We went roller skating tonight for the first time in… well, ever, for most of us. My husband and I have never been roller skating together, and we go back 11 years, so needless to say, none of the kids have tried it before tonight. The kids had a great time, and I was surprised […]

Today when I was putting away laundry, it occurred to me that it’s almost that time of year when I need to pack away winter clothes and see if I have enough spring / summer clothes for the kids in the right sizes. And, since I’m going to have another little bundle of joy, I

If you haven’t been to the site imdb.com and you like and/or watch movies, I give you permission to take a break from my blog and visit it now: imdb.com This site has everything about pretty much every movie: a list of the actors and crew involved with clickable links so you can see where else
I hope you’re not getting the wrong opinion of me – I’m really not a big fan of email forwards… it’s just that I get so many. I don’t religiously forward every one to everybody I know. And I am certainly not superstitious and don’t believe that I will get bad luck for not forwarding
Here is my own review of the Thursday, February 29 episode of Lost: To sum it up quickly, see title of post. This show is intriguing, yet if they don’t start answering questions soon… I don’t know what I’ll do. I’d still watch it, but only to get answers to the thousands of questions the writers

The subject of this post, my friends, is the result of an email forward I got today. It’s one of the stupidest forwards, yet somehow irresistable at the same time. I posted it below if you want to try it. I didn’t have the nerve to bother my friends with this at work, so I decided
I did the Macarena with a phone because Big Bird said to and he’s my leader. Read More »
How ’bout them Cubs? Ok, it’s only been one game of spring training, but they are undefeated! Whoo-hoo! I am so ready for baseball season; especially with all this snow – had ANOTHER snow day today, by the way. Which means we have 2 make-up days now in the summer, and counting, probably since I’m

Hubby and I watched this movie last night. Plot inconsistencies aside – it is a horror movie after all, so we weren’t expecting much – it was actually better than I thought. I really enjoyed how they let the main characters keep slipping away from the Hitcher, the bad guy, only to be back in danger… but
You think you know where I’m going with this, but it’s actually not a complaint. A lot of places have their own smell. I’ve driven through towns in Georgia that smell like peaches. Gary, Indiana smells like what I can only descibe as “burning rubber french fries” – a term I invented as a kid, and I haven’t
From time to time, I will be talking about what it’s like to live in various places throughout the midwest because I have a lot of experience in that area. We’ve lived in central Illinois, northern Illinois, and various suburbs of Chicago. We also lived in Lincoln, Nebraska and rural Ohio. Of all these, I love
