Grandma, tweezers, gaming and winkies

Do NOT, tell my mother I put this picture up on the Internet.  She would not be pleased.  This is her squinting to see through the “special affect” glasses that Master’s Daughter passed out this year.  There were two kinds.  One put snowmen around the Christmas tree lights and the other, as you will see [...]

There’s no place like home!

That is true.  There are places that are better, but it’s still great to crawl into your own bed. 
Master’s Daughter’s house definitely has it’s perks.  She is a great cook and has the absolutely best personality in the world.  Everyone is welcome and warmly treated.  Somehow, she keeps her patience throughout it all.

I love to go [...]

“I got a wand and you didn’t!”

I am possibly – heck not even probably, we are talking certainly here, the ONLY sixty year old to tell a seven year old, on Christmas day,  
 
“Yeah, but I got a wand and you didn’t!”   
 
In my defense, I will say that I did not stick my tongue out at her and I let her help [...]

Lots of laughs and no arguments, to all!

This is the first Christmas we have taken our new/used Chrysler Voyager to Master Daughter’s house.  We make the trek each year with my mother and the three boys, and have had a larger Astro Van in the past.  Since it has no heater/air-conditioner, no muffler and not much else working, we purchased this car [...]

I love, no I hate, no I love my touchscreen laptop.

Since I have a definite love/hate relationship with my touchscreen laptop, I was interested in jkOnTheRun » Blog Archive Touchscreens add nothing to laptop usefulness « this blog when I went to log on this evening. 
I think every point he makes is entirely valid.  For the average person, and sometimes me, (and we all know I [...]

Every movie is a new movie!

The boys have wanted me to purchase Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for some time now.  I gave in and bought it the other day.  The only thing is that, things being things, they did not have the wide screen version and I did not notice till we were home.  Drats!
 
We had [...]

I gag, you gag!

Growing up with an obssessive compulsive mother, it is not at all strange that I should have a tick or two.  It is always nice to learn that you are not the only person in the world with a particular tick.  So, when I read Me and Your Mouth « XUP  this morning, I about [...]

How funny is a colonoscopy?

All in all, given that I had no idea I had even had it, when I woke up, it wasn’t bad and the report was all good.
I had a humorous anesthesiologist, which is probably the first time I’ve had that. He was cute too. But, when he told me the shot [...]

It is time for a Viggo Mortensen post!

Since Viggo Mortensen – 99.9% perfect beats my next top viewed post by double the visitors, I figure my Holiday gift to my readers will be a Polldaddy Poll. It will stay on top of my blog until New Years Eve (if I remember to let it move on down then), and [...]
