How many topics can I cram into one post?

Starting next Monday morning, I’m going to herding a passel of 5-yr-olds through four days of VBS/Music Camp. Yes, it’s entirely possible that this could be disastrous… Bobby laughs manically every time I mention it, which is doing nothing for my self-confidence. I’m looking forward to it though — it’s the first thing I’ve been [...]

I just had an explosion of good things in the last hour or so… ceeeel-e-brate good times, c’mon!! duh-duh-ta-duh-duh!!

Just got the phone call that our house refinance is going through, and we close on Friday… YIPPEE! This refinance has been pending for months, and I was starting to think that it just might not happen. [...]

Birdie quilts, babies, & birthdays

UPDATE:
In this post a few days ago, I mentioned that Tiffiney had gone into preterm labor at almost 25 wks. Sadie Mae was born on Saturday, July 4th, at 1lb 8oz, and 12.25in long.  I’ve been stalking facebook obsessively… based on status updates & comments, it appears that all is well with both mother [...]

reliving the glory years

Bobby, Sue & I, along with assorted friends, went to see a Guns N’ Roses tribute band last night. Cuz’ we’re cool like that. I still knew (mostly) all the words to “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” “Patience,” and “Used to Love Her.”  And Bobby has been causing house palpitations this morning with a blasting GNR [...]

Fabulous Friday…. harumph.

The sign pictured here was not present at today’s events. If it had been, today’s events would not have occurred. Just saying.
It began so well. I drove to Greenville to have lunch with friends. For 3.5 hrs, we were that table — you know, the one with shrieking bursts of unruly laughter, with lots of [...]

If my neighbor is Jesus, I’m screwed.

First of all, let’s all give Susanna a WOOHOO for her first semester GPA of 3.74! WOOHOO!! Keep in mind that this is the kid who couldn’t keep her shit together with rubber bands and crazy glue by the time she was medically discharged from Clemson… yes, one could say that she’s come back with [...]

Guess where we’re going?

VACATION!!!  Woohoo!!! We’re blowing this joint for one whole week. Yippee!!
I know, I know, we just went to Asheville for two nights…. but it just didn’t do it. I had freakin’ wretched dreams, Bobby had to work, and, well, it just didn’t *feel* like vacation. Ya know?
So in 2 weeks and 4 days, we’re heading [...]

Merry Christmas, the sh*tter’s full

$150 later, the Roto-Rooter man has solved the drainage problem…. wow, that was a level of disgustingness that I’ve rarely (if ever) witnessed. I still haven’t cleaned the tubs & shower — working my way up to it. Am thinking a couple of beers and a pair of rubber gloves might be necessary. He told [...]

sh*t shower

Literally. Heard a bubbling sound from the bathroom and walked into a shitstorm. Sewage coming up through the shower and the tub drains. Called the sewer/water company and left messages for several different people in hopes that someone will come save me before I float away.
Wait. I can hear the gurgling sound again…. there’s more [...]
