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 [...]

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 [...]

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 I [...]

Spring Cleaning

She's still here…

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Thanksgiving, the Charlie Brown of Holidays’

Did you ever notice how we celebrate Halloween, then move right into Christmas before the Halloween season is over? What happened to Thanksgiving. Visually (it seems) we only want to celebrate the holiday’s that give us something (candy and presents). Poor Thanksgiving…

Our economy does not make decent cash off of Thanksgiving; so we [...]
