Contest Giveaway Winners!
Okay, that was a fun one—yall had me cracking up from the word go with your responses. And, as difficult as it was to have to choose just two, I’m going with the two that actually made me laugh out loud for real as soon as I read them: Nancy B. (Colorado) and Dave S. (Minnesota). Thanks for playing, everyone,
Introductions
“You: —out.” And just like that, I was removed from the room. Run off and unceremoniously dismissed by a monstrous regiment of women, made up of every nurse in the hospital, every female in the state, every ovary in the solar system, my mother-in-law, the (female) doctor, and my wife. No explanation other than, “You haven’t eaten in twelve hours. Go.
Um…Where’s Your Sister?
One Very Happy fourth grader… …and one Very Happy second-grader… …willing to let her brother bury her in the snow …is rescued by one Very Loyal Golden Retarded …winning the devotion of the Damsel of Pink Mittens …earning himself accolades and awards in the form of whoozagooboy? huh?? WHOOZAGOOBOY?? …which doesn’t mean you get to to shred the Damsel’s Mitten, Bailey,
WIP™ Contest Giveaway!
Right now, right outside my window, Colorado is going bonkers. That is, if it’s possible for a weather pattern to lose its mind in the form of more snow than anyone in their right mind would think appropriate, let alone called for. But Colorado (or her natives) (or her transplants) are not noted for their restraint either, so turnabout is
Never Nothing Going On
Would you look at that? If that isn’t Christmas breathing down our necks, I don’t know what is. I stepped out on the front porch this morning to give Mother Nature a chance to explain Herself and couldn’t deny Her the fine handiwork. But for that red and green enduring, it’s white everywhere. Everything, innocent again. I’ve a friend back
Don’t Look Now, But…
…looks to me like Mother Nature is about to remind us all that Winter is alive and well. And look what She left all over my backyard too. (Alright, I confess…these are photos from last winter. But let’s be honest…we know it’s coming lol).
So I Was Sorta’ Wondering…
Alright, ladies…take a break for a few minutes. Boys? Lend me your ears. So, you know how it is when you (not us, it’s others) are all wrapped around the axle, and amped up, and wired for sound, and annoyed, and on the Very Rare rampage through your world? And you know how it is when you (not us, it’s
A Little More Travel Log
First Things First: these photos were all taken on my iPhone. So if you’re impressed with that (and you should be), you’re missing the point. Because though the iPhone is this cool, Colorado is even more amazing…and you have to work really hard to get a bad photograph at the Sand Dunes. Or in the Tetons… But you can try.
Only A Mom Could Do This
…okay, yes, I spent two hours driving the kids around to unearth all they needed for their Halloween costumes. And, yes, I teamed up with the Princess of Light and Splendor to rescue from a trash bin a discarded cardboard box. And, yes, I reinforced it, taped, it, cut it, painted it, painted it again, measured, cut a little more,
Extreme Marriage: Our Edition
(It’s a long one, so grab your coffee and get comfortable.) It all started with that idiot family who hoaxed the whole world a few weeks back with the balloon thing. It’s all over now and I hope that whack job dad sits in prison for the rest of his life for what he put everyone me through. But, before
