I got a Ipod Nano today.
I thought KP was being a very generous husband. Later he admitted that getting me my own Ipod was almost like a gift to himself. Now he can take his own Ipod to work every day instead of leaving it home for me to take to the gym.
I just […]

Sly’s maintenance needs are going up and up. I may have to trade her in for a younger model that requires less upkeep.

Princess came down with a cold yesterday. Now we’ll settle in for it to make the rounds through the family. KP generally misses this type of thing. Chief will get it but his version will include vomiting because any illness with Chief requires a day or two of vomiting. I get everything that comes down […]

Chief has been learning about writing friendly and business letters. Here’s the opening for the friendly letter lesson:
“How can you share news with someone you probably will not see for a long time? How can you give or accept an invitation or thank someone for a favor shown when he lives far away from […]

Quite proud she is

I thought the whole idea behind Corelle dishes was that they don’t break. Not true. I dropped a bowl today from the top shelf of the refrigerator. When it hit the floor it shattered.

read
played
went for a walk (its 60 degrees today!)
Princess created a […]

KP is clean shaven again. Since I was in charge of the beard, I suggested he try just a mustache and goatee. Since the two didn’t connect it looked odd. He then shaved the mustache leaving the goatee. I definitely didn’t like that so he shaved the whole thing. Ah well maybe someday he’ll grow […]

The pay at WW certainly isn’t much but we get nice perks quite often. Its a rare week when I don’t come home from my meeting with some sort of free product. We got nice watches at the regional staff meeting in November. Today I received two full size Clinique products. They sent them to […]

Sly cooked up a 2o pound Turkey today. (49 cents a pound woohoo!) (thanksgiving purchase)
It’s a big bird and I had to flip it upside down and got grease everywhere. Oops. Unfortunately I also wiped my hands on my pants without even thinking.
I was not allowed to sit my Turkey pants down […]
