How to Post a Screen Shot

Tomorrow evening, when I announce the winner of my BH&G magazine subscription giveaway, I plan to show you a screen shot from random.org so that you can see the number generated. That way you can’t accuse me of cheating or picking my best friend. If you’re interested in learning how to post a screen shot, [...]

Battle Weary

Our flag-line uniforms came in today.
When I heard the news, I was super excited. You see, last year we had problems with the company. They misinformed me about the payment schedule and when the money didn’t change hands at the correct times, our uniforms were pushed to the back of the very long line. So [...]

Nursery Nametags

At Nunu’s funeral a few weeks ago, there were several great-grandchildren that were too young to sit through the services quietly. Rather than have the married-in parents sweat it out in the hallways, Hubster’s aunts decided to hire babysitters to watch the seven kiddos in the nursery. Brilliant, yes?

Bridoodle had tons of fun playing with [...]

Wrists Burning, Eyes Blurring, Bottom Aching

I’ve spent most of the day entering giveaways. So many prizes to win. I’m sure there will be close to a thousand of them by the end of the week.
Of course, I probably won’t win any prizes. But I hope to win some new internet friends. I’ve been earmarking fun blogs to read again later. [...]

Bloggy Giveaway Carnival *** Closed

Congratulations to Ashley (no blog listed) who was commenter 193, and the winner of the BH&G mag subscription. Check your g-mail!
It’s time for the great big bloggy giveaway carnival again. One thing I’ve learned about this carnival is to keep my post short and sweet. So without further ado…
I am giving away a one year [...]

What do you do with a friendship that refuses to go where you want it to go?

That has to be the longest title I’ve ever used for a post. It’s certainly the question that’s been on my mind lately. I have two specific friends in mind. Both of these girls live near me.
My measurement for judging a relationship usually comes down to the amount of time spent with that person. If [...]

From Leftovers to Lunches in a Snap

Recently, Hubster and I have been trying to handle our finances like adults. Instead of like college kids. You see, we got in this awful habit of going out to eat …. all. the. time. Our leftovers ended up in the trash. And when I cooked us dinner, those leftovers ended up in the trash [...]

Saturday Linkages

I have recently read a few amazing posts that have changed my viewpoint on various things. These bloggers really know what they’re doing and they have inspired me many times.
~ Blink by Angie at Bring The Rain ~ This has to be Angie’s best post yet. Which, as most of you know, is truly saying [...]

A tree falls in our back yard

Around 5:53 this morning, I heard a loud noise in the backyard. “Wake up, wake up! Something just fell. Over there.” I shook Hubs awake. He rolled over and looked towards the dark window.
“Mmm kay.” His head fell back to the pillow.
So I checked the clock, and went back to sleep too. What were we [...]

Saying “No”

I am the world’s biggest sucker when people ask me to do things. When Bridoodle wants to be held, she knows exactly how to cry to get me to come pick her up. And that’s just the beginning. At work, I’m stretched thin with everything that I do. This semester, my work week will be [...]
