The Man

May 13, 2010

Me and McDaddy go way back. Long before he even knew it, I loved him. It took some work, but eventually, I convinced him to give us a shot. And really? Who could blame him with all the big hair, big glasses, and the big friggin’ orange stripes on my shorts. Even then, I knew [...]

For The Record, Madam President…

May 13, 2010

Before Stevie started school, I joked to McDaddy that someday I would be President of the PTA at the school. Funny thing is, toward the end of the 2008-2009 school year, I received a phone call from the current PTA President asking me if I’d run for President. Only I didn’t really run. In fact, [...]

You Capture – Yellow

May 12, 2010

I’ve been carrying my camera around all week on the off chance that I might find something yellow. One thing that struck me was the yellow lines in the middle of  the road, however, I was never in a position to stop in the middle of the friggin’ road to snap a picture of the lines [...]

American Idol – Top 4

May 11, 2010

We’re down to the Top 4. And THIS is American Idol. And if I was a bettin’ woman, (which I am), I would bet it’s Casey’s week to go home. Unless, of course, he pulls something out of his hat tonight that we’ve not yet seen. Jamie Foxx is the mentor. Jamie Foxx,  you know, [...]

Funniest Picture Ever

May 11, 2010

Wordless Wednesday is sponsored by 5 Minutes For Mom. I know this is supposed to be wordless Wednesday, and I most always adhere to that, but I cracked up even harder when I noticed that Alex is holding on to Lightning McQueen even in the midst of the madness. —— Before you go, head over [...]

Four Days A Month

May 11, 2010

If you’ve spent any amount of time around here at Inmates, Inc. you know that I’ve started the great weight-loss effort of 2010. Which happens to be a continuation of the great weigh-loss effort of 2008. Or something like that. For the next seventeen seconds, do me a favor and forget that little tidbit? Because this thing [...]

Just Some Random Stuff I Learned This Week

May 10, 2010

 I’ve had one of those days. You know the days of which I speak. The day where your iPhone freezes (and you are sure it is deader than 4′oclock), you lose a diamond out of your (4 month old) wedding ring while having it cleaned at the jeweler – who refuses to assume responsibility thank [...]

Drop Zones

May 9, 2010

I am amazed daily at the piles of junk that congregate here at the McResidence. I began calling them drop zones because they are, well, just that. For some unknown reason, the piles? They overtake us. We drop mail, laundry, shoes, newspapers, and anything else that you can think of. The stuff sits there for [...]

Going Topless… And Shoeless.

May 7, 2010

It all started when McDaddy agreed to do a little bit of work on this Jeep. Remember Justin? He’s the good friend of McDaddy’s who lovingly offered to mow our grass while McDaddy was deployed. The red jeep belongs to Justin and McDaddy had it here at our house doing some work on it as a wedding gift. Yes, I [...]

What’s On Your Fridge?

May 5, 2010

  “I am the McFridge.” “I stay busy, what with the apple juice and the Dr. Pepper, the “strawberry milk” and the fruit cups that need to be retrieved.” “Those two little boys are constatnly opening and shutting.” “And opening and shutting.” “And climbing on the bottom step (as they call it) to reach the [...]
