Who Knew about Hulu?

As many of you know, I do not have cable.  It is probably a good thing because I would watch Law & Order all day.  I’m sure I could find it on some channel at any time of day.  I don’t watch much TV.  I watch The Bold and the Beautiful when I’m home at [...]

Idol Worship

I know it is breaking the 2nd commandment, but I have a few people that I hold in very high regard.  Jimmy Stewart is one.  I absolutely loved that guy!  I thought he was a wonderful actor, and by all accounts, a wonderful man as well.  My boyfriend (soon to be my husband) bought me [...]

I Have Issues with Gas

Wow.  That could go different ways, couldn’t it? Well, I’m talking about gasoline, so those of you who were expecting potty humor, sorry to disappoint you. When I go get gas, I usually do not fill up the minivan.  Too depressing.  Today I filled up to around $40, and it was only half a tank.  [...]

Trading Spaces

I used to love to watch Trading Spaces.  That was when we used to have cable.  I don’t even know if it is on any more.  It always inspired me to try to keep what I had and just change it a little with a coat of paint or some design.  I painted my kitchen [...]

I Won!!!

Did I get your attention?  Well, no need to suck up to me, I didn’t win the lottery.  Nor did I win a fabulous trip to Jamaica.  I won an item on eBay.  I know.  Unless you enjoy shopping online, you probably don’t understand the thrill it is to win on eBay.  I have a [...]

Updates

Thank you all for your prayers for our friend Lee.  He passed away this morning.  His heart and lungs just could not take it any longer.  While I know he is in heaven and enjoying himself, I ask for your prayers for his wife Kathy and their son Luke as they now try to continue [...]

Worst Mom or Stage Mom?

Last night was my daughter’s 10th birthday party.  We did it at the bowling alley and she had a fantastic time!  It really was fun to watch her interact with her friends.  She has chosen some wonderful friends and they all got along well, even though they didn’t all know each other. After we got [...]

Prayers, Please

This post will be short because things have been turned upside down here a home. A friend of the family, Lee Jeter, has pulmonary fibrosis and is in desperate need of a lung transplant.  He’s at the top of the list for one, but must be stabilized before he is able to withstand the surgery.  [...]

From 42 to 80 in 10 seconds!!!!

No, not my car.  My face.  I went to get some new makeup for my face. Now that I am no longer wearing glasses, the dark circles under my eyes are a little more noticeable.  Okay, really a LOT more noticeable.  So, I head out for Walgreen’s and attempt to choose something from the LARGE [...]

A Day of Repair

I just realized that today is a Day of Repair. First of all, we are getting new garage doors.  FINALLY!  We have double doors, and I have backed into my side twice.  Once was truly all my fault.  Tom’s door was open and I mistook the ample amount of light in the garage to be [...]
