There are plenty of things that I want to write about at this point, but nothing is coming. Lame.I made dinner last night for my family. Apparently it turned out well...I honestly think it's the first real forray into cooking that I've made since I've been married. Todd usually does all the cooking and whatever … Continue reading Pwning the n00bs….(I don’t even know what that means)….

Man, having puppies is HARD! Well okay...taking them to the vet is hard. The rest is juuuuuuuuuust fine!We took Leo and Suki to their new vet for the very first time last night. Aye. Turns out, there was more stuff out-of-date or wrong that I could have possibly anticipated. But the good news is that … Continue reading Mommy & Papa take the pups on the WORST CAR RIDE EVER!

I just read an article that explains the names of Nicole Kidman/Keith Urban's daughter and Matthew McConaughey's son.Remember how we all read that insane story about how Matthew wanted to do what his brother did and name his kid after his favorite beer? Fine, when his bro's favorite beer is Miller Lite (the kid's name … Continue reading There IS a God!

In one of the greatest articles I've read in quite some time, Rolling Stone writer Matt Taibbi sums up pretty succinctly exactly what I think about Joel Osteen, televangelist extraordinaire.

No, they won't be dressed up every day, but this is a fun holiday and it's their first one with us, so I think it'll be fun for them to wear 4th of July t-shirts! I'm going to try to … Continue reading 4th of July is goin’ to the dogs!

Chocolate and I have a bit of a love/hate relationship. It plays out in various forms, but only one thing truly remains constant. I do not like plain chocolate. Not even a little bit.I have a bag of misc. chocolate in my desk that I sometimes put in my candy basket to share with co-workers. … Continue reading How do I love thee? Let me count the (very specific) ways…

It's true, isn't it?!? At least, it should be.June cannot end quickly enough, frankly. This has been the busiest month since...October 2007. At least during October, there was a good reason to be this busy. This month? Not really a good reason. We just are.Definitely looking forward to some down time.Things I'm looking forward to … Continue reading "If the minimum wasn’t acceptable it wouldn’t be called the minimum."

There's a group in South Carolina that's getting all bent out of shape about a specialty license plate there. Before I go too much further, I should note that this is NOT intended to be a blog with religious slants at all. I save that for the blogs when I get to hammer on Focus … Continue reading No one even knows what it means anymore….

Reasons I know I like to travel too much:I'm actually considering taking Todd and me to Cozumel (one of our honeymoon cruise stops) for our one-year anniversary. Trust me. I know this is total madness. Sort of. I mean, it's only about $1500 for the entire thing...hotel, flight, ground trans and the whole thing is … Continue reading Well, I’m a wanderer, yes, a wanderer
