! Aren’t you excited? Feel free to click directly on any of the pictures to be taken to my Flickr page with larger versions of each one.

Sometimes you just stumble upon something on the internet that tickles your fancy. Or makes you laugh. Or makes you say, “What the hell were they thinking?” I stumbled on something that had me doing all three.
It’s a post at Neatorama: Top 10 Coolest BBQ Grills. Some of ‘em are […]

I’ve had a pretty rough day today (trust me, you don’t want to know), but there was one bright spot.
A little history — SoundGuy informed me last month that in August, we have to attend a formal for his job. The bishop of the church he works for will be celebrating his 20th Anniversary. […]

I visited Lady Tess a while back and found a new way to procrastinate:

I took this quizat eSPIN-the-Bottle:

Which Sexy Are You?

and here’s what I got:

Cool Sexy

Take this quiz yourself.

You keep it real smooth, all James […]

Yesterday, I finally got around to watching last week’s episode of TNT’s Heartland starring Treat Williams. Anyone else watching this show? I’m still unsure about it — I’ve seen three episodes and I’m not entirely sure if I’ll keep watching.
Especially after last week’s episode.
I hate shows that kill kids. Babies in particular. […]
