Just Some More Of My Crazy

February 6, 2013

It is Tuesday evening and I am watching Dance Moms. It is that time of the month and I would knock a joker flat-out right now for a chocolate cake donut connection donut. Folks, 39-year-old hormones do not play. Especially when they’ve been on a  five-week biggest loser quest. Phew. It feels good to get that off of my [...]

You Capture – The Letter L

February 23, 2011

It’s another one of those weeks where I’m living by a list, which translates into I’M SLAMMED THIS WEEK. The PTA is kicking off a cookie-dough fundraiser today. The book-fair is this week. There are popcorn popping duties on Thursday. The laundry overfloweth. I am hoping to travel with McDaddy next week on business, which requires [...]

Beauty and The Beast

January 21, 2011

The weather guy, in his infinate wisdom has predicted that we will get between two and six inches of snow by Friday morning. Two. And six. That’s quite a difference, but if I’m being honest, the two might as well be six when it comes to my driving in it, because I am a chicken. [...]

Stuff and Things

December 10, 2010

It’s been a hectic week around here at the McResidence but I won’t go into all that because I am not one to whine or complain. Ahem! Some days the blog fodder rolls right off of my fingertips and other days, I sit here on the big, blue, bloggy couch watching some sort of reality [...]

A Little Sit-uation

November 2, 2010

If you’re a regular visitor ’round these parts, you know that I spent about four weeks of my life shopping for living room furniture. I shopped frantically and often. I went a little crazier crazy. We purchased our previous furniture immediately after moving into our home eight years ago. When I first saw it on the [...]

I Hate To Wait

September 26, 2010

When we bought our house seven years ago, we also purchased living room furniture. The couch and loveseat was absolutely perfect for our country-themed great-room. It was big and puffy and blue and came complete with 214 pillows. Before sitting on the furniture, it is necessary to move the pillows or else there isn’t a [...]

You Capture – Signs

September 8, 2010

I had all kinds of opportunities to shoot all kinds of signs. But, at the last minute, I decided to go a different route. As always. This first sign hangs in our camper. And it is so true!  While the McFamily was camping during the Labor Day weekend, we visited a Natural Bridge. This sign [...]

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 [...]

List of Lessons Learned

May 24, 2010

It’s Tuesday and that means it’s time for another edition of What I Learned This Week. As always, this post will practically write itself because y’all know my fount of information will never, ever run dry. Each week, I consider writing a nice, tidy list-free WILTW post, and then it hits me that a list is [...]

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 [...]
