Post #200

Posted in Random stuff on November 28, 2006 | 9 Comments »

This is the 200th post I’ve made since I started blogging!
I noticed it right before I started to write something the other day and thought that I should write something poignant instead.  So, I waited for something to come to mind, but what I really wanted to write about was something else.  So I did nothing.  So…in [...]

The Mayflower

Posted in It's all Relative, It's all about me! on November 23, 2006 | 13 Comments »

In the days surrounding Thanksgiving some people start talking about what they are thankful for.  Others (mostly school kids) start talking about the Pilgrims.  The main topic is that the Pilgrims built the Mayflower and left England to escape religious persecution.  They arrived in the New World, stepped off onto Plymouth Rock and befriended the [...]

Persevere and Oversome WWC

Posted in It's all Relative, The Feisty Redhead, The Teenager, Weekend Words on November 21, 2006 | 8 Comments »

I had every intention of posting my Weekend Words as hosted by Oddmix, but my parents showed up earlier than expected.  They were supposed to slowly tool along in their RV, but instead, Dad persevered through the night and managed to overcome common sense.  Normally, this wouldn’t be such a big deal (I may have [...]

Why Aren’t I in school?

Posted in A Family Affair, Random stuff on November 17, 2006 | 12 Comments »

Mimi sleepily shuffled down the hall around ten yesterday morning and asked me why she wasn’t in school.  I told her that I tried to wake her up but that I was feeling really sick and fell back to sleep before she crawled out of bed.  The power of suggestion was just as strong as [...]

A Little Girl Time

Posted in It's all about me! on November 12, 2006 | 6 Comments »

I’m currently at Fort Worden on the Olympic Peninsula.  I’m supposed to be scrap booking, as this is technically a Scrapbook Retreat, but I really haven’t gotten much done in that department.  Instead, I have been chatting with my girlfriends, visiting with women that I haven’t seen in nearly a year and just hanging out.  [...]

Black Eyed Susan

When KT was about two, she ran into something and got herself a doozy of a shiner.  It didn’t seem to hurt her much, but she was rather alarmed at her appearance. (Yes, even at that young age, she loved looking at herself in the mirror!)  We decided to convince her that all those lovely [...]

Adventures in Roof Cleaning

Posted in Adventures, It's all about me! on November 2, 2006 | 15 Comments »

I’ve always been of the “Do it yourself” persuasion.  I grew up that way.  My parents were always fixing things by themselves.  If they didn’t exactly know how to do whatever it was, well, they simply faked it.  It didn’t always end up how they had planned, but that never stopped them. Shaun, on the [...]

Halloween Fun

Posted in A Family Affair on November 1, 2006 | 8 Comments »

Apparently, now that Halloween is over, the poll is no longer haunted.   “Starry Starry Night”, carved by our very own Mimi won by a landslide! Second place was the cannibalistic “Peter Pumpkin Eater”, carved by a very smug Shaun. (Funny how you figured that one out)  Bringing up third place was my “Mr. Happy” and KT’s [...]
