Running On Empty

August 12, 2009

Some Good Advice

August 11, 2009

It Was Hot and I Was Crazy

Can you believe it? We made it through the alphabet. I’m a bit sad because finishing up the alphabet on Thursday Thirteen with the letter Z means that I will actually have to get creative with my Thursday Thirteen posts now.

You Capture – ME!

August 5, 2009

Reconstitution

August 4, 2009

When McDaddy joined the Air National Guard in 1991, he had the difficult task of learning another language. A language that is made up mostly of initials and acronyms. A language that I cannot speak fluently, even after 17 years of use. My sweet Mother-in-law and I have been known to roll our eyes when McDaddy and [...]
