I think I can…

The Boy and I ventured out on Sunday to North Park.  Recalling our recent canoeing trip, he says, “Want to get a tandem bike and fight?” I gave him a look (that only women can do) and we rented two bikes.
I thought, “This is going to be fun.” Not a half mile into it, we [...]

The romance of canoeing

The Boy and I decided to travel to Lake Arthur for a day on the water. Me, “Can we rent a pontoon boat?” Him, “No, I was thinking we’d get some exercise.” I thought, “Okay – I’ve been slacking much in the way of exercise – canoe it is!”
You know in the movies how they [...]

Bunny Lips

I absolutely adore bunny lips, and bunny bums. But the lips are my favorite – so pink and sweet. It’s even sweeter when they are munching on some greens. This is Madame Bunny. Though, she may seem like she’s having fun, she’s actually perturbed. I was able to snap a picture just before she snapped [...]

Saturday morning sleep in.

I had a really bad experience this morning. Sleeping fine, deep and relaxed but in the wee hours of trying to get past the weekday-wake-up-for-work-hours to the weekend-sleeping-in-hours, one of our three alarms goes off. I JUMP! Heart racing and startled, I think, “I’m late for work.” I’m halfway out of bed when [...]

Spring Cleaning

I spring-cleaned the buns condo and courtyard. Let’s just say, it’s not their fav thing. Mr. R is use to it, but that doesn’t mean he likes it, and Madame, well, I don’t want to talk about it. The cutest thing is when I’m done, they go in and investigate. <sniff, sniff>. Then, as if [...]

Dick!

It’s 1977, and I just moved onto a newly developed, dead-end neighborhood; the kind that all the homes lookalike. Only a few homes are completed, and there is this one house across the dirt street with a family pulling into their driveway. It’s the Truschel’s.  I didn’t realize at the moment, but I was introduced [...]

Living with the Boy – Week 2

The Boy has been on his own for most of his adult, peace-and-quiet, life. Gollum if you will…
Those of you who know me, I’m not a peace-and-quiet kind of girl. I’m all about noise, clutzey-grand entrance kind of things. Kramer if you will…
We mostly have dinner while watching the news – the news is one [...]

Living with the Boy – Week 1

I’ve done little things around the Boy’s place – adding my mark. Mostly moving things around in the kitchen. At work, I get a txt from him at home. BUT First, let me explain. I’m frugal – so when soap gets low in the pump, I add a little water, shack it, and ‘Wa, la’ [...]

Duh-isms, Texting

If you have the iPhone, then you might have this problem, or it might just be me…
To text is an every-so-often thing for me. For the most part, my texts are to and from the Boy. The iPhone stores the most recent text, or received text at the top – making that number easily accessible [...]

Infomercial Star, Forbes Riley Busted

I don’t know what it is, but I can easily be persuaded by infomercials.  I have the Set-it and Forget-it rotisserie oven by Ronco sitting in my storage unit. A year ago, I was pulled into the Samy hair products – paying for shipping and handling – only to find out it’s sold at WalMart.
Sunday [...]
