We have a new member of the family. This is Jack, or Boo, we aren't really sure what we are going to call him. We will not be calling him "Hip-Hop" or Kanye like the 7 year old thinks we should. Jack or Boo is a 9 week old Flemish Giant. At 9 weeks he is already bigger than the cat and will eventually look
Okay, that might be a little hyperbolic but I can't use it without setting half of the food on fire while the other half is still frozen. What happened you ask? The little doohicky broke that spins the plate. Now the plate won't spin. So I did what any rational person would do and I forgot about it for a few days. In fact I
Something strange is happening in Arkansas. Last week more than 5000 birds fell from the sky over Beebe, Arkansas. The day before, near the city of Ozark, over 80,000 dead fish washed up on the shores of the Arkansas River which is about 125 miles away from Beebe. Officials are scratching their heads trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
I was just thinking to myself yesterday that wow, we're half way through December and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm not sad, not angry, not scared to death to face the end of one more year of my life even though all the changes I promised myself I would make last year haven't happened. I was on top of things. In fact my
It was our first Christmas as a married couple. Ex#1 and I had only been married for a couple of months when we celebrated our first holiday as husband and wife.

Do you ever wake up in the morning thinking about a blog post, maybe it was a dream or something? I did this morning. It was quiet, no one was doing this yet, and I was actually chuckling to myself over this post. I was talking to Cardiogirl the other day. Cardiogirl is one of many bloggers I have actually talked to on the phone
Image by Mark Sardella via Flickr School starts in exactly one week. I'm so excited I can't even tell you. I can't tell you because now that summer is almost over the kids want to cram every little bit of activity into the remaining days of summer. And at the same time they are bored! My daughter, the one who hates school is looking forward
A year ago I tried eHarmony. It didn't work and I canceled my membership but occasionally they send me profiles in the hopes that I will read something that strikes my fancy. I could remove my name from their list but you never know, they might send me a profile that interests me. So far they have only sent me blog fodder. In my profile
Image via Wikipedia The internet and the cable news channels have been all aflutter over the apparent racist rant of talk show radio host Dr. Laura Schlessinger. In a nutshell Dr. Laura had a caller on her show who was offended that her husband's friends used the N word around her. The caller is black and her husband is white. You can listen to the
Image via CrunchBase I'm not packing, I'm not desperately writing a few posts to auto-post while I am gone. I'm not excited. Because I'm not going to Blogher like every other blogger I know. I could go to Blogher 2010 but I have better things to do. I have to figure out how to get more than 7 readers in my Feedburner chicklet. I have
