      • Happy Birthday!
        02/24/09
        When I was little, and even now to a certain extent, on the days leading up to my birthday, my dad would always say “At this time x years ago, your mom was really nervous about getting to the hospital because of the rain”… And, then on the 7th, “At this time x years ago, we were at the hospital just

      • Birthday Party Numero Tres
        02/23/09
        Carissa had her third birthday party this weekend! Since our house is still in some *ahem* disrepair, my parents kindly agreed to host us all and also prepared a fantastic lunch of grilled pork loin, corn casserole, pinto beans, potatoes, cold-slaw, fruit, and rolls. Delish!

      • I am weak...
        02/20/09
        I *heart* the food network. I could probably watch it all day long. Travis will probably say that I WOULD watch it all day long if we didn’t also live with a munchkin that demands her turn on the big tv. Anyway, Carissa has evidently caught on with my obsession…

        02/12/09
        I had bunco last night so Travis and Carissa had a daddy/daughter date night. They had Incredible Pizza for dinner, packed up her Valentine treat bags for her school friends, and then it was time for bath and bed.

      • Weekend Happenings
        02/09/09
        We had another busy weekend! Carissa was requested for the weekend by Grandma Ronnie and Pops, so Travis and I had a good opportunity to begin working on the living room. Travis had already moved all the furniture out for me last weekend so I could attempt to steam-clean our horrid carpet one more

      • Quick Math Lesson
        02/04/09
        Unless you live under a great big rock, you have heard all the hubbub about the so-called economic stimulus package. The total dollar value of this is sitting at $900 billion and climbing. I won’t get into the pork that is in there – you can find it all over the internet if you are so inclined. H

      • Absolute Worst!
        02/02/09
        We had a great Superbowl Sunday! We were rooting for the Cardinals as the underdog and, even though they didn’t pull out the win after going up on the Steelers in the 4th, it was still a really great game!

        The commercials were hit or miss as usual. Here is my take on the best/worst.
