Highs and lows

Target makes me crazy. I go in for a few things and I always come out with way more. That place sucks the money right out of my wallet, sock monkey slipper by sock monkey slipper. Although my new purchase cheers me on many levels, I’m not feeling very sunshiney […]

“M” is for Mocha

We visited my mom in Kalamazoo on Friday. Devin had the brilliant idea that we “Go see Gramma when I wake up in the morning.” So, yeah. We did. I miss K-zoo. I wanted out so badly when I was younger. All I could think about was Chicago, Chicago, Chicago. […]

He & Me

I joined a Flickr group dedicated to parents taking photos of themselves with their kids. Weekly. Ay-yi-yi! Me and my projects. We’ll see how cooperative the Devster is for this one. The last one didn’t involve a particular subject. I think this will be fun and also grace us with […]

A weekend full of culture

Whirlwind. I did SO much this weekend. Kind of a refreshing change from three weekends suffering through chest colds, sinus infections and kiddie pneumonia. My recreational pursuits, though, make me chuckle a bit upon reflection. Friday. Shared tubs of popcorn and cups of fruit punch with Devin while viewing “Veggie […]

This dog is dogging me

See this adorable dog? I love her. Yes, I do. I gave up an entire summer for her. Agonizing time, that. She ended up on doggie prozac, and almost put me in the human version. (Probably should have gone ahead with it then since I ended up on it anyway!) […]

I can not resist the belly button

It makes me smile, which balances out my day a bit. My friend returned from Kenya this weekend. I’d been worried when I heard the news reports. Still, I thought, what’s the likelihood he’s in the thick of it all? Never challenge the odds. Kip is back and safe. But […]

The germs prevail

We have chest-cold germs. We have sinus infection germs. (Those are both mine.) And now we have 24-hour flu germs. (Devin’s.) I’m just hoping Scott was able to ward them off. Now that I’m antibiotics, I feel tons better. But the kiddo has such a cough and he’s not quite […]

Jammy goodness

These? They are good. Very good. And simple. Very simple. I ran to Grand River Grocery during my lunch hour on Thursday to grab a Michigan Turkey Sandwich (my favorite sandwich!) and they had these sitting on the counter for sampling. As a big fan of sampling, I took the […]

My head is going to explode!

Not from the cold, although I thought it might be a side effect for a while there. Today is my first day feeling normal. A week of ick. No, my head may just explode from trying to keep up with all things internet. Although I love, love, love that answers […]
