A Long Journey

March 14, 2009

My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey. Proverbs 7:19 (NIV) It will be a long journey for sure. McDaddy left on January 30, 2009 and will be gone from us for 6 months. We are so proud of him for his service to our country, but we miss him [...]

Retail Therapy

March 13, 2009

For the past year or so, I have been following what is in my humble opinion, one of the best blogs in blog-land. I don’t remember exactly how I found BIG MAMA, but I was a fan immediately and I read her blog often. I don’t say daily because at this point the only thing [...]

What Are You Looking For?

March 13, 2009

From time to time I click on that ‘Live Traffic Feed’ thingie down there in my left side-bar. That little box is full of useful information, including the topic of interest that was typed into the search engine that led some of you right here to ‘From Inmates To Playdates’.  It always amuses me and there [...]

Thursday Thirteen – This One May Not Be So “E”asy.

March 11, 2009

It’s Thursday and for those of us in Inmate land that means Thursday Thirteen. When McDaddy left, I had high hopes that making it through the entire alphabet in 26 weeks would mean that when I got to “Z” it would be time for him to come home. Then I found out that it may [...]

Basket Case

March 10, 2009

A few weeks ago, Beth over at I Should Be Folding Laundry started a blog carnival called YOU CAPTURE. I have a good camera. It will do way more than point and shoot, but unfortunately I don’t know how to blow the whistles and ring the bells. I’m trying. Really, I am. This week’s challenge [...]

Take A Quick Peek At This

March 10, 2009

I love gadgets. I don’t always know how to operate them, but I think having technology at your fingertips is the bomb. (Yes, I just said the bomb.) I have been whining to McDaddy about an iPhone for months now, but thanks to our cellular contract, I will not be able to go there until June. [...]

A Slurp Of Syrup

March 10, 2009

While I could launch into a tirade about my on again/off again relationship (literally) with Suddenlink, I have decided to stick to my original idea of posting Things I’ve Learned [About Boys] This Week. You should know, however, that this information has been accumulating for the past six years. Because, really, I haven’t learned enough in [...]

Riding In A Police Car

March 9, 2009

Do you see that whole “Inmates to Playdates” thing up there? You should know that my blog title is based on a true story. It’s not something I just pulled out of the sky because ‘inmates’ happen to rhyme with ‘playdates’. I came up with that blog title because I worked in a  Regional Jail before [...]

Pretty as a picture… Even better as a poster.

March 7, 2009

If you’ve spent much time here at Inmates, you know that I happen to love pictures. I am constantly trying to capture memories of my boys and I have documented approximately 80% of their lives in scrapbooks. Every once in a blue moon, McDaddy allows me to take his picture. He would prefer however, that [...]

Christmas in March

March 6, 2009

A few days ago you may recall that I made mention of participating in a blog swap sponsored by Mamarazzi over at Dandelion Wishes. A blog swap is like Christmas in July. Or Christmas in March as is the case this time. I was paired me up with Jessica, a sweet gal from Utah. The [...]
