Things

July 8, 2010

It has been one heck of a week. Here at the McResidence, we’ve had Scout Camp from 8:30 – 4:00 and then Vacation Bible School from 6:30 – 8:30 PM.  When you take into account that the Sun has a score to settle here in West Virginia causing it to shine in the hundreds coupled with the [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Because I Love Cheap Entertainment

July 8, 2010

From time to time, I run a special edition Thursday Thirteen straight from my feedjit reader because I get a kick out of the things people search for on Google that land them here on my blog. It is like cheap entertainment for me. And I love cheap entertainment. For your amusement… 1. Saint Paul, Minnesota [...]

You Capture – America

July 7, 2010

My family had a wonderful July 4th holiday. We attended the “oldest Independence Day parade in the nation” held in Ripley, West Virginia, and attended a family reunion. The heat was there along with its BFF, humidity. Sweet Moses, the humidity? Was. Miserable. I tried not to think about the heat because at this same time last year, [...]

Uniquely Interesting Useless Information

July 6, 2010

I should start by saying there is a chance that you might file this post under useless information. I would bet though that 82% of you will find it uniquely interesting, especially if you like strawberries. Y’all know that my domestic prowess doesn’t shine very often. And rarely ever in the kitchen. When it does [...]

What I Learned This Week

July 6, 2010

Is it just me or are the Summer months flying by? I enjoyed June. I really did. But I can hardly remember where I was when it passed me by. Why is it that the school year seems to creep by while the summer months zoom right past? I learned a lot this week. In fact, [...]

Draggin’ My Wagon

July 5, 2010

Did you have a happy Fourth of July celebration? Was it hotter than all get-out where you are? It was hot here in West Virginia. You may be wondering how hot is “hotter than all get-out?” Just imagine the hottest place you can think of and then double it. Okay, maybe that’s stretching it a bit, but believe me [...]

America

July 3, 2010

Exactly one year ago today, we were in the home stretch of deployment. My sweet boys and I missed McDaddy terribly and we were counting down the days until we would be together again. Simply seeing the flag brought tears to my eyes. When I see a flag, I still cry today. Exactly one year ago [...]

40 Things Before 40

July 2, 2010

While sitting around the campfire tonight, we talked briefly about the bucket list. I don’t really have a bucket list, but I do spend a fair amount of time thinking of things I would like to do before I um, you know, pass. This isn’t necessarily a bucket list, because? Hello? I’m already 36 and these are [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Last Thursday

July 1, 2010

Thirteen things I was doing this time last Thursday. You know, because you have nothing better to do than to read about what I was doing 168 hours ago while sitting in a hotel room in Monaca, Pennsylvania. 1. FEELING … crampy becuase the mones are raging. 2. DRINKING … a bottle of water because [...]
