Ever wonder what it’s actually like here? If you’ve never really been to Texas and imagine it’s really like the movies claim, you may wonder. It’s really a hot arid desert with plateaus and lots of rattlesnakes, right? Nothing but trailer parks with men in wife beater shirts, women in frosted pink lipstick who work [...]
Ohh! I’m super excited. Apparently the person who won the crown in Emma’s pay it forward post had already been a Miss Canada, so I’ve gone from 3rd runner up to 2nd runner up, this despite not actually being even a smidge Canadian. And, now I get to particpate & win scholarships, and fake [...]
Don’t you love the new layout?!! Cause I sure do. Thanks a gazillion to my friend from StrollerFit, Lindsay of Splat Designs for doing what I never ever coulda! And, if you look closely she even put the MacLeod (our clan) tartans on the sides and on the dog. She’s brilliant! Thanks Lindsay. If you [...]
There are days when I feel young (ish), carefree, skinny (when I don’t look down or see stretchmarks), even sometimes single (Meaning without kids, of course. I haven’t been “single” since before I was 17), and once in a while, it just hits you that you are A MOM. Here is my random list of [...]
The boys are at it again. Damn boys. They think because I am the only broad among the twelve of us, I must be football deficient at worst or totally ignorant at best (for them, of course). They keep proposing insane trades with me like Mr. Nobody from the Worst Team in [...]
Apparently, the South has become a place with increasing adult obesity. And, this is somehow a surprise? Hmmm…well, let me check. Things we like to eat include: fried chicken, chicken fried steak, fried mushrooms, fried turkey at Thanksgiving (which occurs in Nov here, you silly Canadians who celebrate it on Columbus Day), fried green tomatoes, [...]
I am really loving this time spent at Nana & Pop’s house. In one week I have 1. been able to get the six odd inches of brown roots that was my hair covered 2. gotten my first new bathing suit since the baby came 2+ years ago 3. went out to dinner with [...]
So, being the nice mommy to my dog, Lanna (the world’s biggest bitch of a Cairn Terrier), I generally feed her just about everything under the sun. She, was, after all, my first child. And, she’s never recovered from the shock, disappointment, and utter dismay of being replaced by the boy wonder. Seriously, here, pet [...]
Okay, Emma. Yes. I know Russ has that anger issue, but have you seen the man with his kids? SO sweet. Most of my five involve men who are great dads, because post-baby, that’s just a huge turn on. A couple are notorious rogues, and that’s okay if this were a one-time thing. Catwoman, did [...]
Thank you to Ohio Blue Eyes for posting about her Myers Briggs personality. I told her what I was, only to question whether a gap of 13 years could be significant enough for a personality shift…tah dah! It was!
So, in 1992, as a lowly freshman in high school, I was your everyday, ordinary, brown [...]
