Summer is ending

Summer is almost over.  The end to lazy days is near.  I’ve had blogshame for weeks, but I just couldn’t muster the energy to write anything.  Here is a run-down of the happenings of late:
Hannah is a bit of a nudist.  She keeps taking off her diaper whenever she gets tired of it.  I thought [...]

Sorry, I needed a laugh

Do not watch this movie… its gross. Robert Downey Jr was amazing, but seeing a fat Tom Cruise dance like an idiot is all you need to see. Seriously.

11 years

Eleven years ago today, BJay and I got married. What I remember from that morning are
1. I didn’t want to wash my hair the day before because I didn’t want my hair to be too curly.
2. I didn’t have any white shoes so I wore slippers with my wedding dress (even [...]

If you don’t hear from me…

The Reindeer Shop project I signed up for is at mission critical. We have less than 2 weeks to go and we’re at just over 1/2 of our completed inventory. I’m in the midst of a sewing nightmare/frenzy. I will be finished with this just in time to get my own Christmas [...]

If you don’t want to take the time to read this, basically VOTE!  OBAMA WANTS YOU TO BELIEVE THE ELECTION IS [...]

Adrift

I’m searching for those dead old glooms.
I set out for a time adrift.
This body, this mind are not all spent.
Its scarred and lovely, warm and pure.
I’ve set out for a time, adrift.
Forgetting all but litanies of self-reproach.
Forgetting all but empty words.
Forgetting all but mundane tasks.
I’ve set out for a time, adrift.
Watching from the back to [...]

Because they help children

There are so many military families in our community, I almost feel like the oddball sometimes.  The core group of us who are volunteering for the Reindeer Shop are all military except me.  At church, all the men our age are military.  Sometimes BJay talks about joining the military just to fit in.  Its come [...]

A. Don’t worry about it…
