youngest daughter

will officially be eleven years old in 15 minutes. It’s strange to think that my youngest child is this age.
When we were driving out to Mom & Dad’s house this afternoon, I was telling her about the day she was born. I told her how Julie had to run out to [...]

the cake & the wave

The cake. DD13 helped with the flowers. Cute, eh?

And the birthday princess waving to the minions.

7 + 8

I’ve been tagged by Ann over at Each Day is a Gift to list 8 facts about myself or 8 habits that I have. I was also tagged by my sister Julie to list 7 facts/things things about myself. So I’ll make it easy & combine them. All of you lucky readers [...]

cupcakes

Kool-Aid pickles

Have you heard of these?
Maybe I’m completely out of the loop, but I just heard about Kool-Aid flavored pickles today at work.
It’s just not an appetizing thought. But, then, I’m funny about foods. I’ve not ever tasted Mountain Dew (the color.. ick!), and cannot bear the thought of [...]

WOWIO

The iPod Shuffle that I won from referring 10 people to WOWIO came in from FedEx today. It’s green. And so cute!
Thanks, everyone who asked for a referral & signed up! Thanks, MSMomsmoney for posting on your blog about it and for sending me a referral!

overheard conversation

A: When I am finished rebuilding the car, I’m going to get a personalized license plate for it. I like having them for my other car & truck.
A: Hey. Where do they make license plates? Do prisoners still make them?
B: Hey, C. Do prisoners still make license plates?
C: [...]
