11/13/09 Five Things Friday

1. I’m so glad it isn’t raining again today. It still may be cold and incredibly windy, but I just couldn’t take another day of incessant rain. Supposedly it will be nice this weekend, which means maybe a nice long walk with the kids and a healthy, much-needed dose of sunny Vitamin D for all [...]

Christmas Consternation

Even though it’s a little too early in my book to deck the halls with boughs of holly, the stores and commercials on TV are doing exactly what they set out to do: get me and the rest of the world in the Christmas spirit.
Which splits me in half between excitement and dread.
 
Excited about the [...]

No words.

This has been a really rough week in general. I had the mother of all migraines this week which lasted two days and cost me precious sick hours. I have hardly any time to work with as it is…I came into work anyway Tuesday morning, although I was nauseous and sweating, made it 22 minutes [...]

Wonder Dog, Wonderful Moments, Weather, and Work

This morning was really special to me. I woke up with Gunnar in my face. He was whining and grunting at me as I lay in bed. Usually he will do this if he has to pee (and with the nasty weather he hasn’t wanted to go out much) but he brought me right into [...]

11/6/09 Five Things Friday

1. One of the funniest (and creepiest) websites of all time? www.peopleofwalmart.com. Instant pick-me-up when I’m stressed at work.
Warning: proceed with caution at work. Not because of the exposed butts and awesome walmart fashion, but because these real pictures will bring the uncontrollable “church giggles” on. I’m just sayin’.
 
2. This week is Triples week again [...]

1.   I just realized last night that Avery will graduate from high school in 2027. Twenty-Twenty-SEVEN.  Is it just me, or does this seem like FIFTY years from now???
 
2.   Right now, Boston Market is having a chicken plate for only ONE dollar. Two pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and a piece of cornbread. Mmmm. [...]

My Two Kids

Last night I had the privilege of spending family QT with my two “kids” while Mikey had to go into work.

Avery’s starting to become very interested and curious of Gunnar. She likes to watch his whirling dervishes and crazy laps around the house when he becomes excited, or watch him play with a dog toy.
She [...]

Suz’s First Adventure in Babysitting

So my buddy Suz watched Avery on Friday night for a couple hours while Mikey and I went to Carrie and Marc’s Halloween party.
She did REALLY well. We told her that we would both have our phones on us in case of any emergency, big or small, and to please call us if she had [...]

The Costume Crusade

Leave it to me to wait until the LAST minute to get my Halloween costume together. As already mentioned, our friends Carrie and Marc had a Halloween party at their house Friday night. Mikey and I were excited to get double duty out of our costumes this year, and get to have a “trial run” [...]

The Fair! The Fair!

Mikey and I went to the NC State Fair this past week. What a nice treat for us to sneak away and have a “date.” We got to hold hands and laugh with each other.  
Here’s the list of things we ate at the fair this year:
 

A gyro with lamb (my personal fave and a tradition [...]
