A few weekend photos

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

We’re home! It wasn’t the most exciting weekend ever, since we can’t ride the four-wheelers, but it’s always awesome to see everybody after the long winter. And we got some of the work-type stuff done before the season starts.
We stopped at The Basin on the way home (a place in Franconia Notch where water has [...]

Have a great weekend

Friday, April 24th, 2009

I’ll be offline until sometime Sunday evening. Time to open up the camper and get ready for the riding season. I have no idea where I packed everything away, so I’ll be hunting for stuff all day. And we’re taking my sister, too, so I need to pack light. Between her and the Tall Kid, [...]

Can you see him now?

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

The Short Kid’s on a stealth kick.
He moves through the house (and the outdoors and most public places, such as Walmart) like a secret agent-slash-ninja, crouched a little, ducking behind things, eyes darting left and right.
And whichever family member is closest is expected to hum the Mission Impossible theme. As his father and older brother [...]

Today's Mission: jeans and a t-shirt

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

I hate shopping. I’m not exaggerating when I say I would rather scrub both of my toilets and fish Legos out from under my fridge, along with accompanying dustbunnies, than shop for clothing, shoes, purses, gifts, or anything. The only exceptions are Borders and Staples. For books, notebooks and pens, I will shop.
A second notice [...]

Letters to the Idols: Disco Week

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Disco week? :gaah:
Dear Lil Rounds: (“I’m Every Woman” by Chaka Khan) I didn’t like that at all. I thought it was blah and bland and…not good. Just slightly better than average karaoke, and you’re already topping my list of who I want to see go home.
Mr S says: 5.5
Dear Kris Allen: (“She Works [...]

On the run

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Waiting for the husband to call so we can go out for breakfast. (He had to fast to have his cholesterol checked.) That’s the good news. The bad news—he’s decided to blow off the rest of the day which means he will be under my feet for the duration, so to speak.
It seems like a [...]

But why is my weekend gone?

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I’m stuck blogging from the wee baby Asus as my sister has absconded with my desktop. She’s on vacation this week, and they have dial-up at home. So here she is which, of course, led to the Short Kid playing hookey.
As long as they get straight A’s, I’m a fan of mental health days. Sometimes [...]

Stuck at my desk

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

After all of yesterday’s talk about mud season, guess where my husband is? That’s right. Out riding my ATV with some friends. (On private land not subject to mud season closure.)
Rather than dwell too much on how I’d like to whack him upside the head with his own helmet, I’m trying to get some writing [...]
