American Idol – Top 11 Again

March 31, 2011

I am sitting on my big, blue bloggy couch live-blogging American Idol. My feet and legs are tired because I spent six hours today unloading, sorting, distributing, deciphering and loading cookie dough for a school fundraiser. Then, I hurried home, changed clothes, rushed out the door and went to church with my fellas. I am [...]

You Capture – Vibrance

March 29, 2011

Unfortunately, my laptop is still on the fritz, which makes me sad because for one, it is pink, and second, because it is mine. I am using McDaddy’s laptop which is sort of like driving a rental car.  Which would be awesome if I were driving a Saturn Sky. Instead, I feel like I’m driving [...]

I’m a little teapot, short and stout

March 28, 2011

here is my handle, here is my spout. I remember singing that song in my nursery school class. Or maybe it was Kindergarten. At any rate, I couldn’t help but think of that song when I saw this cute little teapot, also known as the neti pot. I’ve responded to several e-mail inquiries regarding the neti pot. And before [...]

Letters To Crazy People

March 27, 2011

Disaster struck here at the McResidence on Saturday morning. The backlight went out on my new Dell laptop. To be clear, the laptop isn’t actually new, but its the newest computer in the house and barely more than a year old. McDaddy spent a good part of the weekend researching the source of the problem [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Things I Wish I Knew

March 25, 2011

I missed posting yesterday because the sickness ravaged my little house, effectively taking out two of us within a twelve hour period. Stevie started in with the P&Ps about 8:00 PM and I followed suit starting the next day at 7:00 AM. It was a rough 36 hours. I’m pretty sure Death came looking for [...]

I Love My Job

March 22, 2011

Thanks to muddy ballfields, I scrub mud from tennis shoes and cleats almost daily. I pick up countless hot-wheels every single day. There are transformers on the table and CARS color changers on the bathtub. I step on Legos and I admire drawings of Sonic the Hedgehog and his posse. I dodge paper airplanes that soar from our loft. I AM [...]

What I Learned This Week

March 21, 2011

Well hello, Tuesday. Where did you come from? Seems like I wrote the last installment of What I Learned This Week a day or two ago. Time is a passin’ me by. When I was a kid the school year seemed like a million months long. Now that my own kiddos are in school, um, not [...]

Captured By The Police

March 18, 2011

Now that I grabbed y’all’s attention with that post title, I suppose I should come up with something to talk about. I say that like I don’t have anything to talk about, but really, I have so many things to talk about, I can’t decide what to talk about. All I know is that there are at least eight [...]
