It was a Rough day…for the San Antonio Missions. They were no-hit by our Frisco Roughriders! Today, the Roughriders played a doubleheader against the San Antonio Missions, both AA affiliates of the AL West (the Roughriders being the AA affiliate of our Texas Rangers). Because of that, the first game was only 7 innings, but… Continue reading A Rough (riders) Day

All I really need to know I learned from Mom
25 REASONS I OWE MY MOTHER 1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE. “If you’re going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning.” 2. My mother Taught me RELIGION. “You better pray that will come out of the carpet.” 3. My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL… Continue reading All I really need to know I learned from Mom
Flying Solo
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
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
Shout out to Dan!
I know he doesn’t read this blog, or if he does, it’s in secret. However, you, all 10 of my faithful readers, are witness to the fact that I DID remember his birthday. So, here goes: a very special rendition of Happy Birthday, just for you my brother. [myspace]http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=8424230[/myspace] Lots of love from your bratty… Continue reading Shout out to Dan!
Remembering
This won’t be a long post, but it’s important (to me, at least). Today would have been my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. Though I’m saddened not to be able to share their Golden day with them, I am so grateful for the 39 years they had together, and for the 28 years of loving example… Continue reading Remembering
Four Score and Seven Years Ago
Not really. To be truthful, it wasn’t even One Score ago. It was Three-Quarters of a Score ago. Fifteen years. It just feels like 87…no, that’s not right either. Fifteen years ago. February 11, 1993. The day I was presented with a fortune cookie that changed my life. This cookie didn’t hold magic lottery numbers,… Continue reading Four Score and Seven Years Ago
Little Miss Smartypants
The following is a transcript of an actual conversation that occurred between us and our now-5-year-old Miss Smartypants. We were walking into Target for a few things and Little Miss Smartypants kept wandering into the traffic aisle of the parking lot. Matt reminded her several times to come closer to the parked cars, but by… Continue reading Little Miss Smartypants
How fat ARE we??
Matt has been waiting for me to post about this, so here I go. Yesterday, I took Peekaboo in to see the vet. For a few months, she’s had this rough, scaly skin on her back, mangy-looking fur, and lots of kitty dandruff. I feared ringworm, though it didn’t look like the kind she had… Continue reading How fat ARE we??
