A Standing Date
On the night they met, my Grandmother told my Grandfather that he was crazy. I’m pretty sure she told him that many more times over the course of their life together, but that night was the first – at least that’s how I remember the story. My Grandparents were practically babies when they met – 14…
Focus on What is Enough
Ever have one of those days where all you can think about is how much you aren’t getting done? One of those days where despite all valiant efforts, the pile doesn’t shrink and after a full day of working you somehow have practically nothing to show for it? Yeah, had me one of those today.…
Sunday Dinner
I cried over my dinner tonight. It wasn’t that it was horrible. In fact, it was quite good. Roast beef cooked all day in the slow cooker until it fell apart with just a touch of the fork. Fluffy mashed potatoes with real butter and real milk whipped up just so with the electric mixer.…
Funny Video Friday with the Rotten Cats
Hello, readers! Mom is having a rough week, so we decided to give her some help with the blog. Cat Three told Mom to go to bed and let us take care of everything. We found this video the other day and thought it was super funny. Check it out. One of us can bark…
Friday Favorites – Yes, I Know It Isn’t Friday Edition
I am well aware that it is not Friday. I would like it to be, though. Does that count? But I have this little collection of new favorites in my head and I am simply too impatient to wait until Friday to share them. So here they are. Completely random, completely unrelated to one another…
Saturday Morning Throwback
Apparently, Saturday morning cartoons are not quite what they used to be. I spent considerable time thinking about this over the last couple of days. Kidzilla and I have matching sinus infections (lovely) and so we all took it pretty easy this weekend. On Saturday, all Zilla really wanted to do was curl up and…
Happy Birthday, Rotten Cats!
The Rotten Cats are having a birthday celebration this month. I can’t even begin to imagine how it is possible that I care when three Rotten Cats have a birthday. And yet here I am, telling the world that it’s Rotten Cat Birthday Month.
Why I’m Lovin’ McDonald’s
I swung through McDonald’s drive-thru for lunch on Friday. Not the healthiest option, perhaps, but necessary. I usually pack lunch (or, to be more accurate, my Fab Hub packs lunch for me), but Friday looked like a snow dismissal day, so I figured I’d be home in time for lunch. Wrong.
Be Careful What you Wish For – Or At Least Be Precise
“I think God owes me a parking spot this morning,” I thought out loud as I turned onto the street where I work. (No, no, not like that…the street where the building in which I work is located. But see how that’s just too unwieldy?) Honestly. As I pulled up next to the building, I…
Stop and Focus
“Just focus on one thing.” That’s what my Fab Hub said to me tonight when I was having one of my over-stressed holy-crap-there-is-too-much-on-my-plate meltdowns.
