Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum

November 22, 2010

Some time ago, McDaddy mentioned that the Jeep Club had been invited to participate in a flashlight tour of a lunatic asylum located about 10o miles from our house. Being the freakweird person that I am, I immediately said, “We should go!” On Friday afternoon we said goodbye to the kids, grabbed our overnight bag (yes, [...]

Wasn’t Me!

November 15, 2010

I am sitting on my big, blue, bloggy couch with my knee propped up. McDaddy and I are watching Desperate Housewives and I am freezing. Just after McDaddy grabbed a blanket, I mentioned that maybe we should turn the ceiling fans off. He then told me some kind of nonsense about the fans pushing hot air from [...]

My OCD sent me a thank you card today

November 9, 2010

I am an organizer by nature. Which is funny because my the stuff in my head is anything but organized, as is obvious if you’ve spent any amount of time around here. That’s not to say that my house is always organized and tidy. It means instead, that I just function better when things are as [...]

Inmates, Embalming, and Minding Your Own Business

October 12, 2010

Over in my side-bar I have a Feedjit box that tells me who’s visiting, where they came from, and how they arrived. I often chuckle at the things that people search for on Google. Don’t get me wrong, I am one of those people. I Google frequently and have no problem admitting that I look for [...]

My Humble Opinion

October 11, 2010

Have You Seen My Bags?

September 28, 2010

They appeared out of nowhere. Totally uninvited. They are dark. They are overbearing. And they would not under any circumstances, go away no matter how big a fit I threw and believe me if there’s one thing I know, it’s how to throw a fit. Throw it. Pitch it. Toss it. To really do a [...]

The crazy gets the best of me sometimes…

September 27, 2010

It’s time for another award-winning edition of What I Learned This Week. Not that I’ve ever actually won any awards, but shoot, in today’s world of cyber awards anything, and I mean ANYTHING is possible. After all, who would have thought when I first started this blog back in November, 2008, that less than two [...]

Kinky In Helsinki

September 17, 2010

It’s one of those nights where I have a lot to say, but struggle with the ability to get it all down in a cohesive manner. You know, kinda like every single day here at From Inmates To Playdates. For starters, I enjoyed breakfast and a pedicure with my BFF, Becky on Wednesday. As I [...]

I Am Not A Morning Person

September 1, 2010

I am not a morning person. For that reason you should not expect a picture of the beautiful sunrise that can be seen from our back deck in the mornings within the context of this post. Not that I’ve ever witnessed a sunrise from the back deck, because, um, have I mentioned I’m not a [...]
