I’m excited that another one of my friends has made the jump to the dark side. Southern Girl is one of the Original Playgroup* Mom friends from when I first moved to North Carolina in July 2005. She’s your classic North Carolina-born-and-bred lady, and her storytelling is all the proof you need that’s she’s a … Read more
This was Jake when I picked him up from school today. He had a great day and is really looking forward to tomorrow. I can’t believe my baby is in school now! Jake gave a nice debriefing about his day, to include even the details of how he gave 50 cents to the lunchlady for … Read more

Several of my kitchen tools have broken, and our scanner has a huge … Read more
It was crated this time around.They arrived at 8am and are just about done unloading at 11am. Will still need several hours for assembly and unpacking. So far all our big stuff made it. Phew!
It’s on it’s way, allegedly.
I’m fine…Dave asked me to run to Lowe’s to pick up one more can of primer for the basement-painting project he’s working on, and I guess my mind was wandering and I missed the already-red light and the car making a left turn in front of me. I’ve never been in an air-bag accident before … Read more
Dave pointed this out tonight. Ugh!
