I’m anchovies. And not everybody wants those hairy little things. If I was potato chips, I could go a lot more places, but I’m not.

Day 171: Wreck Today
I couldn’t fall asleep last night, so I was up until 5:30 a.m., and I’m a wreck today. At least I didn’t wake up with any weird dream missions to fulfill, though. Always gotta look on the bright side of … Continue reading
SITY: Today’s Turtle
I was sitting outside, absorbing a little sun, when suddenly a turtle stepped out onto the driveway. In all the years we’ve lived here, I have never seen a turtle on our property before. I called the rest of the … Continue reading

Day 165: Decision Made

Day 164: Movie Night
Tonight we watched Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It was better than I remembered it being. The kids were both excited to see BB-8 again. (Do they ever love that droid! R2-D2 is chopped liver to them.) We will probably … Continue reading

Day 163: Random Sunday Thoughts
My husband accidentally melted rubber (from a spatula) onto our waffle iron a few weeks ago, and we haven’t had Sunday waffles since. Instead, we’ve had Sunday pancakes. This change is fine by me. It might be possible to remove … Continue reading
