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 [...]
First & foremost, congrats to the kookiest Trannyhead I know for winning yesterday’s Twilight themed contest. I would put the random number link here, but I was a nimrod and used a desktop when I picked, only later realizing I wouldn’t be able to upload that from one computer to my beloved lappy. Please trust [...]
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 [...]
When SIL (if you remember: Pup’s the oldest of six - 5 boys and SIL), the Anglophile family black sheep, first found me on Facebook, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She was just starting her account and for me to pretend I didn’t notice her friend request would certainly would’ve [...]
It is a well-known fact I’m in love with the mother of the Burgh Baby. I’ve stated this at least umpteen different times, and considering that we have been engaged for almost all of 2008, I’m pretty sure you all know it. My Silly Billy Burgh slays me at least once a day, oftentimes more [...]
If you’ve been reading me for any length of time at all, you know I’m a perfectionist trapped in a procrastinator’s body. I have the best laid intentions that oftentimes do not get realized at all. Several weeks ago, I was nudged by a fellow blogger to consider doing NaBlahWri - you know…the one where [...]
If only it were all relative, right? Wouldn’t it be nice to avoid family situations? The ones that you go to with a chip on your shoulder, because you know things will certainly be uncomfortable? Ahhh, family.
You probably know I went to Houston this past weekend for my wonderful SIL’s baby shower. I love my [...]
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 [...]
I want to thank all of you who commented or emailed me regarding my last post. It was not easy to write, but I think I actually talked myself down from an episode by putting words to all the feelings I either repressed or held inside. Getting it out honestly made me more calm. I [...]
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 [...]
