My Grandmommy and her boyfriend Ray recently returned from a 10 day Alaskan cruise. She’s been talking about this cruise for the last, well, forever. I got the scoop on the phone with G-mommy the other day. I couldn’t wait to talk to her. So how was the cruise?G-It was alright I guess.Alright I guess?…

Our little town is basically owned by one very large and very rich family who are in the textile business. So there are lots of statues all over town depicting family scenes involving textiles like sheets and towels and what not. This one statue features a mom, a baby who’s just had a bath and…

Morgan and I did some running around yesterday afternoon, and while we were out we stopped by our cute little Starbucks to try their new green tea frappucino. It was really good I thought, different, and with a taste of something familiar and fruity, but we couldn’t put our finger on it. It was really,…

Jon’s been jonesing for another pug. They are addictive, like tattoos and heroin. He wants a little black girl pug and he’s already named her Molly. He talks about her almost as much as we talk about Ling Ling. Well imagine my surprise when I’m searching for books at the library online and I type…

We’ve paid off our cars, thus freeing up 2 car payments worth of mulah each month that will go into the adoption account. We opened a safe deposit box at our bank to store important papers until…

My MIL gave me this cute little gerbera daisy on Independence Day. I need to transplant it, but I feel so sorry for it because I know that by living in my care it has been dealt a death sentence. There are teeny little buds in there though, so there’s hope. This morning I got…

While tropical depression Cindy made for a rainy, nasty day here in the Carolinas, Jon and I braved the elements yesterday to get some errands taken care of. When we got home we found that we had lost a shutter to Cindy, but we’ll take that over our neighbors who’s tree landed in their living…
