I sit here at my desk, tears stinging my eyes, my heart broken. And I’m at a complete loss for words. So forgive me if my post today seems a bit bumbling, a bit disconnected, a bit scattered.  I’m feeling much the same way right now.

Hey, Richie, you got some ‘splainin’ to do
So last night Matt and I enjoyed – for the first time in what seems like forever – an evening at home, together, both of us at the same time. It being Thursday, our activities revolved mainly around “Lost” – but when the show was over we needed something to soothe our confused and boggled… Continue reading Hey, Richie, you got some ‘splainin’ to do

Yesterday being Cinco de Mayo and all, I decided to celebrate by posting some great salsa recipes. However, due to it being Monday and having to deal with unexpected little crises like Peekaboo throwing up IN MY SHOES, I wasn’t able to sit down to organize my thoughts into even a somewhat-coherent passage. So, despite… Continue reading Do you SALSA?
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
A picture’s worth a thousand words
Or at least 8. Yes, it’s May, and my son’s birthday was in January, and I’m just now getting around to having his portraits done. Go ahead… mock me. You know you’re secretly impressed that I do this for my kids every year. It was worth the wait! After our experience at Sears Stonebriar for… Continue reading A picture’s worth a thousand words
