Just for fun

On the way home from school today, KT and I stopped at the library so that I could pick up one of my books that I had on hold.  Of course, we had to wander around a bit and see what other yummy stuff we could find.
When I was finally ready to go, I went [...]

WWC–beauty and it’s beholder

Today’s Weekend Word Challenge, hosted by The Odd Mix asks us to show some beauty and it’s beholder.  (I personally think he should have asked for the beast, but that’s just me)
For Beauty I really wanted to capture a magical moment of my day.  I laid across my bed this afternoon, reading my book, listening to the [...]

SPF–weapons!

 
Yep, it’s time for SPF, the photo game that ANYONE can play! (Kristine said so!) 
She must be feeling a bit feisty this week as she has an interesting assignment.  We’ve been asked to post:
Something mean looking
Our weapons
Our hiding spot
OK, here goes!

My petty revenge

I hadn’t planned on volunteering at Day Camp. I just sorta ended up as a volunteer. I happen to have a very persuasive friend, a weakness for Girl Scouts, a child that has gone to camp nearly every year and being unable to say “no” with ease. So all this week, I have been working [...]

Random kid conversation #42

KT and I were driving down the road, belting it out along with the radio when all of a sudden she made the strangest statement.  Usually I can tell where she’s going with something, but this one rare time, she had me confused.
 KT: Grandpa’s a Hobbit.  (can you tell what she’s been into lately?)
Me: Huh?
KT: [...]

Computer Gremlins

As you may know, I’m not exactly a computer geek. When something happens that is unexpected or isn’t supposed to happen I go into “whine mode”. I don’t want to think about why my computer doesn’t want to work, I just want it to work. Is that too much to ask?
Fortunately, I happen to be [...]

WWC Happy Birthday!

Just because it’s the Odd Man’s  birthday, he thinks we should post pictures of Gift and Giver.  Well, who am I to argue with the Birthday Boy?
Gift

 This weekend my girlfriend offered us the gift of hanging out in an air-conditioned room and play in the pool with them.  In this raging heat wave, it was [...]

Gremlins and WWC

My comptuter is having trouble (because of the heat, Shaun says).  I personally think it has Gremlins. 
I will post WWC (and tell you all about those pesky Gremlins!) this evening.  I’m off to roast play at Day Camp all this week.

Complete

Three and a half weeks ago, half of my family left for a glorious road trip.  Yesterday, they came home. We’ve been having a wonderful time reaquainting ourselves with each other and catching up on all the little things that we didn’t get to with phone calls and email. 
It’s a good thing to have everyone [...]

Fun with power tools

Before I was allowed to get my first driver’s license, my dad insisted on teaching me some basics about the car. As you can imagine, I was highly motivated to learn how to change a tire and a few other emergency tricks as well as everyday maintenance. A few years later, when I bought my [...]
