A Sad Reality 2008-06-10 12:33:05 I saw this video on the Today show last week and it really shook me. It’s footage of a hit and run caught by a surveillance camera in Connecticut. While it shows the impact itself, that, believe it or not, is not the most disturbing part of the video. The part that has created an uproar
How’s This For Karma (Getting Even with Brentwood) 2008-06-09 21:21:04 Around this same time last year Jeff, Jayce and I (the girls were at Dad camp) flew to California to be with my grandparents as they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary (Happy belated Anniversary!). The short flight from here in Southern Arizona to my hometown in California is relatively painless; the only bad thing
It’s Meme Time 2008-06-11 18:35:13 Heather tagged for a meme. I rather enjoy memes.
What is the worst meal you ever had? We had Whataburger one year on Mother’s Day. Does that count?
Name one place you could vacation every year? I’m stealing Heather’s answer. Disney World - Duh.
5 things that drive you crazy?
-I’m stealing another one from Heather because she and
Not Toast and Jam. The Other Toast. 2008-06-12 19:58:18 Aren’t there more weddings in June than any other month? I think I’ve heard that before. Not that it matters really, cuz’ I haven’t been invited to any. But, I did hear this really cute toast when I was at Disney World in April for the blogging event and I filed it away in Read more:Toast
And You Didn’t Even Have To Wait Twelve Years For Tickets 2008-06-12 19:06:52 You know how Oprah does those “Favorites” shows at Christmas?
Surely you do.
For those of you who spend your time hiding under rocks though, Oprah’s Favorites shows highlight some her favorite products for the gift giving season. And if you’re a kazillionaire like her, then you can actually afford to buy some of the products she favors Read more:Twelve

Father’s Day Round These Parts 2008-06-16 11:10:06 I guess it’s been a boring few days around here because I got nothin’ to share with ya. Father

Ten Things That Totally Float My Boat 2008-06-18 05:38:42 It’s Works For Me Wednesday over at Rocks In My Dryer. I came up with a list of ten very random things that work for me. Maybe they’ll work for you too.
1. A 50/50 cleaning solution of vinegar and water mixed in a big ‘ol spray bottle. It’s dirt cheap. It’s easy. And your
Will Work (or Starve) For Gas 2008-06-20 05:17:31 I was talking with my mom the other day about the absurd amount of money she is shelling out for gas. She lives in California where the price per gallon has well surpassed the $4 mark (and is teetering dangerously close to 5). I’m lucky to live in a city that ranks among the
Well Of Course It’s Grand. Why Else Would They Call It That? 2008-06-19 06:18:48 During our first summer in Arizona we went to the Grand
Canyon. We were campers then. Granted we had a tent trailer, but c’mon we still had to walk to the nearest bathroom to use the facilities so I consider it camping. I guess technically we didn’t have to walk to the bathroom. It
Gas Prices Aren’t Deterring Us (Kids Say Goodbye to College) 2008-07-03 06:09:30 I haven’t even been home a week but I’m off again. Jeff and I are packing up the ol’ Odyssey and heading West. We’re off to the beach, San Diego to be exact, for a holiday weekend of fun. Shamu tops our list of attractions. Of course sand and waves will play a part in our weekend Read more:Prices

Informed Consumers Rock 2008-07-02 06:25:09 Do you subscribe to Consumer Reports? I do. The website, not the magazine. In fact my subscription has sort of crippled me in that I can’t make a major purchase anymore without obsessing over researching what those who’ve gone before me have to say about a certain product.
In the spirit of sharing good information
DeAnna & Jason Sittin’ In A Tree 2008-06-30 19:55:27 I’m talking Bachelorette again peeps. Sorry for those of you who don’t watch but I’m totally hooked on this season and I just gotta dish.
Okay, so tonight we saw Jeremy get the long overdue boot. I know, I know. A lot of you liked him. Why? Well now that is beyond me. Kickin’ Read more:Jason
Refreshed, Rejuvinated and Ready to Go 2008-06-30 07:22:58 I’m baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! I hope you all enjoyed Jeff’s posts. And yes my friends, I do realize that I am the luckiest girl alive. Not only did he endure a weekend alone with the two most care intensive of our children but he somehow found the time to put together two of the sweetest blog
Guest Blogger - Day 2 2008-06-28 05:20:27 If you are reading today, then either you read my first installment and are a glutton for boredom, or you forgot that Darcie was gone and wanted to read whatever clever musings she was writing about today. For the latter group of you, I will apologize in advance and recommend that if you are going Read more:Guest

