That Bible really makes you look hot

Walking down the sidewalk next to church today, I noticed out of the corner of my eye a car slow down and roll down its window. Ready to give directions, I stopped and turned, only to be greeted by three guys leaning out the window leering at me. “Hey baby, can I go [...]

No skates for you!

If you want to see something totally hilarious, go check out your local church gym on a night when they have a Skate Night for kids 3-7. That’s 30-40 smallish kids trying desperately to stay on their feet but losing the battle every 20 seconds. Add to that your own kid, one of [...]

I think I’ll go inside the bank from now on

One afternoon, at the park

We’re playing Bug’s favorite game, “Run Down the Big Hill”. I don’t know why the city bothers spending money on swings and slides, really.
Two kids appear from the baseball field at the top of the hill and run down to the bottom, while Bug and I watch.
Bug stares after them for a long time.
“Mommy?” [...]

Beijing, here we come

We’ve made it to Tampa, and have a whole day to chill before leaving on the cruise. I’m not gonna lie, driving the Friday after Christmas was pretty brutal. But we know how to have a good time in the car, yes we do! We play such games as Find [...]

Maybe I should make Party City one of my categories

You wouldn’t think it would be possible that Party City could be involved in two separate posts on a blog, but here it is.
We were at said party store today helping my brother pick out a last minute costume. The choices were endless – giant Whoopee cushion, or human sized breathalizer box? Diaper [...]
