1) We had a Brownie Girl Scout swim party today at my Mom’s. Just a quick one in the late afternoon. We had a meeting to vote on our next Journey and then everyone jumped in the pool. It was great to see everyone! 2) I have a cousin wedding this summer (we had one […]

This is what happens when the besties get together. Most of us are at a restaurant waiting for Brooke to land at Oakland airport. She landed and asked us how long we would be…

I adore Twitter for being on top of breaking news. While CNN is talking about the George Zimmerman trial. MSNBS is talking about something or other… Twitter is busy letting everyone know the live feed of Texas Senator Wendy Davis who is filibustering a Republic vote that affects abortion rights. Watching this in the last hour […]

This sums it up for me. I feel for any person who feels as if they are trapped in the wrong body. That said, I can’t help but be wary of slapping the transgender label on a child too soon. I’m not saying this is the case here, no one knows but the child and, […]

We went to the local UFC joint to do a self-defense class for our Girl Scout Troop. It was fun and all the girls had a great time. The Moms did a beginner class in boxing and learned a few tricks. Sadly, they had a great intro price to sign up… and Sam really wanted […]

It’s a new week, someone just reminded me! I just read this quick roundup by Angry Julie and loved it. My pictures are on my phone, my phone is on my desk, I’m on my computer… The task of moving everything around is exhausting. 🙂 However… HELLO MONDAY! I feel like I’m whistling the Jeopardy tune for […]

You must watch this if you haven’t yet. Hysterical. This guy is talented!
So, after talking about our experience yesterday of being robbed, the husband has been busy today talking with insurance, alarm companies, neighbors, and running errands. After talking to several neighbors it just makes me cringe to know how many burglaries are so close to us!Our next door neighbor on one side was robbed three years […]
The kids are okay. (The kids are more than fine actually, they are busy watching the rest of their movie from the long drive, they don’t notice anything.) I have my wedding ring on. The house was still standing (I always envision driving up after being away and the house just a puddle of ash […]
Funny. Everyone who knows me, knows I’m a complainer. I like to complain. I should really stop complaining so much but whatever. Anyway. I got the flu last week. I’m hardly EVER sick so it wasn’t that bad really. I usually recover from illness quickly, I’m kinda healthy. In some ways. However, I had to […]

I simply need to keep repeating that I am heart broken over today’s tragedy. It’s nothing new to say. It’s nothing interesting to say. It’s just that I am so sad. I can’t believe that a person would walk into a classroom and shoot down innocent children. This writing is mostly for me. To be sad. […]
SOMEONE… or something, rather… showed up in our house tonight. A few days ago I said THIS on Facebook: Would you people please stop doing crazy Elf on the Shelf shenanigans?? My kids are now asking why we don’t have one of those Elf people! AHHHH My evil Mother in Law promptly decided to buy […]

My beautiful Mother in Law took Sammie and I to the Nutcracker last Saturday! What a great show! She also bought the series so we will be going back to three more shows in the next six months. Can’t wait!
