was ok.  On Independence Day, I stood home and did laundry.  At night, I heard some fireworks from my neighbor's house and saw some too.  For some reason, I didn't want to go out. I didn't want to deal with crowds, rowdy people or any bugs.  On Saturday, we did have some friends over.  It turned out to be a really fun day.  We had a great time.  Our kids played, we laughed and talked, had a couple of beers and just enjoyed the day.  The best part of the … [Read more...]

Hey! Did you know that CBS is now offering you free episodes of your favorite classic TV shows from the 70's & 80's?  I stood up late Saturday night watching Family Ties.  I used to love that show.  I was really sad when it was over.  There were like the best family ever, in my opinion.  I also used to have a major crush on Michael J. Fox.  I mean, what girl didn't?  I always thought he was such a cutie. You can also watch MacGyver, Beverly Hills, 90210, … [Read more...]

I can't believe it. My blog was rejected by someone through Entrecard.  They claimed it was because it was not relevant.  WHAT??!! That person's blog used to be on my favorites.  Needless to say, they are no longer on my list.  I really can't believe that!  Has this happened to anyone else?  … [Read more...]

I have a 3 year old that speaks pretty well for her age.  You can understand what she says, most of the time.  When she says words that don't sound right, I try to correct her and get kind of upset when she says it the right way.  You see, I love when kids her age say things the "wrong" way.  I think it is so cute.  Even though I do want her to speak proper English, she is my last baby and she'll learn the right way eventually.  Here is what she is saying now:Baby … [Read more...]
