“It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.” Alice…in Wonderland

None ya!
That is the delightful response I got from my dad whenever anyone would ask an impertinent question about something that was none of his business. I thought of that when I read this cringe-worthy post by the hilarious Jon Acuff on being single at Christmas. I want to say I can’t believe people really say […]

Christmas books and traditions
Last night was a rare night with just me and the boys. After watching Pumpkin Chunkin, I realized we hadn’t delved into our book basket, one of my favorite Christmas traditions. I’ve been collecting them since Little Miss’s first Christmas, so some are tattered, and some have had to be purged. But we’ve gathered a […]

Fine Arts Friday: Nature in Winter
Texas, you may have heard, has had some unseasonably cold and wet weather. The ice that will not die has put a damper on our usual outdoor venturing. There’s nothing like not being able to get outside to realize how much time you spend outside. Even without sheets of ice, colder temperatures may tempt us […]

End of an era
Today Satchmo turns 7. Seven. Seven is no longer a little boy. A young boy, sure. A kid, definitely. But not a little boy. “I’m not a little boy, Mom!” But Satchmo is my youngest, my baby. So this feels harder than the others. Sure, it was bittersweet watching the others get so big and […]

Fighting the cold
Both the virus kind of cold and the freezing temperatures. So how about some holiday cheer for the battle? If you need me, I’ll be under a pile of blankets clutching a box of tissues and a mug of hot tea. This video went viral yesterday, for good reason. Nice going, Canadians! Don’t forget to […]

Terrible Tuesday: I will never be warm again
Texas needs to get its act together and warm up. This is ridiculous. The main problem is that houses in Texas are built to stay cool in hot weather. This is great during our 8 months of summer, but right now it’s working against us. Add to that the fact I made a bunch of […]

Stupid ice
Today is the 4th day of the IcePocalypse, and this is a fairly good representation of our devolution. Except it wasn’t snow, it was ice. Frankly, that’s not even that much fun on Day 1. There are rumors that the sun will come out and the glaciers will begin to recede. The main roads are […]

Christian snow day!
In case you haven’t heard, North Texas has been hit with an enormous ice storm. Last night, freezing fog (FOG?!?!) added another layer to the already thick ice. And all God’s children are staying home. (Seriously, people, unless you absolutely HAVE to go out, stay home.) I will admit that on Day 3 of the […]

Fine Arts Friday: Christmas!
*Yes, I know this is Saturday. But instead of being a good blogger and finishing and scheduling my post on Thursday night, I left it to finish Friday morning. Then the ice storm hit and we had no internet. I couldn’t finish or post it yesterday, so you get it today. Christmas is one of […]

Frozen
The ice storm hit with a vengeance, and although we still have power, we don’t have internet. So I’m blogging from my phone. Isn’t technology grand? No Fine Arts Friday, though. It isn’t that grand. Though super active cialis that means there is none yet, it remains a positive statement for others who are […]
