Things That Get On My Nerves Day 1

I have decided that everyday this week I will post 2 or 3 things that really get on my nerves. I suspect, that this being the end of summer,has played a part in my decision to do so. If I hear one more time from Kyle that he is bored, I am going to stick [...]

A blog of John’s from February 2006

Somethings are worth repeating. When I have a not so great day, I will read John’s old blogs, they make me smile. Here is one from February 2006. Enjoy!
I Don’t Sleep, I Dream
You know, with love comes strange currencies.
Wait. That’s a different R.E.M. song. Allow me to start over.
I’m looking for an interruption,
Do you believe?
You [...]

Canton with Lois

It has been 18 years since I have been to Canton so when Lois (John’s sister) called and asked me if I wanted to go Friday I jumped on the bandwagon. Canton for those who do not know is a town 45 minutes east of Dallas and is for all practical purposes is one big [...]

My jokes are "tragic"

“Enough of your tragic jokes.”
This from the mouth of my 3 year old cousin who is absolutely amazing. My little Mensa. I could write an entire page on the one liners that she spattered out over the weekend. Instead I want to say how much I love these children, Christian and Grant. It is a [...]

Leemer and the Starbucks drive-through.

I will blog about our experience babysitting Christian and Grant soon. For now, I had to share this chunk of Leemer gold. As a thank you for babysitting, my cousin Hollie gave John and I a gift certificate to Starbucks. We decided to put it to use tonight. It is never a dull moment [...]

Leaving Las Houston

John and I are staying with my brother this week in Houston. For 15 years now I have watched the vicious cycle of alcoholism control his life. This is the first time however that I no longer see any glimpse of who he once was. He is gone now, completely.
Being here with him is like [...]

"Bite The Wax Tadpole"

On Sunday John and I went to eat lunch at The Super Chinese Happy Buffet…not to be confused with the Super Terrific Happy Hour. We have eaten there a few times but never while there was a crowd.
I swear it was like herding cattle into the sale barn. I was shocked at the behavior witnessed [...]

Just one of the boys..but I can make a great pie!

I was born in the wrong era. If my calculations are correct, I should have been born in 1925. One of my most favorite movies of all time, Fried Green Tomatoes, came on Encore this morning. I have seen it no less than 100 times and it never gets old. I can identify more with [...]

Belle Star is my hero.

I was told yesterday that I should not cuss in my blog…that it was not lady like.
This blog is my safe place, my zone if you will. I do not hold back from what I think or feel in order to maintain appearances. Cussing is not something I do on a regular basis in person. [...]
