Funny Cancer Stories
(August 17, 2006 at 3:47 PM )
Yes, I do SO know funny cancer stories! Sure, I know a few grim ones but doesn't everyone? It takes ... style ... to have FUNNY cancer stories. The same kind of style that leads people to wear wildly colored...
Back!
(June 27, 2006 at 3:22 PM )
Rolled in late last night. Hundreds of miles. Dozens of constructions. Four small children and me. Arriving home four days early to surprise my husband? Priceless. Only turned on the computer to get an address. And posted this to find...
Hey! You There!
(April 18, 2006 at 7:05 PM )
Yes, I mean you. Well, I might mean you. I might not. Depends on who you are. I noticed this at Admiral Quixote's site (which isn't dead afterall). Its a SHOPPING QUESTION! He doesn't have ANY responses, which is sad...
Sometimes, It Just Works Out
(April 17, 2006 at 4:58 AM )
Life is odd. Full of small unfortunate agrravations. In the grand scheme of things, not so very important. But still a bitter pill. For example, Samantha dated a guy who was a user-n-abuser. He happens to work at THE hip...
Lets Start A Meme!
(March 07, 2006 at 2:23 PM )
Do NOT miss Leni's post today about lunatic relatives! Its a trip! I found myself thinking about my own "odd" relatives, and wondering about everyone else's. See, reading Leni you'd never guess that she has totally insane relatvies! She seems...
Did You See This !?!
(February 14, 2006 at 11:15 PM )
HE IS THE MOST FABULOUS MAN THAT EVER LIVED! If you can read that without crying little happy tears, you're a bitterer person than I am!...
Wooooooooo Hoooooooooooooo!
(February 08, 2006 at 5:27 AM )
Yahooooooo! My site is fixed. REALLY fixed! I've heard rumors comments no longer need to be "approved". You type it, you post it, you see it asap. And I can blog all the new entries I want now that I'm...
Quixote Out Of Coma
(January 30, 2006 at 3:14 PM )
Well, he's posting again. And STILL too lazy to get rid of typepad commenting service ;)...
The Memory Of A Story
(January 11, 2006 at 1:50 PM )
I saw an abulance yesterday driving through the neighborhood. It crossed the street in front of me, slowly. Quietly. No lights or sirens. I suppose thats what grabbed my attention. Generally when I think of ambulances, I think of lights...
The Santa Game
(January 09, 2006 at 6:41 PM )
I'm fascinated by how different families handle the issue of Santa. Personally, I've explained to our children that we like playing The Santa Game. Much in the same way we play The Toothfairy Game, which my husband turned into The...
Norman Finds His Niche
(November 21, 2005 at 3:44 PM )
Norman could no more imagine dieing as a civilian than I could imagine being abducted by aliens. Then came the training accident. Since the very beginning, Norman had always had the great conviction that he would die a Ranger and...
It Depends On The Village
(November 15, 2005 at 5:52 PM )
I'm sure we've all heard the saying "It takes a village to raise a child". While I'm aware of the feel-good thought behind it being that a sense of community is important to children, I'm also a little put off...
Response To Paul's "Chopper Dream"
(September 21, 2005 at 6:31 PM )
Check out "Let the Finder Beware" on my left sidebar. Paul has the most active imagination! But its nothing compared to the weird dreams created out of pregnancy-related hormones! For example, a few days ago I watched LOTR:TwoTowers. For some...
How To Dump Your Girlfriend, But Not Really
(August 02, 2005 at 4:14 PM )
Sam and I have known Norman our entire lives. We love him to distraction. He's a GREAT guy -- a career in special-forces ended by a training accident, almost 40, charming, funny, smart, well-educated, well-traveled, ruggedly handsome. He's a catch!...
Stinky Stinky Boys
(June 17, 2005 at 4:00 PM )
There'a danger in raising a housefull of children of only one gender. One day you might realize that you've raised a bunch of sexist-pigs, which is especially interesting if you're raising a bunch of females. A few days ago I...
I (heart) Paul Burgess
(April 21, 2005 at 8:17 PM )
Sometimes I'm a slacker, especially about my "blogroll" which isn't really a blogroll but rather a convienent list of blogs I like to visit daily. Not one of those scratch-my-back-and-I'll-link-you-too kinda lists. I have a confession. First I cruise my...
