Power nap…

January 11, 2008

My blue power ranger has been asking all sorts of questions about his kind. “Do power rangers sleep?”, “how long is a power ranger’s bed?”, “are power rangers faster then a jet?”, “do power rangers eat really fast?”, “are power rangers afraid of the dark?”, “are power rangers bigger then adults?”. They have been a [...]

A day of potentially disfiguring events…

January 11, 2008

Two monumental things happened today. My steri-strips fell off and revealed that I am not horribly disfigured (listen people, you asked for this picture…). I also got my hair colored (which is why pulling back my hair is not revealing the dreaded…GRAY). I have been a blonde all my life, but recently it has become [...]

Alter-ego to the rescue…

January 10, 2008

I am here to report on a rumored sighting of Power Mom: defender of a quiet moment and fighter of suburban rage. She wears the glasses and nose to appear friendly to children and small animals. She has been sighted leaping silver minivans with a single bound. Her superhero attire was designed by Mossimo for [...]

Smile: New and improved photo edition…

January 9, 2008

Post note: I just figured out that I could get the pictures…so this post has been revised for your viewing pleasure: Getting what you pay for is a funny thing. When you get a bargain and beat the system you are sitting in butter (obscure Wings reference), most of the time it equalizes and then [...]

Dry cleaning and wet cats…

January 8, 2008

Here is a random picture from the fishing expedition…I don’t think I “caught” any of the jumping fish on film… Blog-Stedman and I were laying in bed yesterday morning…very early…before yoga and heard on the radio that a dry cleaners had burned down. Blog-Stedman said, “that is our dry cleaners” and being the eternal, yet [...]

Monday morning potluck, evening edition…

January 7, 2008

I am contributing the food to the potluck that I wish I had made for dinner–chicken quesadillas with homemade salsa, a light salad and that chocolate cake that is still liquidy in the middle and served warm. The above picture is what I saw in my rear view mirror today while driving around town. Have [...]

It didn’t get any cuter than this…

January 6, 2008

Of the 200+ pictures I took this week, this was the best. I love it when a picture really does capture the moment.

Shiny sinks, Britney & a trampoline quote…

January 6, 2008

First, in the ‘Felix Qui Potuit Rerum Cognoscere Causas (Happy is she who is able to know the cause of things)’ department, I am happy to report that the mystery behind the Britney breakdown has been solved. Rachel has traced it back to the obscene amount of emails sent out by FlyLady. Second, on the [...]

Maybe a birds and bees brush-up is needed…

January 5, 2008

Reid was explaining to Rhett that they were both born at the hospital where daddy works. He then went on to say that Ryan wasn’t born there, he was born in Abilene’s belly (our dog is Abilene). Ryan was born in Abilene, TX, but the dog really didn’t make any major contributions.

Friday morning potluck…

January 4, 2008

Hey, I know potlucks are usually on Monday, but I am in a potluck mood and I am throwing a potluck because I can. I am just that powerful. I am just that in control. I am a woman on a mission. And I want a potluck. I am going to contribute coke and peanuts [...]

I need your help ASAP…

January 3, 2008

I know this is my third post today (and that is NOT why I need your help). I have a babysitter all day and am frittering it away…but you remember what happened last time I ventured out in the minivan alone. I am one of the caption-writing finalists in Mrs. Fussypant’s contest this week. There [...]
