Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

What I Think I Know - A monthly tongue in cheek commentary of things I’ve learned (or so I think)….
I think I was probably about 8 or 9 years old when my parents, older brother, and I took a two week vacation out west in a non-air conditioned station wagon.  We were on our way to [...]

I’ve Become One of THOSE People

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

I like to pretend I’m laid back and easy going. You know the kind, the person that doesn’t sweat the small stuff, worry about deadlines, or doesn’t need a “do list” to get the most basic things in life accomplished. And every year I pretend I’m one of the laid back cool people [...]

He Misses Me

Monday, July 9th, 2007

While at home and going about our busy lives, my husband often takes the time to quietly complain about my compulsiveness. My need to have order, control, and a chaos free life he does not always appreciate. How I can’t go anywhere with dishes in the sink, how I can’t leave for vacation [...]

Oh…I Didn’t Think You Meant that Couch…

My friend Bobette over at Marketing Strategies has invited me to join in this fun game. Thanks, Bobette!

I’m a huge Alan Jackson fan and have just about every one of his songs downloaded to my iPod.
I don’t have any patience for whiners. I avoid them like the plague.
I don’t believe in coincidence. [...]

Excuse Me, But Do You Have Butterscotch?

Monday, December 4th, 2006

Someone needs to talk to my 4 year old. She obviously doesn’t understand my quest for a Frazzle Free Christmas. One bright early morning she came bounding into me exclaiming that she was also going to ask Santa for Butterscotch, the FurReal Pony. You know the one that eats carrots? [...]

Am I Really that Desperate?

Friday, November 17th, 2006

I love the show Desperate Housewives, but after last week’s episode I may have to reconsider….
I was all settled in my nice big chair in front of the warm fire, legs propped up on the ottoman and a lap full of Christmas cards. I was so proud of myself. I was staying on [...]
