It Pays To Complain...Sometimes

2008-07-03T19:26:16Z

While we were in Tampa last month, we had a bad experience at PF Changs. It seemed they had reduced portion size while keeping prices the same. Like I've said before, I'm fine with paying more at this point. I expect it. However I'm not happy whe...

At Least We Didn't Break Down Right?

2008-06-09T04:44:09Z

Two nights ago I was in New York City. Now I'm in Tampa. And we drove to both places. I'm too lazy to figure out how many miles I've traveled this weekend, but I can assure you it was a lot. Steve had planned on taking the entire family to Tampa...

The Early Bird Gets The PS3

2008-05-29T12:22:14Z

So, I'm in the kitchen, bleary eyed, pouring myself a second cup of coffee, getting ready to make Steve's lunch. It's a little after 7am. The house is quiet and all the kids are still in bed. I'm exhausted and considering going back to bed after ...

Ooookay

2008-04-10T16:25:00Z

So a telemarketer just called. I'm very nice to them, I just turn down whatever they are offering. We exchange the usual pleasantries... "Hello, is Mr. or Mrs. P available?" "This is Mrs. P." "How are you today, Mrs. P?" "I'm doing well. How are ...

First Time Cupcake Bakin' Mom

2008-02-06T14:50:49Z

Yesterday, I took homemade cupcakes into school for Josiah's 8th birthday. This was my first time. Every other school the kids have ever gone to have had strict rules for birthday snacks. No homebaked or bakery items, must be individually package...

Isn't It Funny How a Melody Brings Back a Memory?

2007-12-29T18:18:59Z

I'm having a lot of fun with my new computer (whom I have named Oscar, just because). Yesterday, I installed iTunes and put our entire library on it. I burned myself a cd of a bunch of songs from the various mix cds Steve made me when we started ...

Same Scene Every Night*

2007-12-03T02:38:42Z

Janie is in the kitchen, rummaging through the cabinets looking for a snack. She ends up putting a single serve bag of popcorn in the microwave, as she does every night. She calls out to Steve who is sitting on the couch curled up with a quilt. J...

Observation

2007-10-25T13:44:36Z

I've noticed that we aren't going through toilet paper as fast as we once did. So I did some thinking. The only thing I can figure is that it has to do with the kids going back to school. Now I need to adjust my toilet paper buying schedule. I've ...

Kinda Lazy Saturday

2007-10-13T18:32:34Z

I woke up earlier than usual this morning. Victoria was going to a friend's farm to dress up like Boots from Dora the Explorer for a hayride thing they do. Sure beats asking to hang out at the mall, so I drove her down. The costumes weren't just ...
