Our Adventure~Day 2, eh?

I have to say that it was really nice to leisurely wake up to the sound of a flowing river instead of a dog desperately whining to go outside.  As I basked in the sun and sipped my coffee on our balcony, I mentioned to Shaun that I would like to have a river in [...]

Our Adventure~Day One

We got a bright and early start leaving town shortly before noon.  Shaun, of course, had to laugh at all the things I needed to bring.  Naturally I’ve discovered several things that I’ve forgotten…and you know it’s all his fault. 
My first choice of the Olympic Peninsula was nixed because the temperature over there was a [...]

And We’re Off!

For various reasons…well really just two…Shaun and I haven’t gone off on any sort of vacation with just the two of us.   That, ladies and gentlemen is about to change. 
Tomorrow morning, shortly after the Crack of Dawn (so somebody says) we will climb up into the Big Orange Jeep and go…somewhere.  That place hasn’t [...]

The Drama Queen

When Mimi was in about second grade, she had a favorite article of clothing that she would have worn every day is we had let her.  It was a hot pink tee shirt that proudly proclaimed in sparkling letters that she was a “Drama Queen”. 
This was one shirt that nobody would ever argue with.  [...]

Holes

I grew up as pretty much a city girl.  Or at least city enough to not have to worry about what happens after you flush the toilet.  Out here, in the almost boonies, we have something called a septic tank. 
As far as I can figure out, everything that is flushed down the drain goes into [...]

Last week I was tagged by Stephanie to do the Random Things meme.   It reminded me that I had been tagged for this a while back.  But, um….I can’t for the life of me remember WHO tagged me.   I went back and looked on the blog of who I thought it was, but couldn’t find [...]

Relay for Life: Part II

I just came back from dropping KT off at the school hosting the Relay for Life.  It was…um…interesting. 
The information coming home with KT has been pretty much non-existent.   Basically a sheet of paper from the American Cancer Society with a location and contact information.  So, I was missing out on a few key, yet essential [...]

Relay for Life

Our KT  has decided, at the very last minute, that she wants to participate on her school’s Relay for Life Team.  She will be raising money for the American Cancer Society. (She has a day to do so!)  If  you would like to help out and sponsor her, please go here.  Thanks!

My Big Toe

For reasons unknown to me, my dad has been wanting me to tell this story.  Personally, I think that there are some stories that really should be allowed to die a peaceful death, however…
Eons ago, when I still lived at home,  one of my best friends had a phobia about driving.  Ericka had been in a [...]

The Haircut

Yesterday, on the spur of the moment, we stopped and got a haircut for KT.   Today, I’ve decided that I hate it.
Technically, it wasn’t really spur of the moment.  This haircut was about three years in the planning.  Back in sixth grade, KT was selected as one of the two recipients of the CP Johnson [...]
