20th Century Technology for Dummies, Alex

*No promises.  I’m still taking a break, but I felt like posting.  Sue me.  Also, this story involves mild political humor.  I have sworn I’d never post politics, and this really says zilch about my stance on anything.  If we can all agree that there are idiots in both parties, you can read ahead.  If [...]

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 [...]

Taking a Toke off the Pot

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]

HOLY Hell-o: Same Song, 2nd Verse

Once upon a time last spring, the Anglophiles headed home to the metropolis known as H-town and my father shared information so disturbing I momentarily pondered using a spoon to scoop my eyes out of my ocular cavities and having Puppy pour hydrochloric acid in them.  It was that disturbing.  Wanna refresher?  HERE.  Go ahead.  [...]

Pick Your Friends…Stuck with Family

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’s All Relative: Where DOES the Pollen Go?

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 [...]

Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’*the Bottle, Oh, Hell that Hurts!

I know I said I’m in writer’s block hell, but while threatening Tranny Head, Esq. on Plurk last night I mentioned an old anecdote from my sordid (hahaha) past, and she insisted it required a post - so I oblige.  What?  Hasn’t Holly been with Puppy since diapers you say?  Yes, believe it or not, there was [...]

I’ve Lost my Mojo

Hi!  Yes, I’ve unexpectedly taken a whole week off.  I never intended for that to happen, and I truly apologize, not to mention thanks to everybody who had emailed asking where the fark I’ve been.  I seem to have lost my mojo, and I’m talking major writer’s block sufferage ’round here.  A few things are [...]
