See this picture? See the face on Joey? The one that says “I can so take pictures better than you, you mere mortal, so give. me. that. camera!” I have taken far too many pictures like this because every time he sees my camera that’s the pose he makes. As much as I love my…

Friday night Jon was watching a Godsmack dvd and I noticed that the lead singer has a little star tattooed on his cheek.Ooh, wouldn’t that be cute? Like 3 little stars tattooed up by my eye?Hmmm.But tattooing your face really requires that you commit to a lifestyle that I’m just not cut out for. I…

This morning I attended a Pampered Chef party at my next door neighbor’s house. That’s her daughter E above modeling the PC kid’s apron and hat. She took her job seriously. I really like my neighbor C so I knew it would be a fun time, but it was even more fun because my sister…

I went to a James Taylor concert many, many moons ago and he said “Welcome to North Carolina- the land of red dirt and dead cars.” Well, you can add Iron Monkey to the list. Iron Monkey is Jon’s Camry. Jon’s driven nothing but Toyota Camry’s for a million years and has never had a…

I’m going to climb up on my soapbox for a minute just so I can rant a little and wave my fists around. It won’t change anything, but it will make me feel better. The picture above is of my Effexor XR. I take them for anxiety. And since China changed their regulations, the simple…

I realized that I haven’t explained yet if we’re still adopting from China. As our social worker told us “That option is closed to you now”. So no, we’re not adopting from China. It feels like a break up. We’ve been in love with China and our Chinese baby for 2 years. We’ve collected books,…

Today we had a bit of a snow. At my house we got maybe 2 inches. The whole city was shut down. Other parts of town got a bit more though, in some parts up to 5 inches. It was Molly’s first snow and at first she didn’t know what to think of it. She…
