Thursday Thirteen – Thirteen Things [and folks] I’m Thankful For!

November 26, 2009

What better day to tell you thirteen things I’m thankful for than today on this Thanksgiving holiday. I love Thanksgiving. I have fond memories of waking up very early on Thanksgiving morning to the smell of turkey and pumpkin pie baking in the oven. And, no Thanksgiving is complete without the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.  So, [...]

The McFamily Christmas Letter

November 18, 2009

I am an organzier by nature. And a multi-tasker. I also like being one step ahead of the proverbial game. Stevie and I both have birthdays in December. In fact, thanks to my unwillingness to reamain on bed-rest on my 29th birthday, I had Stevie one day later on December 12th. McDaddy was happy that [...]

Leave The Lights On, The Party’s Not Over!

October 19, 2009

Last week I mentioned that the fate of What I Learned This Week was up in the air because Jo-Lynne wasn’t sure if she would continue it. Well, (cupping hands around mouth and yelling loudly) I’M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THE WHAT I LEARNED THIS WEEK PARTY WILL CONTINUE ON, OVER AT MUSINGS OF A HOUSEWIFE! It appears [...]

Thursday Thirteen – Thirteen Things I’m Doing This Weekend

October 14, 2009

I could have titled this post, Thursday Three Hundred and Twelve. Because that’s approximately how many things are on my to-do list this week. And, with all that I have to do, you can imagine the mess that is swirling around in my brain. My brain is certainly a busy place. Sheesh. I keep thinking [...]

It’s Me Again… Not Doing Stuff

October 11, 2009

Can you believe that it’s already Monday again? The weeks? They seem to fly by now that I’m (cough) 35 (cough) years old. It seems like just yesterday I was writing last week’s Not Me! Monday post where I talked about NOT getting into a great, big crazy argument with the copier guy. Here it is [...]

Dear McDaddy

September 24, 2009

Dear McDaddy: I am writing to you today because I have an issue. *Big gasp* When I arrived at the McResidence yesterday, there was a package on the porch. It was addressed to me  and had a return address of  Wholesale Gadgets or Gadgets dot com. I can’t really remember, but I know it was [...]

Welcome To My Porch

September 21, 2009

Today is a great day! It is the first day of fall and for some reason, it is my favorite time of year. Besides Christmas, of course. I love the cool, crisp air, the pumpkins, the scarecrows, and all the orange/red/brown stuff. Just walking down the fall aisle at the Mart of Walls makes me [...]

Cleaning The Bathroom

September 8, 2009

I’m sure that title just screams, “I can’t wait to read this post!” Hopefully you’ll stick around despite the not-so-creative-title. It’s all I could come up with at this late, exhausting hour. And speaking of cleaning, I sure hope you’ll excuse the mess. From Inmates To Playdates is being overhauled, so you may encounter some error messages or caution [...]

The Swine Flu

August 24, 2009

Wow! What a week it’s been. All four of us here at the McResidence are on medication for something or another. Some of us for infection. Some of us not for infection. The pharmacy no doubt loves us this week. Our insurance company probably does not. For your consideration….  It wasn’t me who was shocked to [...]
