We we we all the way home

Spent last night de-Christmasing my basement, so as to get ready for Beano’s Bridal Shower in a little over a week. It’s lookin’ darn good, if I do say so myself. Tonight I’m tackling the upstairs.

Drama Queen

Dinner, just in case you ever wondered, is more enjoyable when you aren’t seated next to a screaming child. Just slightly better than that is when the screaming child is not your own.

Fresh Start, First Steps, and New Bras

Well, it’s the new year, and I for one am glad. I like the fresh start. There’s just something good about a fresh start. I’m freaky like that, though. I like finishing up a tube of toothpaste and starting the fresh, new one. Same with deodorant. I like Sunday nights and Monday mornings simply because trash and recycling pick-up is Monday morning, and it’s a fresh start with our trash/recycling cans. I like receiving new slippers for Christmas (thanks Mom and Dad Z!) and finally throwing out my 13-year-old cruddy slippers with the holes in the soles.

Is it it’s or its?

You know what’s really funny? Being totally drunk and going back and re-reading what you’ve just posted and finding that you’ve screwed up “it’s” versus “its” and being completely hacked at yourself because that’s totally a rookie mistake and one of your worst pet peeves.

Happy 2007~

Good morning! I write to you from the wee (drunken) hours of 2007. Many apologies in advance for any misspelling and grammatical errors, but I fully and completely blame Messiers Anheuser and Busch for inadequacies in this morning’s post.

Happy Birthday Granny!

When I was a little girl, I would sometimes go and spend time with my Granny and Gramps who lived “in the country.” “In the country” is Rosebud, Missouri, an idyllic little town where everyone knows everyone (and their business, good and bad), and most folks live on gravel roads and drive pick-up trucks. Gramps was a pretty typical gramps, and we kids loved him and I’m sure aggravated him while he puttered around in his workshop and fed the catfish in his two lakes.
