It’s Mine!

“It’s Mine” has become Lainey’s favorite phrase for the past 2 weeks and tonight they were the last words coming from her mouth just before her face hit the pavement.  She was on a baby tricycle when another child approached (not to steal the bike but just to check her out) and Lainey being soooo gracious and giving [...]

Tyson vs. Holyfield Rematch

A week ago today I was blogging about how Duke and Vedo like to spoon with each other because they are just sooooo close (see ‘Puppy Love’)… fast forward to this week and Duke is on the mend from our very own Tyson Holyfield fight in the backyard… complete with a wicked ear bite!  That’s right Vedo [...]

I’m it… again.

Okay so I’ve been tagged by Missy for another 7 bits of randomness about myself.  Here goes!

I love to duck behind corners, etc and jump out and scare the &$#@ out of people… no, I’m not in grade school, why do you ask?
I’ve sewn 7 Halloween costumes for Lakyn, Lainey and myself and have made the [...]

Ode to Anna

On my Library Thing site I stated that everyone should go out and grab every book with Anna Quindlen’s name on it… so I took my own advice and went to the library and did just that.  So far, I’ve read Blessings, One True Thing, Being Perfect, Black and Blue, Rise and Shine and most recently, [...]

Why, Why, Why? Part 2

Manpris… what the hell are you thinking when you choose to wear them?  Are you even aware you are a man wearing capris?  And please do not insult my intelligence and try to tell me they are ’shorts’ when they are longer than your wife’s capris… see Exhibit A.  The manpris are black, the capris [...]

Puppy Love

Yes, my Great Danes like to ’spoon’… this is exactly how Vedo and Duke were sleeping the other night.  Duke loves his big brother so much that he wrapped his ‘arm’ around him and snored loudly into Vedo’s ear. 

Does Anyone Else Remember This?

Okay, I just want to say that I was a VERY young child when this aired but I still remember this scene vivedly… oddly enough, I don’t remember any other scene from this series (V: The Visitors) so I’m assuming that I was pretending to be asleep and snuck back out to see what was [...]

Happy Birthday America!


Is it terrible…

Is it terrible that I hope the guy who lives down the street -and sets off elaborate albeit illegal fireworks until 1am every night for the week leading up to and following July 4th .. yeah that’s him- would accidentally send one of those bottle rockets up his *^$ and explode? 
That’s not so terrible is it?  [...]

Her Words

 “Most people cannot understand her.  Her words are like soup, the smooth broth of the vowels, the chunky consonants, and she swirls them around in her little mouth until they sound more like mush than anything else… but I know everything she says.  Everything.”            -from Black & Blue by Anna Quindlen

This passage stopped me in my [...]
