O and Ro "Where's Waldo?"-Style
This spring, the hubs built a play yard for O and Ro in the middle of our backyard. He even managed to top it off with the same copper doo-dads he used on the main fence. I can't argue that I deserve him, but I will go nasty on anyone who "comes between me and my ...more»
Here's what I'm fancyin' this fine Friday:
Marcel the Shell with Shoes On: I'm not so sure where this has been all my life, but thanks to my friend Adrienne, I've been enlightened. The teacher in me wants to prompt you: What does Marcel wear as a hat? What does Marcel use as skis? How does Marcel use a pen? Should ...more»
If you've ever asked someone what they would need to take with them in an emergency, then you can sort of figure out what their daily lives are like at the moment. Of course, we'd all grab our loved ones, telephones, maybe a valuable if given the extra minute, but what about the occasions that aren't necessarily emergent? Maybe they ...more»

Unless you count the occasional public meltdown. What do I liken it to? Ah, ...more»
Aloha, Monday! In the spirit of grilling season, I thought I'd share my dinner with you--or rather what I had for dinner with you. Hmm... still sounds bad, but I'm movin' on!
Tonight, we dined al fresco on (Happy) Hawaiian Kabobs, a recipe given to me from my friend Sweet Caroline (Bah Bah Bah!). Sweet Caroline and are bonded forever by ...more»
Back in February, I received a Kindle for my birthday. This was a good thing, encouraging reading and all that jazz, blah, blah, woof, woof. Of course, it also feeds a little book-reading addiction (I've read 16 books since) that runs deep in the roots of my family tree. My father worked for a book publisher prior to his days ...more»