Things I Don't Normally Think About
(April 02, 2005 at 4:26 PM )
I'm still weak while recovering from the flu, pneumonia, whatever. I find myself watching a lot of TV. Or just laying around thinking. Last night I saw a video for "I Believe" by Diamond Rio. Part of the lyrics are...
Comments Dead, Again
(March 29, 2005 at 5:43 PM )
Thank goodness Leni emailed me :) Plus she emailed what she was going to comment before they died, again. It seems a shame to lose all that commenting. So, I'm going to change things a little bit until my tech...
That Time Of Year ...
(March 03, 2005 at 10:52 PM )
Its that time of year again ... Daffodils are sprouting, trees are greening, Mormons are roaming. I met two pleasant earnest young Mormons while I was "walking" the kids around the block today. They inevitably remind me of a friend...
The King Has Left The Grocery Store
(February 20, 2005 at 3:04 PM )
No, not Elvis. The King-Of-Fools has been to the grocery store, twice. And been successful both times. The King is a clever young fellow, and I'm sure he can learn from other's mistakes. Although, he does seem pleased with his...
Words Have Power
(February 14, 2005 at 5:40 PM )
Today I realized words have power when I saw a picture of the King-of-Fools' Queen. She looks NOTHING like Queen Elizabeth! I'm also reminded of a basic psych class in college. Unfortunately, I can't remember the professors name with any...
Cookout In A Crop-circle
(December 08, 2004 at 5:52 PM )
I've decided that the total success of the Christmas Party can not be fully appreciated without a more detailed example of past gatherings. Before I realized these crazed mid-westerners needed some loving help. The most recent example of a Sunday...
I Survived the Christmas Party
(December 08, 2004 at 5:12 PM )
We had our SundaySchool party here at our house last night. Yes, I went totally nuts getting organized, extra-child-proofed, cleaned, and cooked. Yes, on a Tuesday night. That way, Travis could come and everyone went home at a reasonable time...
I'd Like You To ...
(December 01, 2004 at 3:24 PM )
... pray for Dean's mother from DeansWorld. Its hard on a family to have any kind of extra-drama during the holidays, even if its an opportunity for change and improvement....
Sorry, I'm Late (and about half crazed)
(November 23, 2004 at 3:19 PM )
Although I would have preferred late-and-calm. Better late than never, I suppose. Of course, my "supposings" and judgement are not to be trusted at this particular moment. I've been abandoned here at home alone with FIVE children. Hmmm. You might...
Temporarily Out Of Coma
(November 12, 2004 at 3:27 PM )
The site is temporarily out of the coma because I want to make sure that none of my readers miss the prayer request over at King-Of-Fools. Coma resuming....
Sheilah's Question
(April 22, 2004 at 5:11 AM )
I was over at Sheilah's World, and saw the post about her favorite childhood memories. She wanted to know what her readers loved from their childhoods. You just KNOW that I can talk (or ramble) practically forever, so I thought...
LONG LIVE THE KING!
(April 17, 2004 at 4:08 AM )
The King Of Fools is the best website designer in the world! Not to mention, he's just the nicest man on earth. I can say that with a straight face (not even excepting my husband) because he just did something...
Resistance Is Futile
(March 11, 2004 at 7:23 PM )
I was talking on the phone to a distant friend about how we spent the weekend. My husband and I had a great time taking the kids to the Kiwanas pancake breakfast fundraiser! They made pancakes in interesting shapes for...
Purple Flashback
(February 24, 2004 at 5:01 PM )
There I was, minding my own business (almost) at DishpanDribble. Suddenly, in the middle of a post about counting your blessing in which AnnaLise wears the rust-colored sweater which she hates, I am thrown full force back into the seventies....
Not THAT Kind of Movie!
(February 15, 2004 at 5:39 PM )
Once upon a time I lived next door to a very pleasant couple name Henry and Erica. Henry was a policeman, generally an all –around nice fellow. For example, when I was pregnant I neglected my flowerbeds outrageously. I thought...
Best Worst Valentines Day Ever
(February 13, 2004 at 4:06 PM )
In college, my best friend (who was also my room-mate) and I happened to be single and not even remotely attached on Valentines Day. Things in the dorm were ramping up to near hysteria with arrivals of flowers and packages...
