I survived!

Today the weather was really nice. Duck took my motorcycle to a nearby school bus parking lot (I say this so you’ll realize how big the parking lot is), and I got to ride my first 3 miles on my bike! Duck said I did really good for my first time, although I was [...]

Christmas 2007 - Part 3: You got me what?

Duck is sneaky. He got me good this year. I thought he was going to buy me much needed underwear — he even called me one day asking me questions about sizes. So while I was unwrapping gifts, I came across a cd case with a picture and a note inside it. When I was [...]

“I killed the turkey.”

“I killed the turkey,” Duck came into my office looking a little shocked.
“Surely you didn’t kill it,” I let out a little giggle. We walked out on the back deck and he opened the lid to his grill. The turkey was on fire. Let me just say it again, the turkey was on fire! At [...]

Thankful Thursday

Last night Duck asked me why I share embarrassing stories with the world, and none of the good stuff. So I decided to make my Thankful Thursday post all things I’m thankful for about him.

I am thankful that he simply goes to the laundry room to look for clean clothes instead of yelling at me.
I [...]

My fender-bender

My Genius Better Half was a little embarrassed that I shared the Gate mishap on my blog. He suggested I share my fender-bender story, and I needed something to write about today anyway!
When I was pregnant with Doodle (she’s 8 years old now so this was almost 9 years ago), Duck and I worked together [...]

Evil Knievel

Duck sent me an email yesterday saying he enjoyed reading a few of my latest posts. We were talking over lunch and I told him it had been awhile since I’ve written about any of my dealings with My Genius Better Half (which is Duck for those of you who don’t know). I guess he [...]

Reasons I should be Best Mom/Wife of the Year

Moms Blogging is still looking for the Meanest Mom. I don’t think any of the reasons I’m going to list here make me the meanest mom, but we’ll see.

I am the Queen of Shrink — no, I should rephrase that. I’m the Queen of Laundry. If my husband’s missing clothes (say the all important clean [...]

Happy Anniversary to me …

Happy Anniversary to me (and Duck) …
Happy Anniversary to me-me-me (and Duck-Duck-Duck)!
Yep, it’s that time again. It seemed like just yesterday we were celebrating 10 years, and now we’re celebrating 11 years! In this day and age, this is quite an accomplishment. Lately God’s been bringing into my life several women who are struggling in [...]

Thankful Thursday

I came here with the intention of writing a post about our dog Rio — he died Sunday night. Then I realized it was Thankful Thursday and that I haven’t participated in quite awhile. So I decided to be thankful for Rio.

I’m thankful Rio was with my husband during some very troubling times before he [...]

Confession #10,001 (for today)

Jenny over at Life is Not a Cereal wrote a post yesterday morning “Doing What My Sinfilled Nature Craves.” I have a horrible tendency to research subjects to death — so while “I am a writer” or at least wanting to be, I’ve been researching all the books I should read to make me a [...]
