Sweet Stuff

May 21, 2009

This week’s You Capture theme is sweet. There couldn’t be a more fitting topic for the pictures that I’ve captured this week. For instance, look at the sweet look on the faces of my fellas. Those sweet smiles are the result of spending 107 days apart. And this sweet capture? It makes me smile. See [...]

Rain Drops Were Falling On My Head

May 20, 2009

American Idol – The Finale

May 19, 2009

I am so happy to be live blogging the finale from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. For the past 11 weeks, I have live blogged alone in my living room after the kids have gone to sleep. Typically, I pause it in the middle because McDaddy calls me. Tonight, McDaddy is sitting two feet away from me [...]

What I Learned This Week [In Cuba]

May 19, 2009

For some reason, I was not able to copy and paste Jo-Lynne’s cute What I Learned This Week graphic. Instead, I had to save it to my pictures and download it to photobucket. Also, Internet Explorer is not working on my laptop and therefore I am forced to use Firefox. (I see you smiling, Jo-Lynne!) [...]

27 Hours and Counting….

May 15, 2009

In 27 short hours – if all goes well and we don’t have another emergency room disaster – me and my sweet boys will be with McDaddy. Two weeks ago we left our home and drove to Washington, DC in an attempt to fly out of Baltimore. That trip turned out drastically different than what [...]

A Beautiful Sky

May 14, 2009

When I found out this week’s You Capture challenge was colors, I knew exactly what I’d be posting this week. Internets, I’d like to introduce you to the 2009 Saturn Sky – in canary yellow and chili pepper red. The Saturn Sky makes me smile. I even wrote to the fine folks at Saturn asking [...]
