Betty Crocker, I am not. But modern technology helps me fake it.
03/30/2010 • We recently got a bread maker. We had one way back 15 years ago when we were first married. But I admit, it didn't see much action. Then when we moved the first time, it didn't make the cut and ... read more
Bigger.
03/27/2010 • Hi guys! I want to thank everyone for their messages. I get lots of requests for updated Big photos. It seems he's become quite the celebrity since I first posted his puppy pictures about 3 months ago. Well, much has ... read more
Migraine: The Musical
03/16/2010 • I do joke about this a lot... Migraine: The Musical... Vicodin: The Musical, etc. But if you really tried to envision a migraine musical, it would likely be completely silent and dark with all the actors ambling about moaning and ... read more
A flower is only as good as its petals. Don’t you agree?
03/15/2010 • If so, then you won't be disappointed in these flowers. (By the way, that title is a quote from one of my all time favorite movies, A Knight's Tale.) My pal Pam and I went to the orchid show at the ... read more
Spring forward… set your clocks tonight!
03/13/2010 • I hate daylight savings time. There, I said it. I don't like the shorter days in the fall nor the dark mornings in the spring. It takes my body days to adjust and I grumble to myself the entire time ... read more
Started reading OUTLANDER by Diana Gabaldon
03/04/2010 • I just started reading this after coming off of the Sookie Stackhouse novels (a.k.a. True Blood on HBO) by Charlaine Harris. It's always a good sign when you smile and even laugh on page 4 of a book. Diana ... read more
Mashed Potatoes, Migraines, & Me.
03/01/2010 • Most everyone that knows me knows that I get a lot of migraines. I don't say it to garner pity from anyone. Just stating facts. And the facts are that since about 1992, the year I graduated college, I've been ... read more
[M]otoring.
02/28/2010 • [M] spends the better part of his days down on the farm riding his quad. Luckily there are many trails cut out near the house that all lead back to the yard. So he's able to go out on them ... read more
Watch out for that tree!
02/27/2010 • Ok, so we have this book that is sort of a field guide to being a "free-range" child. It's called 50 Dangerous Things (You Should Let Your Children Do). It's not teaching them to build a nuclear device or plan ... read more
Vampires, werewolves, & shapeshifters. Oh my.
02/26/2010 • I know I said I'd try to update the blog chronologically from where I left off at the beginning of winter, but this is fresh in my head so I wanted to blog about it before I lost it for ... read more
Big.
02/11/2010 • Ok, so I got a puppy for Christmas. I wasn't drugged, as far as I know. There's even a vague recollection of me actually asking for one. It's fuzzy (my memory). It gets all jumbled up in my mind... I ... read more
Jumping back in.
02/09/2010 • I've been an absentee blogger. Not that I have a huge following (mostly me and a few friends I bribe to read and comment) but I do enjoy it. I miss being here. The winter really got to me this ... read more
Pinky on the prowl.
11/02/2009 • So. Roger got me a rifle. He asked me what would it take to get me out hunting, and in my best effort to make his job harder, I told him he had to find me a pink rifle. Well, ... read more



Well, just like a prayer… answered… here’s the grand finale, Madonna’s Like a Prayer, in full, for your viewing pleasure.
First of all, I’m testing a bit to see if this new microblog widget really works and if I like it. And second,
