In the 11 years that we’ve owned this house, it’s always been the kids or Hubby who were first to swim in the pool at the beginning of the season.
This year it was me.
Hat and all, I dove into the pool.
And I LOVED every minute of it while taunting Hubby with chants of “C’mon, you [...]

Just thought I’d relay this freaky experience for those of you who use Facebook.
This morning I was surfing…okay, I was checking out a celebrity gossip site…when a banner ad got my attention. It was an ad for a Facebook application and I was gobsmacked to see Son’s Facebook profile pic.
I was stunned…like being stung by [...]

If Youtube is any indication
There needs no further explanation
No doubt there were diehards
The true to the end who never wavered
But there were so many more
Who profited from, who relished in “Wacko Jacko”
Then abandoned to has been
Left to be used as tabloid fodder
If Youtube is any indication
There needs no further explanation
We are a planet of hypocrites
We [...]

On a whim we took off on Wednesday to go camping. We really had lamented coming home on Sunday and if it weren’t for some previous commitments (Daughter had a class and we were hosting a family BBQ for Father’s Day) we would have stayed a few extra days.
We called it a “mid-weekend” and threw [...]

I know of course that pics would really enhance the following post but “D’oh” I forgot to bring the camera with us. Next time I will though and hopefully get a whole slew of shots.
We went camping again this past weekend, fully taking advantage of Hubby’s recent unemployment status, leaving late Friday morning. We picked [...]

I have to admit I was skeptical.
Yesterday Daughter announced that she was looking for a way to make some extra cash. Before I even got a chance to talk her into cleaning the bathrooms or vaccuming Hubby interjected and said, “How about mowing the lawn?”
Again before I could even utter, “Hon, be serious, she’s only [...]

Hubby, Daughter and I are going back up to the cabin today for the weekend. It was supposed to just be a regular weekend but Hubby surprised us by booking an extra day. I’d be totally ecstatic if it wasn’t for the fact that I had to bail on coffee with an old friend for [...]

No, I didn’t actually say that, but boy did I want to.
This post of MaryP’s came to mind as I dealt with a particularly angering situation with my now “adult” Son. And yes, I put the word adult in quotes because in this situation, I am using the term VERY loosely.
Some of you may remember [...]
