Do you ever feel like your life is a remake of a cult classic movie? I believe I could change my name to Molly and John Hughes himself might show up at my door. Of course, I always picture myself as the Duckie character - the one on the periphery. Be that as it may, [...]
If you’ve seen how my nose is deformed (HERE), you understand why I’ve had numerous sinus infections in the last couple of years. Since I’ve been on Allegra (so happily!) I have done better, but I recently went to the lady doc, & she decided being an NFP girl meant I needed to be taking [...]
Last weekend I went out with a few friends for a birthday celebration. As two of them have b-days 11 days apart, and we rarely get nights sans chillens, we opted to have a dual party involving a martini bar and steak. Sounds divine, right?
Well, I must love my friends something fierce, because while chatting [...]
This weekend, I’m home for my SIL’s baby shower. Little Olivia* will be arriving in just a few short months, finally turning me into an aunt. Of course, I’m nothing if not blissfully excited about this. This is the second trip home this month, and Puppy actually offered to watch Knute for me.
Uhhh. The very idea [...]

The other day Knute and I visited a small science museum with a new robotic dinosaur exhibit. I was very excited, because I thought he’d really love to see the robots. I didn’t realize these were spread out over a trail that was nearly half a mile long. That’s a long trek [...]
Yesterday I described little Knute’s over-the-top obsession with recreating the tv show Phineas and Ferb - in our backyard. He seems to include Phineas, Ferb, and little Isabella Garcia-Shapiro as friends, because he seriously sets places for them at the dinner table. What can I say? The kid has a hard time grasping these are [...]
Here is a very detailed look at my stream-of-consciousness that I am writing at 2:37 am while my husband casually snores in our bedroom. I might even be writing this without paragraphs, because I’m not sure where this will go. I would imagine about 98% of the time I feel rich and blessed. I read posts [...]
There are days when you think your parenting kicks serious toosh, making you feel like you are worthy of honorable mention in the Best Shorts category at the Oscars, a Latin Grammy, or even, perhaps the priviledge or doing what my husband seems to think I do everyday: sit around watching trashy daytime tv while hand over fisting [...]
Hello, this is Holly’s blog. Holly is out sick today - hacking up a lung with her coughing. Please feel free to leave a message, and she’ll get back to you ASAP. She figured since you were so good to come calling, she’d regale you with a quick anecdote.
Who are the people in your neighborhood…in your [...]
I last left you with beavers upstairs in MIL’s house. We resume the tale downstairs in her mother’s room.
Here’s your background on Puppy’s maternal grandmother: She is a seriously old school Southern woman. She is very blue blood and really loves to claim her DAR membership with a flourish of “My family came over on [...]
