Thursday Thirteen – The Letter N

May 14, 2009

It’s Thursday and I’d be lying if I said this post is getting my full attention. The truth is I’m watching American Idol – The Results, and I’m hoping like heck my boys, Danny and Kris make it to the finals. It will be a long shot given The Screecher and his fine following, but [...]

I Hate Dust!

May 13, 2009

And Then There Were Three

May 12, 2009

It is Tuesday night and I’ve been cleaning like a madman. My house is cleaner than it has been in two years. I am ready to take a break. It is the best night of television. The contestants are singing a song chosen by the judges and a song chosen by themselves. The spotlight is shining [...]

What I Heard This Week

May 12, 2009

While I would love for this title to have been “What I Learned This Week,” the truth is I haven’t actually learned the stuff I’m about to share with you. The information was presented to our Sunday School Class, but I’d be lying if I said I have already “learned” it all. It has been [...]

Nineteen Years Ago Today

May 7, 2009

I ran across this message in McDaddy’s yearbook a few days ago. It is dated May 7, 1990. I thought it would be fun to share it here on my sweet little blog. Dear McDaddy: Let’s see, where should I start. I’ll never forget the first day of band camp when I met you! Geez, [...]

You Capture – Expression

May 7, 2009

When I read that this week’s challenge would be expression, I had concocted an idea in my head that I would have my camera ready to capture the expression on my boys’ faces when they stepped off of the plane and saw McDaddy for the first time in three months. I could just about burst [...]

Thursday Thirteen – The Letter M

May 6, 2009

I had hoped I would be composing this week’s Thursday Thirteen from an international location. Instead, I am home in my big, blue, bloggy chair. For reasons unknown, I was not able to make the trip to see McDaddy, but I am happy to report it has been rescheduled for two weeks from now. Nevertheless, [...]

This week is FRUGAL TIP WORKS FOR ME WEDNESDAY. I suspect this post will make McDaddy very happy because I am using the word “frugal” and “works for me” in the same sentence.  Earlier this week, I was in the Mart of Walls and happened upon a display of a really good educations toy. They were [...]
