365 Days.

I can’t believe it. Today it has been a year since we were handed the keys to our house.  I am not sure what we were really feeling that day. We had moved 4 times in less than 6 months, and really had nothing of our own. Everything we owned, other than some clothes and [...]

When Being A Pack Rat Pays Off

Last weekend Hubs started putting up the outside Christmas lights. He called me at work all pissed off because he couldn’t find the big colored lights he wanted to use.  As you may or may not remember, this time last year (the 30th will be a year!) we were moving out of the Fall home [...]

Tis The Season

Has it really been a year already? So sorry to tease you with something you know you want but that you can’t have.

Man: Yes it was
Me: Then why does [...]

Change Is Good!

I am thrilled  with the outcome of the election, really I am. But did you watch John McCain’s speak? I would be a great big fat liar if I said I didn’t get a little bit teary eyed over it. 
I  just can’t but feel for the hometown guy sometimes.

Pumpkin Pictures

We foolishly carved our pumpkins the weekend before Halloween. Because it was 95 freaking degrees here last week the pumpkins meet their demise long before the ghosts and goblins were out tricking and treating. 
 
Noodle was showing her Podunk Pride so pictures are limited to those where you can’t read her shirt. Sorry about that. [...]

Halloween Pictures

Noodle and the neighbor girl who LUVS her.  Poor baby was scared. As you can see she got over it.
