What I Learned This Week

December 13, 2010

The weather guy here in Charleston told a big, fat fib. We were supposed to have several feet of snow yesterday, but instead, we got just enough for the big wigs at the Board of Education to cancel school. That means I slept late and got lots of stuff done today. Before bedtime last night, [...]

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 [...]

Family Christmas Letter

November 23, 2010

I am one of those people. One of those people who send the highly anticipated Christmas letter.  Ahem. Each year, I attempt to write an entertaining letter. The last thing I want to do is come off sounding like Braggy McBraggerson even though it would be very easy to do when you have two super [...]

Cute Christmas Letters and Chocolate, Jermagesty

November 23, 2010

It’s the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. It is also Thanksgiving break here in our school district which means NO ALARM CLOCK for the McFamily this week! And for that, I am seriously thankful. Today, I completed Phase 2 of the annual McFamily Christmas Card project which means that all 16 boxes of cards have been signed and the address [...]

I’d love it if you’d like my page!

November 19, 2010

In the past 24 hours, I have wasted precious time sleeping, or at least trying to. I have not felt the greatest and didn’t have the least bit of energy to do one single thing. I’m hoping by the time you read this I’ll be back to normal because I am way too busy to [...]

American Idol – Final Thoughts

May 26, 2010

I’ve been dreading this night for a number of weeks. Not only is this the final show of the season. This is the end of a freakin’ era internets. A nine-season era that I’ve witnessed from the comfort of my living room. A nine-season that has brought me a lot of joy. I’ve been a [...]

American Idol – Final Two

May 25, 2010

This is their final chance. And THIS is American Idol. It’s a big night of television internets. First, I’ll spend some time here with the fine folks at American Idol, and then I’ll head over to DWTS and cheer for hottie Maks. I’m sitting at home in my big, blue, bloggy chair fighting a stubborn case [...]

Perfectly Random

May 19, 2010

Thirteen things rattling around in my brain today. 1. We have only about three weeks of school left. I am looking forward to the day when I can bid adieu to the alarm clock and depend solely on my internal clock which will surely show me some mercy the first couple of weeks. 2. I am [...]

American Idol – Top 3

May 18, 2010

This is the fight for the finale’. And THIS is American Idol. Two songs for the evening. One chosen by the contestant and one chosen by the judges. Casey James  (Okay, It’s All Right With Me) –  I’ve never heard this song, but I love the bluesy feel of it. It suits his voice very well, [...]

American Idol – Top 4

May 11, 2010

We’re down to the Top 4. And THIS is American Idol. And if I was a bettin’ woman, (which I am), I would bet it’s Casey’s week to go home. Unless, of course, he pulls something out of his hat tonight that we’ve not yet seen. Jamie Foxx is the mentor. Jamie Foxx,  you know, [...]
