Nice and cozy!
The Economy Size was sitting in the front seat of the Jetta yesterday and had the seat warmer on. He told me it felt like he was sitting on a pie.
It's been a while, but I stumbled upon this...
Way back when, when the full size was less than three months old, I signed up for a mommy and me program. It turned out this program offered parenting classes, parent participation preschool, and even a kindergarten program. I met some of my dearest friends through the program and all three boys went through it. In preschool the boys had a phenomenal teacher by the name of Miss Cheri. If...

Poetry!
Can I write a poem of love? Not before today. We spent our lives awaiting each other Then God showed us the way. The timing wasn’t perfect But we knew our love would be We saw the world we’d inhabit Glorious, in love, and free Our world together comes in focus Through the growth and through the tears One bird forever we will soar In all God’s worlds and eternal years....

One Week Ago Today
Here is why last Friday was the best day of my entire life. I wrote it Friday evening. It is still a day I will remember forever and the most incredible love I have ever experienced.
It was a beautiful day. I spent a lot of time nervous about how things would turn out. I am so in love, would I be able to show that love in all the ways I wanted to? Would I be able to show you that you are my...
A Correction!
The very cool plane picture with the goofy caption came from Upstanding Citizen, Upstanding Citizen is not John aka Ryan. Upstanding Citizen is Fluther’s very own Grisaille.
Michael Savage is insane. →

Batshit insane.
This one really is from John aka Ryan! John aka Ryan, you are a genius!
The End of Summer
With summer fading, I must address some swim wear issues I was exposed to during these past few months. Here are a couple of rules to keep in mind while lounging poolside next year. First, just because you can get them on, doesn’t mean last year’s swim trunks fit. If your trunks are so tight your hind quarters feel like they are encased in fiberglass and the seam in back is...
Guitar Gods
As we were on our way to see G-Force (which my man aptly described as “an hour and a half of my life I will never get back” - what a crappy movie) the boys and I were discussing guitar gods. We talked about Eric Clapton, Keith Richards (the mid-size’s idea), Alex Lifeson (that’s right, you read it right Alex Lifeson of Rush) among others, the economy size piped up with a...
Now I'm Hitting my Stride!
Let’s talk for a minute about fashion. Now I have been told that I am somewhat lacking in this area, that I do not always necessarily cut a “bella figura.” Granted jeans and hoodies don’t make much of a fashion statement, but the times I’ve flirted with style have typically been more disastrous then sticking with the tried and true frump that seems to be my natural...
An Ode to Brother Bands (Oldie But Goodie)
I wrote this gem on the occassion of the Economy Size’s sixth birthday. A couple of weeks ago he turned seven - the drums are in pieces on the floor of the spare room in the basement. So much for fame and fortune.
Today is the Economy Size’s sixth birthday. My youngest son requested a drum kit, and being the ever indulgent parents that we are, of course we obliged. As I type, the...
Awkward Family Photos →
This site is laugh out loud funny. Don’t stop at the first page, go through the archives, you will not be sorry.
Brilliant! Just Brilliant!
I found this astounding sample of my writing while searching through some old stuff. Let’s just be honest here, I can really turn a phrase.
After his defenestration, the svelte city slicker was unable to perambulate, so he lie in a heap atop a fissure in the sidewalk, while the japed and then slaked country boy was loquacious about his deed.
My New Blog
The best question and answer site on the web aka Fluther.com suggested that I astart a blog so that is exactly what I am doing! I haven’t blogged much since I took down my myspace page so it will be nice to get on it again! Maybe I’ll even bring back some oldies but goodes. Can you say “Swimsuit Diplomacy”?!
