the dreaded upgrade

I’ve been procrastinating about updating my version of Wordpress for a.g.e.s. Expecting it to be a complete and total nightmare since I’m not very techie, I’ve read through the installation section of “WordPress for Dummies” several times, have read the WP upgrade instructions several times and still didn’t feel confident about doing anything without [...]

sighs

I can almost hear the sighs of contentment as my daughters rifle through stacks of notebooks and loose leaf binders and choose pens and pencils to take to class with them tomorrow. The room is completely silent (aside from the pecking of keys I’m doing) as they look over their schedules for the hundredth [...]

cake wrecks blog

I came across a blog today that is dedicated to cake wrecks.  I laughed so hard that I cried and my children thought I was losing my mind.
This particular cake brought gales of laughter.

Smokey knows how to stay cool in this Oklahoma heat. 

hot

It’s really hot here in central Oklahoma these days.  Hotter than should be allowed.

Each summer I wonder why in the world I live here in this heat and humidity with no ocean breeze to cool us off at night.  The reason?  Because my parents are here.  Why do my parents stay here?  Because my sister [...]

as seen on tv

As of late, I’m fully embracing my self-proclaimed unofficial title of “AS-SEEN-ON-TV-tester.”
