Minted Giveaway

May 26, 2013

*THIS IS A SPONSORED POST* One of the perks of having a blog (besides getting corporate attention for complaints) is that occasionally I receive offers to review some great products. I especially appreciate offers to review any kind of product I can personalize - like the ones featured on www.minted.com. The only problem is, it takes me [...]

A Perfect Pair

May 23, 2013

He orders water. I order coke. He loves cars. I love ONE car. He is quiet. I am loud. He flosses daily. I? Have a place of honor on the Need To Floss Wall of Shame. He is brilliant. I am a crazy person. He is quiet. I am loud. He doesn’t understand the hash [...]

I Couldn’t kuWAIT To Share This News

May 21, 2013

I have been wanting to write this post for the past few weeks. Unfortunately, due to safety and security reasons, I felt like I should wait. If you’ve spent any amount of time around here, you may recall a post I wrote back in October announcing that McDaddy had been tasked with another deployment. As [...]

American Idol – Final 2

May 15, 2013

So, here we are in this last night of competition. I was shocked that Angie Miller went home last week. Not necessarily because Kree isn’t an awesome performer, I just thought Angie’s versatility behind the piano would put her a tad bit ahead of Kree. But lo, I was wrong. It’s happened a time or ten.

What I Learned This Week

May 13, 2013

I have sneezed approximately 5,148 times today. My nose feels like it might explode. And my eyes? I came *this close* to poking them out today. With a fork. In other words, MY ALLERGIES ARE FRIGGIN KILLING ME. I’m suspect spending the weekend with the scouts on a campout - IN A MONSOON – didn’t help matters. But, [...]

Letters To Crazy People

May 7, 2013

Y’all. It is W-A-Y past time for another edition of letters to crazy people. I was about *thisdarnclose* to getting cold-cocked at the ball field by a crazy redneck mom who needed the you-know-what smacked out of her. At that very moment, I had a clear understanding of how Little League fights start. I am [...]

What I Learned This Week

May 6, 2013

If it weren’t Tuesday, I’d be writing another edition of “Letters To Crazy People” because I’ve had more than my fair share of interaction with crazy people this week. I suppose I’ll quit the whining and save all that for another day. Instead, I’ll share with you, (all eight of you!) what I learned this week. [...]

American Idol – Final Four [Take Two]

May 1, 2013

Welcome to a live Wednesday night edition of American Idol. Only it’s not really a live edition because I’ve been on the phone with McDaddy for the past hour and forgot it was American Idol night until just minutes ago. So… this is really a DVR’d Wednesday edition of American Idol here on my blog. I [...]

What I Learned This Week

April 29, 2013

I learned a big bunch of stuff this week. And the first thing I learned is that I am the most organized – unorganized person I know. Like this evening, Alex had a baseball game and I had the next four hours of my evening planned out and it was jam-packed. After the game, we [...]
