Buying Airline Tickets

Posted in Family on February 26, 2008 | 26 Comments »

If the ways of the world were left up to me, we’d probably still be using typewriters, telephones that were hooked to the wall, cash and travel agents.  If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time,  you will know that I’m really slow to embrace technology.   (Not to say that I don’t [...]

A day at the zoo

Posted in Adventures, Critters on February 24, 2008 | 25 Comments »

For today’s adventure, we decided to celebrate yet another glorious, sunny day with a trip to the zoo.  Not our normal, Woodland Park Zoo mind you.  Nope, we went to the Port Defiance Zoo and Aquarium.  (For some reason it makes me think of those old Doublemint commercials…”Two, two attractions in one”)
Amazingly, in all the [...]

A midwinter trip to the beach

Posted in Adventures, Critters, Family on February 20, 2008 | 17 Comments »

We’ve been on mid-winter break this week.   I have no idea why we have mid-winter break,  but after ten years of it, I’m finally starting to accept it…and perhaps even embrace it. 
We couldn’t have better weather for it.  The sun has been shining in a clear blue sky and the temperature has risen into the [...]

Happy Birthday to ME!

Posted in Family on February 14, 2008 | 35 Comments »

Once again….I’m turning a whole year older…today.   Despite  Shaun’s cynical observation that you slowly get older through the year, I know that he’s dead wrong mistaken.  It happens BANG! All at once.  (To prove it, I have found 17 brand new gray hairs this morning)
I’d tell you how old I just became…only I don’t know.  [...]

Brace Face

Posted in Family, Random stuff, The Feisty Redhead on February 12, 2008 | 30 Comments »

Mimi has literally been waiting years to get braces.It didn’t matter that she had watched her big sister deal with the pain that comes with tightenings  and not being able to eat so many favorite foods for nearly three years.  In fact, if anything, that made the thought of having braces even more attractive.  As [...]

“…..to hear the ONE song that is you. The song that whenever it is heard, you smile. I am not looking for the soundtrack of your life, just that one song. Your friends hear it and think of you. You can post the video, the lyrics, the [...]

The Booger Robe

Posted in Family on February 4, 2008 | 30 Comments »

Many years ago, one of my girlfriends and I went shopping on Black Friday.  This was back when people were still polite (if a little crazy) and we had the best time hunting for treasures together.  At one of the stores we came across some robes for such a ridiculously cheap price that we were [...]

For this week’s Fun Monday, Tiggerlane says
“Have you heard of The Bucket List? Well, that’s what I want from you! Make a list of things you want to do before you die. It must be at least five items – and you can make it as long as you desire. Photos are optional. And [...]

And You Can’t Make Me!

Posted in Family on February 1, 2008 | 17 Comments »

For this past week, Shaun has been feeling sicker than our dog ever thought about.  In his usual generous way, he has decided to share his icky germs with his family.  Lucky us. 
The girls and I have been getting more and more congested and generally feeling out of sorts.  KT and I have been [...]
