The Weekend in Review

In short.  It was great.  Sunday we did church, got pelted with candy kisses by the lady who did children’s time, surprised the boy with Olive Garden, then came home and napped and watched TV.  Yesterday came home after dropping the kiddies and treated myself to some more supine time, then got up and got [...]

call me crazy…

but am I the only one that isn’t surprised that if you put a baby in one of these, up on a countertop or table, that this might happen in that “split second” that you are turned around peeling potatos?

An Admission of Sorts

I am not afraid to die. 
I am afraid of the dreaded C-word.  Cancer. 
I’ve been a medical transcriptionist for, gosh, about 13 or 14 years now and I’ve always blamed my illogical feelings about cancer on the fact that I hear so much about it…every kind of it.  My friend Teresa, who is also a medical transcriptionist, or [...]

Lillian and Bert
I’m not really sure how long we even stayed with Olene, but the time we spent there was priceless – I do know that.  Of an evening at Olene’s lots of times we’d sit in old metal lawn chairs and eat watermelon.  Sometimes, she and I would rake her dirt.  She didn’t have a lot [...]

As impressive as it is to look at, it [...]

miscellany

First and foremost, I am happy to annouce that the dog fever passed and common sense prevailed.  That part of my brain that realizes that most times I can hardly stand the ones we have overruled the part that was saying how sweet and perfect the new dog was going to be.  Most of all, [...]

wow

seems the mr. and the cohorts at work did themselves such a good job last quarter that the boss decided to give them a little bonus…which means that the mr. came home from the store today with a big ol’ what-a-burger” bag that he gave to the boy to give to me and inside it [...]

Lord knows that the two furry things that inhabit this place are plenty for anyone.  What with Jack, the miniature wire-haired dachsund, and the biggass cat, Max, why would I possibly even be entertaining the idea at all!?! 
I know. I know.
It’s just that the ever faithful, chronically plagued with doggy dermatitis backyard doggy, Abby, has gone [...]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Today is the kind of day in Texas where I am reminded once again that God doesn’t really hate me and fall is, indeed, going to come again.  Yes, a cool front has wafted over us here in north texas and I could kiss it right on the mouth.  when it arrived late last evening [...]
