Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner

I’ve had a pretty good string of luck this year.  Yup, 2009 has been all right!
First, I won this spectacular sweater in the first annual Stupid Cupid Valentine’s Day party & white elephant gift exchange.
I know you are SO jealous..
Then I went to the local farmer’s market near my new home on opening weekend, and [...]

Friday Foto Fiesta!

Each week, Candid Carrie hosts an event – Phriday Photo Phiesta!
This is my first time playing along – I thought I’d give it a try as part of NaBloPoMo.
This is one of my new favorite pictures.
This is Kim, Brad, Jonathan & I in Nairobi last month, on the last day of our trip.  Kim, Brad [...]

Nov 1st – NaBloPoMo

I think last week’s chaos may have actually pushed me over the edge.   I was reading Derfwad Manor today and saw her post about National Blog Posting Month – aka NaBloPoMo. 
sidenote: if you are not reading Derfwad Manor, what are you waiting for?  Mrs G always has something good cooking at her place!
Apparently I am [...]

Oh, Bama!

Now that the heat is really turning up on the ad campaigns, I thought I would share a few items with you that have been entertaining.   No negative programing here, just a little internet fun.
I don’t care what side of the political line you fall on, this is just plain funny.   My friend Beth passed [...]

Kickin butt on a Tuesday

So I received some serious bloggy love this weekend – and I wasn’t even around for it!    But to quote the Thunderbirds (?) “Any love is good love – so I’ll take what I can get…… You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!”
 
Kelly over at Song for Whoever sent me this little gift this weekend:
 
That’s right – [...]

An ambitious lush

Um, maybe I should explain.
First: The ambitious part is where I am interviewing for a promotion today. One that I have waited very patiently (yeah, right) for almost a year before it opened up. Other opportunities have been available since then, but I have been holding out for something that a.) I [...]

Saucy Minx

Newsflash: My fiendish plan to make the world a saucier place is working according to plan. All my years of hard work: making goofy faces in snapshots, saying inappropriate things in public, tripping over my own two feet on level surfaces, and getting down with my bad self on any wedding dance floor [...]

Bloggy Love on a Saturday morning

We interrupt this blog for an important announcement.
Not really – I mean, how many truly important things have I really brought up here?   I just had to point you in the direction of a web post.  One of the funniest I’ve read in a loooooong time.  So, if you have kids (or not), or if [...]

The Scenic Route

I was reading a post today on Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. (If you haven’t read her – go. Now. I’ll wait patiently until you get back. Just to warn you, her posts documenting how she met and fell in love with her husband, the Marlboro Man are addictive. It’s outright [...]
