I’m late posting about this weekend- I guess I needed time to recover! I picked up Lisa at the airport and we went for Mexican. Holy frijoles was this place bizarre. And the odd thing is, it’s a chain and I’ve never had problems at any other location. It was late though, and in my…

So the entire clan is gathering on Sunday to witness the CHRISTENING, not baptismal, of my nephew Joey and then immediately following we will be celebrating my other nephew Jake’s 2nd birthday. I really don’t think you’re ready for this jelly. People don’t believe our family stories until they meet the kinsmen themselves. Some of…

Sunday is my nephew Joey’s Christening and my nephew Jake’s 2nd birthday party. It will also be the first time I’ve seen a lot of friends and family in a long time as I missed Jake’s 1st birthday (I had my fallopian tube surgery the day prior) and it seems my girlie bits like to…

bold the states you’ve been to, underline the states you’ve lived in and italicize the state you’re in now… Alabama / Alaska / Arizona / Arkansas / California / Colorado / Connecticut / Delaware / Florida / Georgia / Hawaii / Idaho / Illinois / Indiana / Iowa / Kansas / Kentucky / Louisiana /…

Click to enlarge- you won’t regret it! For your viewing pleasure I present to you one of the rejected Easter photos for this year’s cards. Jon said they look like tired maids wearing little kerchiefs since their ears kept sagging. Bless their hearts. We went through 3 different backdrops and 2 costume changes. I just…
