I Scream – week two

Week two brought a twist to my summer ice cream challenge.
literally.
Went for a 3.5 mile hike the other night with miss Million and stopped at a little ice cream shack at our 1/2 way point.
Sometimes all you need is a simple soft-serve chocolate-vanilla twist to make your day.
And sometimes you need chocolate sprinkles (Jimmies) on [...]

a pox on you!

What a great insult.  I mean, really – who would actually wish for someone to have the pox if they didn’t truly despise the person?
Most people I know have had chicken pox as a child.  It’s just one of those things that you get.  One of those itchy, scratchy, feverish, uncomfortable, downright miserable things that [...]

100 pieces – parts 1-4

I saw this on another blog and thought it was an interesting way to work on personalizing this site a little more.  She had a page where she was working on listing 100 little factoids about herself.
I’ll be creating a page to keep an archived list of these – but thought I’d throw a few [...]

I Scream summer

For the second year, my friend Beth and I have set a summer challenge for ourselves.  But we tend to have a slightly off-center mind set compared to most people we know.
The average person wants to exercise more, or look great in a bathing suit, or travel somewhere exotic…

Family
Friends
Kenya
work
Golf (not playing great, but [...]

a kick in the face

Surprise call from his
fiancee. Didn’t know she
existed. What the????
 
 
Don’t think I have anything more to say on this right now.  Kind of still in shock.  Could use a lot of prayers, please.

Thursday update and mosaic answers

Know what I think is pretty awesome?  Electricity.  Oh – how I do miss thee!  I haven’t had power since last Sunday.  And while I’m surviving just fine, it’s beginning to wear on my nerves a bit.  The last two days have been pretty comfortable after the weather cooled off a bit.  But today and [...]

Monday Meme

Here’s a little something I picked up from Supertiff.  I thought it’d be fun to do while I was waiting on hold a few times today.
Here were her directions:
The concept:
1. Type your answer to each of the questions below into Flickr Search.
2. Using only the first page of results, pick one image.
3. Copy and paste [...]
