Not Me! And My OCD

November 30, 2009

Happy Monday, y’all! We’re packed to capacity here at the McResidence as McDaddy’s brother-in-law, and three of his family members are staying with us this week for huntin’ season. (And yes, around here we say huntin’!) If you’ve spent any time at From Inmates To Playdates, you know that we are in the midst of [...]

Eight Things

November 29, 2009

Oops… It looks like I forgot to post this on Friday. Sheesh. Sorry. A sweet forever ago, Mel over at A Box Of Chocolates tagged me for a short meme. Even though it has been months since she posted this, today seemed like the perfect day to play along. While I am supposed to tag eight other bloggers, I am [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Thirteen Things [and folks] I’m Thankful For!

November 26, 2009

What better day to tell you thirteen things I’m thankful for than today on this Thanksgiving holiday. I love Thanksgiving. I have fond memories of waking up very early on Thanksgiving morning to the smell of turkey and pumpkin pie baking in the oven. And, no Thanksgiving is complete without the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.  So, [...]

You Capture – Food

November 26, 2009

I went hog wild this week. In the kitchen. With the camera. That doesn’t mean that I got some quality shots, that just means that I was grabbing the camera at weird times snapping away at some grapes and some macaroni salad. I like to eat. I don’t enjoy cooking so much because it takes [...]

In A Split Second

November 25, 2009

On Sunday, we learned that a little boy in Stevie’s first grade class most likely had leukemia. Heartbroken at the news that a little boy who has been a part of my son’s life for the past four years was seriously ill, I prayed that God would heal his body and be with his family [...]

Thursday Thirteen – With A Little Help From Google

November 19, 2009

So, it’s time for another thirteen of something. McDaddy is home this evening and we’re watching Grey’s Anatomy. Did I mention that Grey’s Anatomy is a great show? Because it is. It really is. Today, I thought we’d consult Google for some help with today’s Thursday Thirteen. So, in the words of Simon Cowell, off [...]

The Setting Sun

November 19, 2009

When I read that this week’s You Capture Challenge was Sunrise/Sunsets, I chuckled. I chuckled because I try not to make it a habit of being awake early enough to watch the sun rise. So, with one strike against me because of my inability to function at O Dark Thirty, I would do my best to [...]

The McFamily Christmas Letter

November 18, 2009

I am an organzier by nature. And a multi-tasker. I also like being one step ahead of the proverbial game. Stevie and I both have birthdays in December. In fact, thanks to my unwillingness to reamain on bed-rest on my 29th birthday, I had Stevie one day later on December 12th. McDaddy was happy that [...]
