One Hand, One Hip
We’re underway, folks. We’re about to pull the trigger and start the renovations and repairs on the bathrooms and the laundry room. See that little hand? That little hand is on that little hip and chock full of Manager Of Planet Earth. I know that hand. VERY. WELL. I would’ve just stood there beside her as we surveyed the hot
It’s As Bad As It Looks
Please take a close look at that photo—but not too close because Cute Redhead just might sense you’re gaze somewhere out there in the Universe and have a heart attack and die. And where she has some self-respect, I have…well…lol none. Because she would stand out in the middle of oncoming traffic before letting the world know that this is
A Really Good Fight
Okay, I hate to do this to you all again…but, trust me: this one wraps up with a little more substance than just torturing you one more time with the beef tenderloin and red wine reduction sauce. Which I made again. For the fifth time in less than a month. Because I am pathetic it’s that good. But I need
Don’t Look Now
See those? You know what they are, so don’t even pretend to act stupid. Don’t even pretend you don’t love them. And don’t even pretend you don’t love them after they’ve been in the freezer and gotten oh-so-perfectly-chilled. And don’t even pretend you would’t eat them for breakfast. That’s right, folks: Thin Mints! But this actually has nothing to do
The Patience of Todd
“Where hast thou come from?” “From roaming hither and yon throughout the earth and going back and forth within it.” “Hast thoughy considered my servant, Todd? There is no one on earth likened unto him; he is blameless and upright, a righteous man who doth fear God and shuns plumbing.” “Does Todd fear God for nothing? Hast Thou not put
Just You Wait
Where I grew up, St. Clair, Michigan, for the curious, we had a garden. A huge garden. And you know how when you travel back to the home of your youth and meet, once again, the things you knew as a child and wonder how space and time manages to shrink everything? Yeah, well this isn’t the case in the
Making Up
Aren’t those beautiful? White roses for my darling wife. And, yes, I know tomorrow is Valentines Day…but you know what? That’s not why I got them for her. I got them for her because she’s kind. Yes, kind. Kind and forgiving. So I decided I’d spend a bit of my Saturday morning fixing the sink in her bathroom. Seems the
The Dress
She wore me down. She and her mother, that is. I had every intention of waiting until Valentines Day to give her the dress she’d been begging for (every single day since the day she INFORMED me what I would be getting her for Valentines Day) (the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree). But last night, at dinner
Seriously
If you have to be inside because it’s a school night… …and you have to have a fire because it’s snowing… …and you have to do your homework…because you have to… …is there any better place to do it than in momma’s lap by the fire? Seriously. Is there? (answer: No)
Keep The Light
Yes, I know it’s pretty. But it’s also March February. And though the east coast is losing its collective mind over more snow than its ever seen since snow was invented, I’m rather done with the whole show. Which isn’t very smart of me considering the fact that Colorado winter has yet to truly show herself. Everything is brown, and
