Dammit to Hell – My Dad Had Another Stroke!
September 16th, 2008 — family
He had one earlier this year (maybe his first, maybe his second). I was able to go out there for a week once he got out of the hospital to help him get ready to be home alone and to get him hooked up with the various social services.
Granted, I don’t yet know anything, but [...]
You Got Mud on Your Face, You Big Disgrace
June 29th, 2008 — family, life, merriment, music
somebody better put you back into your place!
Yeah, yeah, so I’m a bit of a Queen fan. Actually, I tend to forget just how much I love Queen until I hear them on the radio. And well, then I just can’t seem to stop singing along and dancing in the driver’s seat. ‘Cuz Queen, well, [...]
It’s Official…It’s May
May 2nd, 2008 — check it out, family, friends, life, links, love, merriment
It’s amazing to me how much of the year has gone by already. I mean, really, it’s May! For us, May pretty much starts the summer season. Concert season begins and vacations happens. Our anniversary starts it all off on May 1st and in my husband’s family, it’s officially the start of [...]
At Least I Was Expecting It
April 3rd, 2008 — family, life, the hubby
To put it simply, my husband’s side of the family seems to be lacking some social graces. They are absolutely wonderful people and I love spending time with them. But…you knew a but was coming….but…they just don’t get the concept of event planning.
It wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to come home to a message [...]
Don’t Do It!!! Don’t Go Out There!
December 19th, 2007 — family, life, life lessons, shopping
I just got back from running a few last minute Christmas errands and great balls of Santa! Do not go out there! Everything, even the grocery store is a crazy mess. There are lines of cars just trying to enter the shopping centers! People are cutting each other off and not saying [...]
Post Wedding Festivities with Dad
December 6th, 2007 — family, life, memories, photos
My life was thrown for a bit of a loop late yesterday. I’m hoping that things will work out for the best, but really, my hands are tied and there’s nothing that I could do to change anything. I’ll find out more this evening, and then I’ll figure out how best [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
November 22nd, 2007 — family, gratitude, life
I’m sure I could wax on (and on and on) about how thankful I am (‘cuz let’s face it, I am thankful for so many wonderful things) or about the meaning of Thanksgiving or whatnot. But really, I just don’t want to. Instead, I’d rather spend the next couple of non-family-obligation hours just [...]
Thanksgiving Planning
November 19th, 2007 — family, gratitude, life
It was asked that we (all three remaining siblings) provide the sides for Thanksgiving while the other sibling provides the turkey. That’s it. No other direction, no other organization. So, the hubby and I have taken it upon ourselves to provide dishes that we know we like and that more than likely, [...]
It’s Friday, Let’s Get Random
November 16th, 2007 — family, friends, life
No matter how long you try to be good, you can’t keep a bad girl down.
Man, I’m exhausted. I mean too exhausted to even try to be a bad girl (but I’m lovin’ Gossip Girl and I love Kristin Bell’s narration on there and well, that’s just a great quote). So let the randomness begin…
Man, [...]
And Speaking of Lists…
November 7th, 2007 — family, life
It’s about that time that I put some serious thought into my Christmas list. The hubby won’t step foot into a mall, so anything I want needs to be able to be found online (I typically do an amazon.com list). For the family (the in-laws) we draw names and have a $50 limit, so that’s [...]
