Dear Fellow Tucsonans,

While visiting your fine city yesterday after having my tooth pulled (I would like personally thank Percocet and Advil for giving me the ability to sit up and blog at this time) I noticed something.
Though the fashionable Ugg boots are super-cute and are totally the hip thing right now, I think that the sheen of [...]

At 2:48 a.m.

I am sitting on my sofa in the quiet of the night, typing away on my Mac. The only illumination in the room aside from the computer screen are dozens of multi-colored twinkly lights, occasionally disrupted by the colorful blinking star perched precariously at the top of the Christmas tree. I cannot sleep. There is [...]

More Christmas Kindness

I promise I’m not a scrooge, but I have a hard time with the holidays (Christmas especially) and I have a VERY hard time understanding how people get into the “gifty” part of the season and not the “lovey-sharing-singing-helping-remembering-GIVING” part.  It honestly stresses me out, and crappy attitudes? They make me sad. I seem to [...]

‘Tis The Season

I would like to think that I would feel the overwhelming urge to help even if Christmas wasn’t right down the street, but I cannot NOT do something in this case. You can read about it here or the complete story here. There are sooo many cute things, I know that I can find something [...]

Rebound Chick

Nothing soothes a broken heart like a new love…
Thanks to Callie, we were able to add a few new beaks to our brood. Which is great because our two grown hens seem to be suffering post tramatic stress disorder and quit laying eggs!! We’ve got two of each;
We’ll let you know if the little guys [...]

Good News

You know, sometimes I’m just thankful for good news.
Like this article.
It made me smile, and it’s nice of the news to do that for me….
Check out what a MUCH more honest person than I am did…

When I Make Mistakes….

When I make mistakes,
I use a lot of salt
‘Cuz salt makes mistakes tastes great.
That’s a line from this song. It’s funny little number that keeps a smile on my face as I drive Mr. B to school in the morning (this is another favorite). Speaking of mornings…
When Mr. B and I went with my parents [...]

Good Food and Family Fun

As I mentioned before, I LOVE going out and having fun with my family. And I can’t think of a better combination than family and RED LOBSTER. Generic as it is, this is my very FAVORITE place to eat and coincidently, it’s my Dad’s favorite place to eat also. So where did I take my [...]

Oh, The Newfangled Conveniences of Our Times

Today (and this WHOLE ) past week, I am thankful for the internet. When we first moved here, we had to make a choice – either have internet or satellite tv. We couldn’t afford both, so the choice was easy for me; I have to be connected to the web. I need to keep in [...]

Halloween Fun (and an explaination)

Ah, November. The month of my FAVORITE holiday. Thanksgiving is all about being kind, thankful, seeing family and eating good food, and remembering those we love. Now, I love me some Christmas time spirit, don’t get me wrong. Christmas and Thanksgiving are very nearly tied, but it’s Thanksgiving that continues to hold the number one [...]
