Fun In The Sun

November 21, 2008

Because there is snow on the ground {GROWL!}, {MOAN!}, {WHINE!} here in Wild, Wonderful, West Virginia, I thought it might be fun to participate in Island Lifes Aloha Friday. Picture yourself sitting under that little palm tree, watching the waves crash against the shore, holding a pina’ colada (or in my case an ice-cold Dr. Pepper), listening to [...]

This Is How I Roll.

November 20, 2008

I love a good story. First, because I love to talk, and, second, well, just because I love a good story. And with the exception of marriage and my two kids, this may be my best story. I’ll try to make this brief, but in order to really appreciate this great story, details are necessary. [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Something To Smile About

November 19, 2008

I don’t typically read rag mags. Except at the gym. Which is pretty much three or four times per week. I never buy them because in my opinion, the people who write for these fine publiciations are from a different planet than most of us. Who really cares that Jennifer Aniston has a baby bump, a botox bump or [...]

Your Eyes Don’t Lie

November 19, 2008

Darcie over at Such The Spot did this meme today and I thought it looked like fun, so I’m playing along instead of tackling the laundry pile. My fellas might not have clean underwear, but by-crackie (pun intended) ya’ll will have your daily dose of crazy. To play you fetch your iPod and put it [...]

My Time To Shine

November 17, 2008

I’ve made a very important decision today. I’ve decided to put all manner of fall stuff away so that I can bring on Christmas. I realize it may seem as though I’m rushing the season just a tad. That’s because my aunt Jane is coming to WV for Thanksgiving and will be here on Friday night. The [...]

Busier Than A Raccoon In A Trashpile

November 16, 2008

Oh. Sorry. I was so busy looking for the weekend I didn’t even see you there. Apparently I’ve been busier than a raccoon in a trash-pile and missed the wholethingaltogether. I know it was there somewhere cause I’ve got pictures. And since that’s all that remains of our wonderful weekend, I guess this is as [...]

Better Late Than Never

November 16, 2008

Being late is a pet-peeve of mine. I’d rather arrive fifteen minutes early than arrive one minute late, but that’s just me. If you happen to be the kind of person who will be late for your own funeral, please ignore that first thing I said. I’d hate to offend any of my LBF’s. (Loyal Blog [...]
