I intended posting this last week the other day, but got distracted. Now that I'm here, I have more to add to it. Anyone who knows me, knows I have a pet peeve about cell phone use while driving. Don't... Continue reading

As it's been on radio, television, the web, networks, and all other forms of electronic media, if you missed it, I want to know what sized rock you live under and the names of the other trolls you share the... Continue reading

Just so those concerned know, Casa Wichi survived, as did Dudette, CK and a friend. The tornado that hit town jogged East before hitting the metro area. Which is fine with me as the earlier track had it centered to... Continue reading

We were babysitting the GK's last weekend. NG1 & 2 were in a good mood and great fun was being had. At the table the Bonsai reside on, NG1 pulled out the stool, climbed up, and sat down, entertaining himself... Continue reading

CK was over with the kids (NG1 & NG2) the other day. NG2 is kind of a giggle-box, despite his short age, and CK was getting him to LAUGH like nobodies business. She would squish his cheeks and he would... Continue reading

That is how a discussion started recently. After a lot of bantering, the following comment closed the conversation: "When make-up, lingerie, lit candles and flower petals everywhere, are replaced with long sleeved flannels, martian-green war-paint (that moisturizes and rejuvenates), and...

I know, sounds weird, but it's not. I've been not here not just from being busy (not bad, but yep, busy), but from a nagging bout with sciatica. If I sit for more than a couple minutes, pain shoots down... Continue reading

CK, NG1, Dudette, and the IL's went to the Zoo a couple weeks back. The idea was to get a glimpse of the new baby penguins. They never did get to see the baby penguins, crowd shy probably. What they... Continue reading

With the soon to be entrance of NG2, the topic of names came up. CK and Chew already decided on a first name, "X". We shared this with some family members months back. One of my sisters was quick to... Continue reading

The other day, after some wet weather, D and I were outside. The birds were just having a great time, making all kinds of happy noises. All we could figure was, with the rain earlier, it made bug and worm... Continue reading