Now, I hope you aren’t expecting any sort of literal genius – that’s my wife’s job. I’m more logical Read more:Blogger

Who Says You Can’t Go Home? 2008-06-26 05:49:42 I’m off to California today for a three generation girls weekend. My grandma, mom, and I plan to live it up with pedicures, summer concerts in the park, and even a visit to a, ahem, nightclub. When I was younger the closest they had to a nightclub was an empty dirt lot where high
These Would Totally Work For Me 2008-06-24 19:34:56 Okay so last week on Works For Me Wednesday I posted a list of ten things that totally work for me. As I was writing that post I started thinking about things that would work for me, that is of course, if they existed. So I made a list of those too. In spite
I’d Like To Thank The Academy 2008-06-24 18:21:14 Sweet Miss Kellie at La Vida Dulce has bestowed upon me my very first bloggy award because I make her day! As the mom of a teenager I rarely hear that I’ve made somebody’s day so Kellie’s award is a special one to receive.
When I started my own blog four months ago Kellie’s was Read more:Thank

Part II: And That My Friends Is The Rest Of The Story 2008-06-23 20:39:25 Okay. So, where was I? Ah yes, we had just figured out that our car wasn’t about to make like a marshmallow and roast.
So we went happily driving along the route that Maggie (we’ve named our Magellan GPS system Maggie) dictated. And when we arrived at the Interstate entrance we saw a law Read more:Friends
If I Hear That Song One More Time… 2008-07-18 06:54:31 When Jayce was born, before we even left the hospital, Jeff made one demand as to our son’s upbringing: there would be no Barney. At first I wondered if it had anything to do with the questionable sexuality of the young males who “star” in that show alongside the big purple dinosaur. That wasn’t it

I am pleased to announce that Jackie at Our Moments, Our Memories is the winner of the $50 gift card as chosen by random.org. Now, don’t get me wrong because I’m tickled that Jackie wins this one, but for real, when I toldit to choose a random integer between 1 and 60 Read more:Random
Frump Is Not My Friend 2008-07-15 18:35:26 Psst. Can I ask you something?
You see, I have a bit of a dilemma and I’m looking for advice.
I have no clothes. Okay, that’s not entirely true. I haven’t resorted to nakedness. But really, my closet has seen better days.
And so to remedy this major issue my amazingly wonderful husband has worked many hours of overtime
Bubbly In July 2008-07-14 19:17:50
I don’t know about your house, but around here shiny new backpacks and eager faces like those can mean only one thing. You guessed it: back to school! Yes, it’s early. We’re on a year-round schedule round about these parts and it actually works out quite well.
In celebration of the big day
Blissfully, Finally, Absolutely Home 2008-07-13 18:25:50 I tease her that I’m glad she’s home because I need her to get back to emptying the dishwasher.
And taking out the bathroom trash twice a week.
Between me and you though… there’s much more to it than that.
She is THE FUNNIEST kid. Especially when she’s not trying to be.

You’d Tell Me If This Was TMI Wouldn’t You? 2008-07-09 23:30:35 It’s official. With this post I’ve hit the big 100. And, not wanting to break from tradition, I put myself to task and came up with 100 very random (and hopefully a tad interesting) things about yours truly. So, without further ado, I present me (the condensed version!)…
1. I wrote a novel. It’s unpublished, but
Refreshing Afternoon Showers? You Be The Judge. 2008-07-09 12:07:42 Monsoon. It’s a word that strikes joy in the hearts of us Southern Arizonans. My friend and desert neighbor Kellie explains our unbridled giddiness at the prospect of an afternoon thunderstorm far better than I could so I’ll let her beautiful post do the honor. But suffice it to say that monsoon season around these Read more:Afternoon

Anyone Up For a Scavenger Hunt? 2008-07-08 19:56:12 Big news around these parts. I’m edging ever closer to a blogging milestone. And what better way to celebrate than to host a giveaway?

Two Down, One to Go 2008-07-08 05:08:48 I’ve been known to complain about her morning funk.
Sometimes I swear that if I see the phone at her ear one more time I’m just gonna, well, I don’t know but it won’t be pretty.
The sight of her dirty clothes on the bathroom floor tests my patience to no end.
But oh how I miss this
