Rubbing It In

June 24th, 2011 · 2 Comments

Oh, happy day. For two reasons. One was that our waitress last night thought I was my daughter’s friend, the other because it ticks her off so much when this happens. While I did nothing to deserve them, I got good aging genes. That and Lady Clairol have made it possible for me to fool [...]

Stephen Tyler Ain’t Got Nothing On Me – the week of the rooster

June 12th, 2011 · No Comments

  That’s because I got some feathers put into my hair. I kind of liked them and thought, “Why not?” I always liked to be different, and since I live in a very rural small town, no one would think of putting rooster feathers in their hair, especially when they might have had to butcher [...]

My Home – Party Central (and it’s a good deal)

May 31st, 2011 · 1 Comment

The kids had another one of their parties at our house because it’s such perfect party place – lots of space, a trampoline, pool, tents, picnic tables, walking path, etc. You might think this is a bad thing because parties are a lot of work (like babies) but no, it’s a good thing for the [...]

My Annual Easter Project

April 24th, 2011 · 2 Comments

This cake bunny continues to satisfy the kids at Easter time and it tasted great but it reminds me of how much kids like tradition. It’s made from two round cakes and you just cut the ears out of one and it makes the bow tie. I learned this simple trick year’s ago in an [...]

As the daughters enjoy Disney, they did take some time to send us some pictures of the fun they were having – they made me laugh. It did make me want to be there with them. We have gone as a family a few times and it was so much fun for me. I think [...]

Make Up to Break Up

April 5th, 2011 · 1 Comment

I guess some things never change. As I applied my eye shadow this morning, I got a black eye. My daughter must have gotten into my makeup this weekend and mixed up my light with dark color. Grrr. I don’t remember going into my mom’s makeup when I was in my 20s but, then again [...]

The Letter

March 21st, 2011 · 2 Comments

My baby wrote me a letter. When my son was home on his break, I asked him about his years in elementary school when he was bullied. It wasn’t much fun for him or for all of us and I feel badly that he had such a bad experience. He thought for a minute and [...]

Residual Effects

February 28th, 2011 · 3 Comments

While I have been on the 17 Day Diet for a while now (I am in cycle 3) my husband is exhibiting some residual effects. He never had any “back” to start with and now, whatever he had before is gone. So are all the kids, even my son who is home, and I use [...]
