Life in the Real World

August 16, 2012

My dad forwarded me an email the other day and I loved it.  SO SO TRUE!  I figured it was good enough to share here. Bill Gates gave a speech at a high school about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school.  He addresses how feel-good, politically correct teachings have created [...]

If I Lived In Boston…A Ridiculous Impersonation

July 25, 2012

Some people have suggested along the way that I should do a vlog.  For those of you who, like me until recently, didn’t known what a vlog is…it’s a video blog. I feel like an idiot on camera, and I think my voice sounds weird.  Apparently though, my voice typically sounds like my actual voice [...]

Top 100 Road Trip Songs

July 10, 2012

So, I just made a big ol’ road trip with my kids…and without my husband.  It was about an 11 hour drive, and that’s not including stops for a 2-weeks-potty-trained two-year-old, an overnight stay along the way, or the additional delay for the traffic ticket I got for “failure to switch lanes near an emergency [...]

Spill It…{The Ridiculous Contents of 1 Woman’s Purse}

June 28, 2012

I bought a new purse last week before I went to Haven.  My old one was getting sort of raggedy looking, and when I found the perfect platinum colored new purse for just $20, it was a no-brainer. I don’t know if you’re one of those people who switch purses to go with your outfit [...]

Just for Laughs…from the farm

June 7, 2012

I went to a goat farm with a friend yesterday.  She was on milking duty (the goats are shared between a few families) and we’d been wanting to hang out, so she invited us to join her and her kids. My boys LOVED it.  Made me want to have lots of land and maybe even [...]

Los Luchadores…The Fighters

June 1, 2012

In Spanish, the word “Luchador” means “fighter.“  Technically it refers to “free fighting” or “free wrestling” and is a pretty big deal in Mexico. I think it’s pretty much the Mexican version of WWF. The Luchadors wear masks to cover their faces.  Apparently, sometimes the loser of a match has to remove his mask…exposing him [...]

Just Stop Screaming!

May 23, 2012

I had a really mature moment yesterday.  So mature in fact, that I thought I’d share with all of you equally mature people out there who also happen to be raising our future generation. Let me set the scene. Birthday party at the Children’s Museum.  We arrived late and thus playtime was cut in half.  [...]

Anesthesia….

April 4, 2012

So, while I wouldn’t in a million years choose to have the procedure I’ve done TWICE in the past week, you have to admit that any time there’s anesthesia or pain medication involved, there is a chance for ridiculousness. Yesterday was no exception. First, Mike and the other nurse anesthetist (whose name I can’t remember,) [...]

When I Grow Up, I Want To Be….

February 13, 2012

The other night I was humming in the shower when I had the thought that I’ve had a gazillion times… I REALLY wish I could sing. Like… for real sing. As it is, I fall in the “make a joyful noise” category of singers, but I sure wish I could belt it.  The kind of [...]
