The Santa List

Miss A’s Christmas Wishlist is long and just keeps getting longer. No, there is no freakin’ way she will be getting everything on her list, not now at Christmas, nor at her birthday, nor maybe ever. Aside from the fact that we’d have no money left for college (or next month’s electric bill), some stuff…

Infatuation

You know that feeling you get when you first fall in love, and you have to tell everyone about so-and-so, you just can’t stop talking about so-and-so, you can’t wait to see so-and-so again? Well, I fell in love Saturday night. Don’t worry, the husband was with me…and no, things didn’t get kinky…(though the 2…

Px3 Part 2: Party Hats

I found the directions for these amazingly cheap and easy party hats in The Disney Party Handbook by Alison Boteler. You need 3 things: a stapler (well, 4 things if you count the actual staples separately), standard size green tissue paper, and red feathers (I got mine at Hobby Lobby). What made these hats so…

A Cake for all Seasons (and reasons)

There’s really not much to say here, a few months ago my husband underwent a procedure and decided a celebration was in order. And what’s a party without cake? Also on the menu were cocktail weenies, bbq meatballs, cheese balls, donut holes, and those little sweet pickles. Yes, you detect a theme. Congrats to my…

Holiday Performance

It was a wonderful Christmas, a truly great holiday (except for the uncomfortable moments with my brother, when I wish I would have bought and brought my present suggestion from Day 18 … it sure would have come in handy.) Lots of special moments enjoying being with family and opening presents, and lots of great…
