    There’s a cute little linky going on around the blogosphere about some Five things Thing where you tell about 5 things most people don’t know about you.  Mary Kate tagged me and since A) I can’t really resist a “challenge” and B) I am currently suffering a bout of insomnia/coughing and am up anyway, I figured

  • A day late to the party, but the kids have hijacked the computer this week and I’ve been coughing so much I haven’t cared to be on it anyway….however…..bright and early Saturday morning and I’m feeling fine-ish and they are sleeping so it’s MINE.  ALL.  MINE.  And I’m joining in with Jen and her weekly

  • It was a brisk one here this weekend…no snow, but with lows in the 30’s and highs in the 50’s, that’s a little on the cold side here in sunny FLA.  On the bright side, the cooler weather made it positively perfect for a fire in the backyard on Friday night.  Some of us even

  • It’s been an interesting week and in light of Sede Vacante (no Pope at the moment, in case you missed any/all of the news), it’s a somber time as we wait on the conclave to decide our next Pope.  Historical.  Fascinating.  In light of this transitional time, I thought I’d do my version of 7QTs with

  • Don’t worry, the WHOLE post won’t be a play-by-play of all the sick deets of our household, just the funnyish bits and lo, they are a plenty.

    Apparently this Harlem Shake is all the rage, so I wanted to pass it on to you for your enjoyment….there’s a bunch of videos out there, but these are two of my faves.  Gotta love having a 13 year old in the house to keep you up on the trends, yo! Harlem Shake Army style:

  • 7QT Return, Ta DAAA!

    With my whole social network fasting apparently I have more time to blog…who knew???  So, I’m jumping back in with the tried and true at Conversion Diary with Jen and her peeps…of course, I’m not #1 like Grace, but she’s a new mom again and clearly not sleeping anyway…so go check ’em all out… 1.

  • Just another day…

    Valentine’s day, meh.  We don’t really do it up here.  Usually just a little sweet token for everyone and the classroom valentine swap and that’s about it.  As Hubby says, “Everyday is Valentine’s Day around here!”, ummmm ok…….LOL!  In my younger years, I was pouty when I didn’t get my trinkets or sufficient sweetness, now
