That pretty much sums up this weekend. You see, Matt was on a Men’s Retreat with McFBC folk at Pine Cove in Tyler. They left on Friday afternoon and returned on Sunday afternoon. Nearly 48 hours of testosterone, bodily emissions, and cholesterol-laden food. Yup, he had a great time. You can read all about it… Continue reading Flying Solo

Spring Break Fun
Here are the promised pictures from our week of Spring Break.
This just cracks me up
Yesterday we played hooky from church, using the “it-was-a-late-night-when-we-had-to-drive-back-from-the-campout” excuse. So what did we do to fill all our free time? We went SHOPPING! I won’t bore you with all the details, except to say my “I hate Wal-mart” stance was reconfirmed. Then we went to Costco, where Matt discovered a really cool doggie bed. … Continue reading This just cracks me up
Life…as we know it
This was supposed to be a post about Crisana’s 5-year portrait session yesterday, but Searsphoto.com has not uploaded our session yet. I was going to write about how the Mavericks and Rangers both finally won last night, but I know most of my readers a) either know that already, or 2) don’t care about sports.… Continue reading Life…as we know it
Thanks for the warning…
SUMMARY OF THE PAST YEAR ON MY COMPUTER ! I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat poop in the glue on envelopes because I now use a wet towel on every envelope that needs sealing. Also, now I scrub the top of every can I open for the same… Continue reading Thanks for the warning…
I’ve got just one word for you…
It’s a one-word answer quiz! Not easy for a verbose person like me. But I’m up to a challenge. Besides, it’s Friday morning and it’s just too early for lots of words. 1. Where is your cell phone? purse 2. Your significant other? work 3. Your hair? bedhead 4. Your mother? alive 5. Your father?… Continue reading I’ve got just one word for you…

I’m not over the hill yet, but I’m nearing the top
And the view is just fabulous! I was going to do a complete birthday rundown: activities, celebrations, presents…you know, the whole schtick. But instead I’m going to take a trip down memory lane to the good old days. No, not the 80’s. Before that. They weren’t great days, but they were good and they were… Continue reading I’m not over the hill yet, but I’m nearing the top
You say it’s your birthday
Well, technically, it’s not. That would be yesterday. But today’s the day we’re officially “celebrating” as a family, so we can pretend yesterday never happened. This year I turn 39. Yep, I’m just 12 short months away from “The Big One.” That gives me 364 days to try to somehow reclaim my youth before I… Continue reading You say it’s your birthday
What’s in a Name?
One of Matt’s favorite candy bars is Butterfinger. Though I’ve never particularly enjoyed the crunchy, buttery, chocolate-covered wafer bar, I do respect his right to enjoy his snacks his way. You can imagine my surprise to hear this announcement on the news today: Iconic Candy Bar Now Called The Finger You can read all about… Continue reading What’s in a Name?
