Cold Fluffy White Stuff Falling From the Sky

They say it’s called snow. And they even closed school! I’m not entirely convinced but it sure has been cold all day. I’m drinking my obligatory mug of hot chocolate right now. (Yes Emily, I made it the same way you did last night!) The kids have even be out in it a few times. [...]

I know it’s rather cliche to say that marriage has it’s ups and downs but I’ll say it anyway, “Marriage has its ups and downs.” DB and I have been married a bit over 12 1/2 years. So far, we’ve had a very good marriage. We did encounter a rough patch about six years ago [...]

Welcome Conservative Refugees

 Are you a conservative frustrated with the inevitable nomination of John McCain to the Republican ticket for the 2008 presidential election?  Are you fearful that no matter who the president, Democrat or Republican, that your taxes will go up and Federal spending will continue to spiral into the stratosphere?  Are you concerned that the U.S.A. will [...]

Little Big Guy

The GMan took a rare nap the other day. When I peeked in on him, here’s what I found:

Asleep with his hands behind his head! ::sniff sniff:: My little guy is growing up!
