My husband is a manager for a local grocery store. He gets lots of free stuff from vendors trying to woo prime store floor space. I never know what I’m coming home to. Lately he’s sported a Panthers jersey, put up a new patio umbrella (we have 3- Miller Lite, Ravenwood wines, and a plain…

We picked up Jon’s parents from the airport this morning. They spent Thanksgiving in NYC since it was our turn to be with my side of the family. They had a big time and saw the parade and all the sights. We sent them to the big apple with our last digital camera. Still works…

I recently found out that I’m not the only one who routinely pokes earrings through my 2nd and 3rd ear holes on the off chance that 8th grade or 1985 comes back around and the need arises to hang multiple hoops or mismatched earring sets on my head.

The night before Thanksgiving we ate out Chinese. Jon got the strangest fortune cookie. Made no sense to me. But Jon used to be a produce manager, so at least he knew what a parsnip was. Thanksgiving went well. It was bittersweet though. Grandmommy used to chef up some of the best holiday food you’ve…

Yesterday I babysat my nephew Joey while my sister and other nephew Jake went to see my Grandmommy. Joey doesn’t do so well on long car rides just yet. He was so good though and we had a big time. Sara told me later that I taught Joey a new trick- so big! Where he…

Harry Potter was excellent. The theatre was packed and we had a great time. Before the show started they had fire pirates. You know how much I love pirates so I was psyched. Turns out they don’t pillage or anything, but they do swing firey balls around their heads. Click the pics to enlarge.

It really cracks me up that part of my job duties include adding songs to the iPod. My boss will call me and I’ll be taking down notes as to what email to send, what memo to print, which songs he wants. He told me not to tell anyone that he just bought the new…
