If you could be an invisible observer in our home, you would want to check in at about 6:00.  Anything before that would be too early, since from 5 – 6, I’m a stressed out, frazzled nutso.  That’s when I realize that the house that was clean in the morning now looks like Toys R [...]

Almost every night, we have a little game of horsey.  It’s becoming a bedtime routine.  The girls ride on Ping’s back and yell, “giyup”.  Then they get on the floor and pretend they’re horses right along with him.  And yes, we’re nuts for getting them all worked up before bed, but fun trumps everything else [...]

Not an alternative curse word, just the state of my mind today.  Sometimes the only thoughts that go through my head are so random and silly that I couldn’t PAY people to listen, much less to read them on here of their own free will.  So I’m not going to tell you that today I’ve [...]

Today, I had exactly 5 minutes and 37 seconds that weren’t occupied with toddler mayhem.  I used them to practice focusing with my camera.  It was pretty fun!

I was just trying to focus on individual blocks, which is pretty easy, so the 5 minutes was plenty.

I like this one the best because it has my [...]

Valentine’s Day, traditionally, has not been observed in our home.  Not my choice, I can assure you.  I would love to get flowers, gifts, and attention, but Ping conveniently chalked Valentine’s Day up to being a crock from the very first.  He also conveniently didn’t tell me he didn’t plan on observing Valentine’s Day, so [...]

I’m probably the last person who needs to blog about my attempts to grow a vegetable garden, since last year I invested in all the necessary supplies and then got too busy to mess with it.  I’m going to do it anyway, though.  I did sprout some seeds in an egg crate, but I killed [...]

At least somebody likes it:

This weekend I’ll be attending a wedding, and it has me reminiscing about weddings I’ve been to in the past.  Perfect for Valentine’s month; The month of love!  Why do they make the month of love the shortest month?

The first wedding I attended as an adult was a good friend’s from high school.  He got [...]

Today I’m linking up to Jen and Juice’s “Heart of the Matter” Linky Party!  Fun for me, plus she has a super-cute blog, so anybody with some minutes to spare, check it out!

Her assignment:

I want to see the craziest, sweetest, most amazing hearts you can photograph. It can be something you made and posted on [...]

I have an excellent internal compass.  Meaning, you could put me in an unfamiliar place, and I can tell you the directions to the quarter turn.  If you ever need to know if you’re going NNW, I can help you.  I also have all the knowledge of US geography that most people do.  As much [...]
