Don’t You Hate it When…
…You have a good-sized length of wrapping paper left and it’s NOT QUITE enough to cover the gift??? PS: Can you see what I’m wrapping??? Good, then Dave won’t know either 🙂
My Messy Marvins
I just have to refer you here — Maryann captured some million-dollar smiles of my boys on Sunday. It was horribly hot all weekend, so she and I were looking for indoor activities for our boys. We turned them loose with some crafts, and the painting went from “let’s paint with sponges” to “let’s paint … Read more
About to Explode
No…not me. My poor husband. He’s at T-6 days and counting till his PhD dissertation defense. I won’t even TRY to explain what he’s up to, but let me just refer you here if you also have a 100lb. brain and would like to learn more. He last updated the homepage on 18 Oct 07, … Read more
Stunned!
I am stunned! For the uninitiated in the Air Force/military lifestyle, Dave and I are what you might consider “middle management”. The tasks we do often involve having to tie Airman issues with “the bigger picture”. Example: “Ma’am, I’d like to deploy to Iraq and work with the Army.” In this case, the Airman might … Read more
You Pay HOW MUCH for Your Habit?

New York City added an additional tax as well, so cigarettes in NYC will cost an extra $1.50 compared to yesterday. I’m speechless. Some New Yorkers will be paying … Read more
The BEST Banana Nut Bread!
This isn’t the best picture of my latest baking creation, but hopefully it captures the quality of this recipe! Today I made my favorite banana bread recipe. In this case, it ISN’T a Pioneer Woman recipe. It’s from my handy-dandy Betty Crocker cookbook…one of my wedding gifts from a billion* years ago. *Billion = 12 … Read more
Slip n slide
We’re back at it again…it’s been a personal mission for me to get the water flowing at a bare minimum while still giving the kids the slippery surface. I think a lightly misting sprayer hose at the top at a bare minimum with misting sprinkler in the middle is our winner.
Marbles Children’s Museum in Raleigh
Maryann did it again , she beat me to the blog, so we’ll start with her post. Update: Here are my pictures! These are a combination of pics from my Canon Digital Elph and my iPhone camera. Can YOU tell which is which???
Our Last Trip to the NC Zoo
I couldn’t have said it any better myself! UPDATE: I’ve added my own pictures:
A New Blogosphere Friend
Hi again! Eventually I’ll get around to writing about what’s REALLY going on in my life: keeping the boys happy, planning our trip to Nebraska, and keeping all of the contractors working on our house straight. Today should be a relatively relaxing day — the termite treatment is done, the remnants of our home inspection … Read more
