I got tagged by Greg, so here we go… five things you may not know about me, in no particular order. I was a TV “star” on a Tucson Public Access TV Show called Tech X. I was a floating head called Otto (they had blue screen and everything) and sat behind the two hosts […]

In Mississippi
We made it. Today was fairly short, although with a lot more rain than yesterday. There are lots of funny stories about the boys sleeping on a hide-a-bed, adventures in dining (Leatha’s BBQ in Hattiesburg, MS: Best pulled pork on the planet Earth, and this is from a guy who’s tried a bunch in a […]
Road Trippin’
We made it through day one! We made it through the first leg of the trip just fine. Brian had a couple “I’m two” moments, but really, they weren’t bad at all. We stopped just three times, two potty breaks and a break for lunch outside Roanoke.\ The stats for today: 590 miles 10.2 hours […]
Quandry
I have a ton of stuff of substance to blog about (church, meetings at Max’s school, dumb ass politicians) but instead I want to tell you all about my latest dilemma. Today I went shopping for the road-trip-required twizzlers and peanut M&Ms for the drive to my parents’ house next week. Then I remembered that […]
Look out, world!
I have been dealing with the longest bout of PMS ever. At what point do I face reality and admit it’s not PMS, it’s just that I am a cranky bitch?\ Yesterday was a bad day at Chez Lawver, with the broken pipe, flooded basement, heater on the fritz, and the lack of running water. […]
In and Out, and out, and out
The good news: Except for one gift I still need to buy Max (I had to take something back, so I am a bit behind), I am DONE with my Christmas shopping! Yippeeeeee!\ The bad news: The heater has been on the fritz, so that it gets ridiculously cold in the house. It has been […]
Thank Goodness…
Costco sells Midol in bulk. Best money I ever spent. Huh, Kev?
Wishful Thanking
Thanksgiving was great. Max and I went over to my parents’ early to help out. I spent the morning stuffing a turkey, chopping veggies and eating (you have to pre-eat on Turkey Day or you get full too early). We watched Over the Hedge and Cars with the kids, played games, and had a good […]
Ode to a love… seat
I am in the process of “redecorating” my living room. I use quotes because I am not really making that many changes. I found new curtains that will let me keep my existing sofa sectional, and I think we won’t need to entirely repaint, just touch up over Brian’s crayon scrawls. Basically that means I […]
Oh, Happy Day
John McCain is running! Yippeee! That should make Kevin a very happy man, unless he has become too jaded. Supernatural is on tonight! (Thursdays on The CW at 9 EST) After one whole day, the kitchen floor is still clean. It’s Thursday, which means it is almost Friday, which means it is almost the weekend. […]
