This was from September and they are KILLING IT. I love Jane's garden and I want to be that cool when I grow up. ...
Friday 5: “Nine times? Nine times.”
Hoo boy what a week. It wasn't bad, just seemed long. And I'm grumpy because the ceiling upholstery in my car (called a headliner) is drooping and touching my head when I drive. I'm either going to have to staple it back up (no) or pay a few hundred to have someone else do it (no) or pull the ceiling of the Jeep out and use spray adhesive to put new fabric up. (weep)! Youtube has videos but like I said, (weep). So I'm hopping right to the Friday 5. This week's theme is "Nine times? Nine ...

Friday 5: Rockit
Happy Saturday! I was going to write this last night but we watched the Olympics Opening Ceremonies instead. It was amazing and the five little kids who carried the artistic storyline were adorable! This weekend I have nothing planned but a cheat day wings meal and finishing up the A pillow from HELL. I should have just bought him a Paw Patrol Valentine's box. ** Time for the Friday 5: the theme is Rockit. Let's get to it! 1. What’s your favorite instrumental hit song? Wipeout ...
Throwback Thursday: 1988
A tiny primer for those who don't remember printed photos from film cameras: your parents would buy a roll of film and it would stay in the camera until it was finished. Then if your parents had money, it would go to a Fotomat or another photolab to get developed in a day or two. If you were us, you'd send it away in a yellow envelope and get your pictures back in a few weeks. The date the film was developed was on back of the each photo, so even if you didn't write the date on the back (in ...
Throwback Thursday: My autograph book
This Thursday, I continue to plumb the depths of my memory box. I received this autograph book at the end of sixth grade, when we were about to graduate out of elementary school. That September, we'd be assimilated into the Lord-of-the-Flies awfulness that was Beck Middle School (sink or swim, dog eat dog, etc.) with kids from about 7 other elementary schools. With all of those kids entering grade 7, we pretty much assumed we'd NEVER see each other again. We didn't have yearbooks in grade ...
Whatever happened to predictability?
(searching through Kohl's sales flyer) Me: Want a pair of Aqua shorts? WM: No. I don't think I will ever wear a pair of aqua shorts Me: Oh, come on. You can get this outfit, I'll get the lady's outfit and we'll pretend we're "Full House" cast members. WM: No. Me: How rude! *** Inside Baseball: Most of the online sales flyers you see are powered by a Gannett-owned company called ShopLocal. It was also supposed be used for local newspaper ads, which was a colossal failure because many newspaper ...
