December 9, 2008

While I was sorting through the various things that Work for Me for today’s WORKS FOR ME WEDNESDAY post, I was having a bit of trouble deciding which one would interest y’all. I thought about discussing my new 50-inch plasma screen that really does work for me, but I wasn’t sure too many of you [...]

The Big Picture!

December 9, 2008

Dear New Fangled Samsung 50-inch Plasma Screen: It is with great sorrow that I write this letter to you today. I have served the McFamily for 10 years and have followed them to each of the four homes they have occupied. I am still in shock that I have been replaced. I have always served with [...]

Things I’ve Learned

December 7, 2008

For the past two weeks, I have been busy whooping it up with my dear, sweet aunt from California and McDaddy’s sister and her family. So busy in fact that the McResidence has been neglected. Neglected to a point that if I don’t do laundry right!now!  then certain members of this house will be without underwear [...]

Food… for thought

December 6, 2008

Just Shoot Me!

December 6, 2008

December is a busy month here at the McResidence. For that reason, I try to get a jump-start on the busy holiday season by having our annual family Christmas picture taken before December rolls around and I’m left wondering if I’m coming or going. So, it usually makes sense for us to do Halloween pictures, change [...]

O’McChristmas Tree

December 4, 2008

My Christmas tree went up a week before Thanksgiving. I love putting my tree up and enjoyed having my boys help with the festivities this year. Last week, I dedicated a whole post to my beloved tree. Then, I was over at Island Life and read about Kailani’s Christmas Tree Decorating Contest, so, I thought why not throw my tree’s [...]

Thursday Thirteen – If You Were My Mini-Van….

December 3, 2008

Eighteen months ago, McDaddy learned that a couple from our lovely little church had decided to sell their Dodge Grand Caravan. One thing you should know about McDaddy is that he is always on the prowl lookout for a sweet vehicle deal that is too good to pass up. That’s actually how we ended up with our [...]

Welcome to another addition of Works For Me Wednesday. If you came here looking for another fabulous recipe, I’m sorry to say you’ve come to the wrong place. Today, I thought I would share a tip that really works for me.

I’ll Be Watching You!

December 2, 2008

I really should have reported about this last Friday, but, to be honest I had 642 things I wanted to get done before the weekend passed me by. That, and the fact that we still had three pies leftover from Thanksgiving that needed to be consumed before they hardened and rendered themselves useless. The pies [...]
