You Capture – Peace

August 19, 2009

I was a little surprised at this week’s You Capture challenge. PEACE. We don’t get much of that around here because did I mention I come from a long line of loud? But, after thinking about the word peace, I knew this was going to be an easy week for me. Take a look at [...]

Taking A Deep Breath

August 2, 2009

We’ve had six months of tears, doubt and massive heartache. I didn’t even mind fighthing with 30 red, white and blue balloons because they were all tangled together and because the wind was blowing like mad. Folks, its been an exciting week at the McResdence. I felt like a nervous school girl as I prepared for the homecoming and [...]

Doing The Math

July 31, 2009

It’s been exactly 180 days since McDaddy left for the incredibly long 6-month deployment. Remember the M&M bowls? The bowls that Stevie and Alex made for themeselves and McDaddy that were filled with 182 M&Ms. One M&M for every day that they would be apart? So much has happened since that day. Y’all know that numbers are [...]

A Little Bit of Randomness

July 21, 2009

What I learned this week…. Hmph…. I should probably call this post rambling all the way to nowhere. Because for one, it is random rambling and for two, well, I’ll be rambling randomly.  1. When left to my own devices with the iPhone, the laptop, the iTunes and my iPod, there is a pretty good chance that [...]

Not A Creature Was Stirring Except For The Mouse

July 15, 2009

Before we left for our two-week vacation in New Hampshire, I thought it would be a good idea to wash my kitchen cabinets and counter tops off. I was armed with Clorox Kitchen cleaner, a magic eraser, and motivation. The latter always makes a job like that more thrilling. As I was wiping, swiping and [...]

A Day In The Life

July 13, 2009

Some weeks I find myself frantically writing my “What I Learned This Week” post at the last possible minute. Sort of like what I did in college a time or two. Oh, Economics I hated you so!!! Other weeks, (like this one) my entire “What I Learned This Week” unfolds in one day allowing me ample [...]

A Little Crabby Thanks To The Rain

June 10, 2009

This weeks YOU CAPTURE challenge is Nature. I thought about so many different things that I could capture. Stevie and Alex had Lightning McQueen and his posse all lined up in a dirt pile over the weekend pretending it was Willy’s Butte. (That entire sentence will mean nothing to you non-Lightning McQueen fans!) Unfortunately, I [...]

A Little Time… A Big Change

June 1, 2009

I am so excited to announce that I finally completed a project that I’ve been wanting to do since we moved into our house seven years ago. (I have no idea what is up with the spacing on WordPress today. It is enough to send my OCD soaring…. GRRRR.) I had so many ideas going into [...]

I Hate Dust!

May 13, 2009

I hate to dust. What I hate even more is moving the dust along instead of the dust actually clinging to my dust rag. That’s why I love the Swiffer Duster. I used the swiffer duster yesterday to clean the blades of my ceiling fan and when I was finished the swiffer thing was a nasty [...]

Thursday Thirteen – The Letter “K”

April 22, 2009

It’s Thursday. Time for the letter “K” Let’s kick this thing off with one of my favorite “K” words. 1. KRIS ALLEN – Kris is my second favorite contestant on American Idol this season. On top of his singing ability, I think he is a cutie. He may replace Michael Phelps as my newest boyfriend [...]
