Last November, I wrote this letter to the Ladybug Embassy. I tried to be reasonable and allowed that they could swarm my house, as long as they would please pick somewhere different than their annual gathering place, my toddler’s bedroom. Well, they have made their annual visit into a semi-annual one, but they abided by […]
Normative Immutability
After my Axiomatically Bombastic post, I’ve had several people ask me how Ali’s Sunday Word project was going, so I decided to give you an update. Because I’m thoughtful like that. The week after A.B., her phrase was “Liberality Equals Generosity”. I’m not sure if it wasn’t difficult enough for her to appreciate the challenge, […]
A Sadly Tasty Curse.
Did you ever watch “Northern Exposure” in the early 90’s? Well, you should have. I did, but only vaguely remembered it (since I was like, uh, 9 years old when it started), but remembered enough to know that it was a fun show with super-quirky characters. So Chris (who had never seen it) and I […]
That’s Axiomatically Bombastic!!!
As you know, I love discovering people’s quirks. And I love that EVERYONE has at least one, if not many, MANY more quirks. Our wonderful Pastor’s quirk is his love with the English language. He loves alliteration, studying sentence structure, and fancy words. And when I say fancy words, I mean he throws out some […]
Survey Saturday!!!
I do love a good alliterative title!! So Chris and I have this quirk. . . . I know, I know, we have tons. Anyway, I’m wondering if it is technically a “quirk”, or if it is pretty common. As soon as we come home from anywhere, no matter the time, the first thing we […]
Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow
I’ve never understood the parting of hair. As a child, it confused me greatly. Apparently, crooked parts were a pet peeve of my Mom’s, and so she was always telling me to “go fix your part!”. Since I didn’t know how, I would just go look in the mirror, brush my hair straight back, and […]
The C Family Point.
Chris has this quirky habit of when he is pointing to something (especially to something on a piece of paper), he uses his middle finger. I have noticed that his Dad does it too. Chris says that it is more comfortable, especially when moving your hand around large drawings (i.e. at work). A bit weird, […]
My Husband Has a Crush.
We went Christmas shopping on Sunday as a family. We had pretty much finished buying for everyone else, but we hadn’t finished shopping for each other. Being that we are pretty practical people, we typically do this in a very unromantic style of shopping together. So we went into Sephora because I told Chris that […]
Dinnertime Conversations
There have always been a couple of conversations that come up at our family dinners that probably shouldn’t. I don’t know why, but they just do. For instance, when MY family gets together for dinner, whether it is a holiday or not, the conversation ALWAYS ends up at poop somewhere during the meal. And if […]
Our Annual Visitors
To the Ladybug in Charge of Winter Home Assignment; Birmingham Embassy of Ladybugs: First of all, let me compliment your organization skills. To be able to organize 44 ladybugs to all show up in one place at the same time is quite impressive. It reminds me of the flash mob craze, except without the internet […]
