Life, Family, Everything..
I was in the mood for a laugh, so I looked up some funny stuff. I took the following off Funny Sayings and Quotes. Hope it amuses you, too 🙂 Perspective is in the eye of the beholder. Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society. Do not use a hatchet to remove a fly from your friend’s forehead....
Our second child, Pierce, is 3. He’s my high-maintenance one. From the time he was a week old, he wanted to be stuck back to me. I would go to bed and Paul (who always stays up later than me) would take the midnight feeding. For about 5-6 nights (at a week), baby would cry for 2-3 hours, no matter what we did. One...
Paul’s new car got me thinking about my first one, so I thought I’d share a piece of my past. 🙂 This is a 1968 Mercury Cougar. Not mine, but just like mine. Mine was even red. It was my brother’s when I was 15/16, but he wrecked it. It got fixed, but was left in in our field for about a year. This...
Lately we’ve decided to cut back on our spending. We’ve cut Rhapsody, Starz movie channels, groceries (splurges/unnecessary stuff), and this week car payments. How? We traded in Paul’s ’02 Altima to a ’04 Corolla S. Trading cut not only car payments, but gas (yay!) as well. On our way home from the dealership, we stopped and got milk. I remarked to Paul, “You realize...
A friend sent me a great list of holiday cakes, so instead of sharing all if them, here’s the link to the site. Once I got there, I remembered it from when my oldest was really little…it’s great. There’s so much fun stuff! It’s got things for kids, like letters to Santa, activities, and stories. I went ahead and bookmarked it since this post...
The rumor is Washington Mutual went under because of a run on the bank yesterday. Word on the ‘net is that there have been a few other runs around the country. Sound familiar? The government is trying not to say the word “depression”…instead they’re saying “recession.” Recession as in bald guy or just receding hair line? We learned about the Great Depression in the...
My sister sent me a great link to Family Fun magazine with tons of Halloween fun stuff. It’s pretty awesome, so I’ll share it! Right here.
You know those stories of dog-saving-owner? Check this out. An Arizona German shepherd named Buddy has called 911 3 times! His owner has seizures, so he was trained to call for help. His owner Joe Stalnaker adopted him at 8 weeks from a Michigan Paws with a Cause, an organization that trains for special-needs owners. The dog is now 18 months old, and can...
First, we finally started our composting. Since it’s the end of our garden for the year, we’re doing the “dump and bury” method suggested to me earlier by 32 Flavors. Next year in the spring we’ll probably go for the more complex method Midwest Mom told me they do. Second, I decided what I want to be when I grow up. A weatherwoman. Seriously,...
