In the Eye of Irma

This has been the most nerve-wracking, intimidating, uncertain, uneasy, outright scary week of my life. I’m writing from the comforts of my sister’s guest bedroom as my little one innocently naps next to me. I’m grateful he’s not privvy to the situation surrounding him. Along with my husband, dog, and bunny, we all just escaped […]

I got wait-listed for solar eclipse glasses

I was late for the solar-eclipse-glasses-at-$1.99-retail-price boat. This solar eclipse is all everyone’s been talking about though, so I didn’t want to be the only overly curious individual unable to look up tomorrow.  I figured Walmart has everything under the sun (ba dum chhhhhh) so they’d obviously have tons of these things in the week […]

The Charlie Brown Palm Tree

Dear Once-Full Palm Tree, All I did was ask my husband to remove the little ugly shrubs to the left of your beautiful palms that so wonderfully decorate our front yard. Well, they’re gone, Tree. But you are, too. Hubs, as unexpected, went above and beyond with a mission to also rid of any of […]

mini stone dorito brain

THIS stone-like object appeared in my mouth with a handful of cool ranch doritos a moment ago. Um, glad I didn’t break a tooth! What the heck?! #MiniStoneDoritoBrain

At the age of remotes

Needless to say, we let him win pretty often and we’ll remove the batteries and ensure something of interest is on tv before handing it over to the big guy […]

the intimate frog

*one year ago today, pre-blog…* I needed a full day to recuperate and stop shaking before I could share my story. Now that I finally find it to be (A LITTLE) funny and not utterly horrifying, I hope others will share in the hilarity. Yesterday, after going potty, I casually glanced back to ensure everything […]

love, your fav rookie homeowners

My husband and I are rookie homeowners.  In our first home for just over a year now, we’re both learning how imperative maintenance can be.  At the same time, our antics have been pretty entertaining.  As a co-human, I recognize the looks from technicians.  I want to laugh at me, too.  But as a rookie […]

the french song.

When I was 14, I started taking French in high school.  I thought I was so cool that I used Napster (#throwback, #reallydatingmyselfhere) to download a couple of French songs by who other than Celine Dion.  One of my favorites that I played on loop and learned the lyrics to was, “Mon Aimee M’a Quittee,” […]
