Ali is still in love with Thomas. And call us immature, but Chris and I can’t help but get the giggles when we are reading or watching it with her and Thomas’ whistle comes up. I know, I know, the writers are British, and across the pond, cookies are biscuits and bathrooms are loos. But […]
Carnivorous Creations
Chris has consistently sent me gorgeous flowers throughout our relationship. I have always greatly appreciated this, but have always been burdened with a good bit of guilt at each occurrence of said delivery, because there’s nothing comparably reciprocal to send to a guy. Guys don’t want flowers. Guys don’t want balloons. Guys don’t want candy. […]
It’s Almost Like Tweets, Except it’s a Blog.
Saturdays are made for random, right? First of all, in case you missed my tweet/facebook status, the plaid epidemic that I informed you of earlier this month is getting worse: Yes, it’s true: The Plaidemic has filled in every crack and reached the very scivvies of our society. (Thanks, Tim, for adding “Plaidemic” to my […]
Class-Action Crappiness.
ATTENTION! ATTENTION! ATTENTION! IF YOU OR A LOVED ONE CAME IN CONTACT WITH OR READ MATERIAL WRITTEN BY RACHEL FROM THE BLOG “GRASPING FOR OBJECTIVITY IN MY SUBJECTIVE LIFE” DURING THE DATES 8/20/09 TO 8/24/09 AND HAVE SINCE CONTRACTED THE MOPEY MINDYS, THE NERVOUS NELLIES, THE SLEEPY SUSIES OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF MENTAL DISTURBANCE, […]
And I Thought it Was Just SYMBOLIC…
My Wedding Ring has magical powers. I had no idea until today. The prong on my engagement ring somehow got bent, so I dropped it off at the jeweler’s to get repaired yesterday. Since I had to take it in, we decided that Chris and I both needed newly re-coated and shiny wedding bands as […]
28 Things That I Learned At Blogher
28. If you are sharing a hotel room with multiple roommates and all roommates are handing out different company’s swag, don’t think you accidentally entered a mini-warehouse instead of your hotel room upon arrival. 27. However, those same roommates may make fun of you if you talk in your sleep. 26. Especially if you talk […]
My Daughter Thinks the Toilet is a Pommel Horse.
All of these moves – she’s got down pat. Actually producing and leaving anything at all in the toilet – (even by accident due to the straining that it takes to produce the above tricks) – she has no concept. I’m open to suggestions on how to take my Olympic Hopeful to Big Girl Panties […]
Because You Care. Just a Little TOO Much.
On our long date Saturday of having all the time in the world to talk and laugh, Chris and I came up with something that is very “needed” in today’s market. You know those overly nosy/probing/into-everyone’s-personal-lives people? They might be at work, at church, a friend, or even a family member. They are the ones […]
What do Bloggers, Models, Cowboys and Indians Have in Common? This Post.
Yesterday, Ali and I attended/hosted our second Alabama Blogger meet-up: We had an awesome time visiting with everyone, and Ali had a BLAST playing with and talking to everyone (especially Gina, Lianne, Amy, and Valerie). In fact, she was perfectly happy, until we left: No, it wasn’t because the meet-up was over. . . it […]
Trampolinic Philosophy
We are enjoying our new trampoline immensely, thankyouforasking. And besides one slight moment of OhCrapMyDadWasRight Panic when I mysteriously got a pulled muscle in my back that lasted for a couple of days, no one has gotten injured on it. The placement of our trampoline is under the big tree in our backyard for shade, […]
