As a kid, I was a very avid reader – I would always read myself to sleep. Somewhere in my 20’s though, I lost sight of my reading hobby; I guess that’s when I got too busy and too tired to lie in bed awake at night and read. During my last pregnancy, however, I […]

It’s that time of year again – back to school already! For the most part, this means good news for me as it clears out half of the foot traffic around here during the day. And since my oldest 2 are school-age and also the ones who are constantly misbehaving lately – Whoo Hoo for

Got another ‘getting to know you’ quiz via email the other day. Since I still fill these out for some reason (don’t really know why I do this – haven’t my friends already learned all these things about me?), I figured I might as well post it on the blog. And this one prompted me

I’ll admit I got these super-cute animal pictures from an email foward… they are just too cute… The skeptic in me says, are they real? I looked on snopes.com and didn’t see anything, but in this age of photoshop, you never know. If they are photoshopped, the creator did an excellent job… Let’s pretend they’re

With Alaskan Sarah Palin’s eye on the White House and all the northern exposure in the media lately, we decided to pull out one of our old favorites the other night and watched the 1999 movie Mystery Alaska. It’s a pretty good movie and obviously has lots of replay value, at least for us, because
I’m a sucker for interesting news stories, and the following caught my eye. An armed robber attempted to knock off a store but was chased down the street by some flying bullets and the gun-toting store owner. The owner of the store ended up facing more serious charges than the robber for shooting a gun

My friend Shirley is compiling a recipe book for our community theater group and says she’s short on salads. Since I have to type this recipe into my computer to email it to her, thought I’d share it with you on my blog… just in time for strawberries to go out of season. Oh well,

Yet another email forward struck my fancy… this one’s a personality test to determine which cartoon character you’re most like. With 29 points, I am SpongeBob SquarePants, and my husband got 31 points, so he is also SpongeBob. Not sure how truthful this is, but fun to take the little quiz. I know, I should

With all the storm activity in the Atlantic Ocean lately, I’ve been especially interested in hurricanes. I’ve lived a lot of places, but since I’ve only resided in the midwest, I’ve never witnessed a hurricane firsthand. Well, that’s not entirely true. There was a hurricane a couple of years ago (I forgot its name unfortunately) that
