Four!

Apparently, even weekly is too much.  I’ll try to be by more often, but with naps a thing of the past, I feel like my free time has vanished.  I try to sneak by when I can, even if I don’t comment.

Simulations

Do you remember the video game The Sims?  The one where you simulate a life, marry, have kids, hold down a job, buy new stuff, and somehow try to maintain your friendships?  That’s how it’s been around here lately.  I’m just going through the motions and nothing exciting has happened.  That’s the reason for my [...]

A Little R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Howdy all.  I hope you are all having some tasty mimosas this fine, gorgeous Monday morning.
Last week I was at the mall playing at the play place with a couple of my friends.  While I was buckling Knute into his big boy carseat two women came walking out loudly talking about something or other.  The [...]

Celebratory Mimosas

Hi y’all. I just wanted to let you know my niece (blog named) Olivia, has arrived. I’m officially an aunt. And, Puppy’s such a cute, beaming uncle. Knute doesn’t quite grasp what a cousin is, or that he’s not the only grandchild any longer. Little Miss O decided to debut [...]

Better Off Dead?

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, [...]

HollyDay: or adding that extra candle

****I’ve gotten several comments that the site is not coming thru readers well.  Here’s the direct link if it helps: http//:anglophilefootballfanatic.com
Here they are - 31 questions you asked for my 31st birthday.  I didn’t get to answer everybody, but everyone that asked something is listed & linked somewhere.

A Deeper Shade of Soul-bearing

Howdy all.  I know we’re all getting rather busy now that the BIG day is one week from today (How did that happen?), but I thought I would do something a little different.  Remember a while back when everyone asked for questions?  Where you said, “Go ahead, ask anything?”  I was very frightened by that, [...]

Preschool Economics

My rather comical small pint has just discovered how much fun art can be.  For about two years I’ve invested in colors, paints, markers, and paper for the tyke to get in touch with his (non-existent) creative side.  Partially, this has lots to do with my nearly OCD need to buy stationery and office supplies, [...]

The Bigger The Better The Tighter the Sweater

Thanksgiving Day at Puppy’s parents’ house turned out to be rather unexciting, barring one teensy altercation.   Considering I have said all of about ten sentences to Puppy’s dad since he first took an instant loathing to me, I just had to share some great news with him.  Like the wonderful daughter-in-law I am, I made [...]

Baby Got Back (with VPL)

*I’m guesting at Amanda’s…come and visit me there: shamelesslysassy.com
It’s not a big secret I have a larger-than-average derriere.   I may have clued in when I was called “Big Booty Ho(lly)” during middle school.  It might’ve been when my students sang Sir Mixalot to me in class - oh, yes they did.  Perhaps it was when my husband [...]
