Yard sale woes and pretty weeds.

I must be crazy.
That is the only reason I can come up with for the pile-o-junk sitting in my living room right now.
All of it complete with little masking tape price tags.
I have decided to have a yard sale.
Why?
Heck if I know!
Actually, I do know.
There are a few reasons actually:

I need to purge my home [...]

Oh boy…here we go.

I am sure you are all familiar with this photo…

Well…I have my own version now…and I just have to share:

That would be my youngest on the right..and Mr. Kolby Brown on the left…Heaven help us.
That is all.

I’m a baaaad blogger.

But it isn’t totally my fault.
Summer vacation has hit our household and I’ve been busier than a one legged man in a butt kickin’ contest.
It’s only the first week and already we have gone swimming, fishing (sis fell in the lake..why oh why didn’t I have my camera!?), had tons of sleepovers, and even went [...]

Spiritual Trans Fats.

Trans fats are bad for you.
We all know it.
Why, even the evil fast-food dominion that is McDonald’s has eliminated the nasty little buggars from their fry oil.
I have been happily avoiding trans fats for quite some time now.
But due to recent budget constraints, I have been forced to purchase cheaper “butter”.  (Ok, it’s margarine.)
I didn’t [...]

Lots of little things…

It has been so hard, lately, for me to keep up with my blog.
Things are just happening so fast, and there isn’t really time to just sit here.
Such is life with three kids and an impending summer vacation I guess.
So I’m going to try to highlight a few things that have been happening lately and [...]

The teenager wasn’t bad enough….

Now I’m having to deal with the diva…

She has a talent show tomorrow. She is practicing.  She keeps messing up one part of the lyrics.
I made the mistake of pointing out said mistake.
I received, for my efforts, a diva fit of epic proportions.
Followed by an epic pout fest. (much like these photos of a previous [...]

I get it now.

Having a teenager has provided me with the insight into why wildlife eat their young.
That is all.

Have I mentioned?

That I am totally in love with my new camera?
I have?
Oh…sorry.
But I am…I just love it.
It was well worth the wait.
I’ve been playing with it…a lot.
See, I’m toying with possibly starting a very small photography business.
Yanno, do a few weddings…some senior portraits…some families…maybe a few sports packages (you hear that racers??? call me, I’ll put [...]

I want to ride my bicycle..sort of.

No, really. I do!
But my…well…butt is not cooperating.
Why, you ask, do I wish to perch my ginormous behind on a bike at all?
Well, just take a look at the signs posted outside of any and all gas stations around the country and you will have your answer.
It’s nearly $4.00 a gallon for the cheap stuff [...]
