I watched Juno recently.  Because I was curious as to what all the talk was about.  And I love Jennifer Garner.  We are practically BFF’s, because I was once a double agent for the CIA too.
Not really.
I just played one on TV.
And my wig was blue, not pink. 
I liked Juno.  K did not.  Big surprise.  He […]

The weather is getting nicer outside every day.  So I have lost my excuse that it is too cold to get out there and exercise.  It is no longer freezing or icy which means I have nothing stopping me from getting out for a walk every day.
Except for one thing.
I’m a little bit out of shape.  […]

When I was growing up, my grandma always told me I could be anything I wanted to be.  And I believed her.
As a young kid, I was going to follow any number of different career paths. 
There was the typical I want to be a teacher phase.  And then I was going to be a nurse; […]

Spring sports season is in full swing around here.  I am wore out.  And the seasons are only half over.
Since the end of March, I have been rained on, hailed on, frozen, windburned, sunburned, sweaty, and snowed upon.  I have faced the elements out here on the prairie, interpeeps. 
And still, week after week, I go.  Out to […]

 Actually, I haven’t been. 
I just have had that title in my head forever, and I wanted to use it.  So now seemed like as good of time as any.  Because I’m always doing a lot of thinking, just not really about anything important.
So, all the giving away of the giveaways is almost over.  And I […]

Where is your cell phone?  I don’t know.  I’m always forgetting where I set it down.  I think it’s out in my car right now.
Your significant other?  Watching the Cubs.
Your hair?  Looks good, even though it is the end of the day.  I worked a little blow dryer magic this morning and it has been […]

It was in the fifties here yesterday.  The sun was shining brightly and the sky was blue.  The kids played outside after school, I played outside after school.
And I am so good at four square it is not even funny.
I play to win. 
And my kids hate it.
Anyway.
All the Spring in the air had a smile on […]

I know that most of the mom blog world is probably partaking in Big Mama’s Fashion Fiesta today.  Obviously, I am not.  Because my closet is a mess.  And also, if you’ve seen one workout outfit with pants and a jacket and a little tee that matches the stripe on the pants, well then I […]

Come and check out the orange hair, interpeeps.
Look! You are in my bathroom!

I know. It doesn’t look orange.
From far away.
But come a little closer.

Oh, excuse me for not smiling. Here I am hosting the whole world wide interweb in my bathroom mirror and I didn’t even smile. I am usually smiling all the time.
Every minute […]

Lessons learned from my sickbed:
The weather will be nice and warm when I am too sick to enjoy it.
Laundry does not do itself.
My son will wear the same socks four days in a row if I do not tell him to change them.
So will my husband.
Doctors make me nuts. 
Hydrocodone makes me a little nuts.  In […]
