So, I turned 39 today. I'm trying to feel positive about this and embrace the moment and all that jazz, but Ima keep it real and just say that it kind of sucks. I have a case of the birthday blues and feel pretty stupid and petty about it. And if anyone says "its better... Continue Reading →
So we made a fall wreath…
...and it's kind of gaudy, but looks ok from the road. I don't know what possessed me but a couple of weekends ago I got the urge to make something fall-ish for the front door, probably still riding momentum from our stellar Halloween decorations, and so I took to the internet for inspiration. I found... Continue Reading →
Halloween report
We had an epic Halloween this year. This is becoming my very favorite holiday. We had some family come over to see kiddo in her costume and partake of chips and dips of all sorts. Alas, this was not to be another year of cutsie princess or candy corn witch costumes for kiddo. She decided... Continue Reading →

I was looking at vintage Valentines this morning because free time, and this one cracked me up. So I'm sharing it with you. I have chocolates and cards waiting for kiddo and hubs. Plus, the little one is getting a teddy bear and a new battery powered toothbrush and bubblegum toothpaste. Little Mermaid style, thank... Continue Reading →
stuff ‘n thangs

Its been awesome to... Continue Reading →
my annual anti-new year’s resolutions post

so it goes on the 4th of July
It rained today. I don't mean it rained for an hour or two, it rained ALL dang day. We didn't really have solid plans for the 4th anyway but if we had planned on outdoor activities, they weren't happening. So we ventured to a lazy late breakfast at one of my favorite places that tries... Continue Reading →

I'm more like Melancholy Melanie today rather than Crankypants McGhee. Progress people, it's a slow thing sometimes. Memorial Day weekend turned out nice. I won't recap the details but here's a list of sorts...family walk on greenway, family cookout and subsequent soccer playing, trip to the zoo, puppet making and puppet show, gym, toy mini...

So, today....the first day of 2013. Quiet day with kiddo and The Accountant, for the most part. I got a nice run/walk in this morning before the rain, kiddo and I went to Target for miscellany and then to Jersey Mike's for sandwiches. I went to a movie by myself. The movie was pretty bad...
