What Do You Call Them?

I saw this over at Shanny’s and figured why not be cool like her.
Where did you grow up:  I was born in a wee bitty little Podunk town in Iowa, moved to Germany, and finally AZ. Most of my summers were spent in Podunk.

Yesterday we were on our way home and we had the following conversation:
Noodle: I sent M [...]

My 2 Favorite People

 
Its your birthday Mookie.
 
You have made me cry until I had no more tears, you have made me laugh until I can’t stop crying.
 
You were my first love. The first person I would have given my life for.
 
You are the reason I am who I am.
 
I love you.

Backtracking [...]

Saturday night we had some of our peeps over to drink beer  play Wii. (Pictures forthcoming).  Mrs. Peeps asked me for a toothpick while she was there. I took the box out of the pantry and handed it to her as she burst out laughing.
Mrs. Peeps : You won’t reach into the box to get [...]
