Happy Birthday, Dorothy

Today was Paul’s mom’s birthday. It’s been two and a half years since she passed away, and I still think of her just about every day. I hope she’s doing her Sudoku and sipping wine in the Heavens tonight. G’night Grammy.

Sick. Again.

I’ve been sick. Again. I’ve been sick more in the last 8 months than I have in the last three years combined. I’m over it.

That is all.

This look just about sums up how I feel about this illness nonsense.

Emma is sick…

…AGAIN!!!

And Paul’s brother and his wife get here on Friday.

I’ll be back next week to catch up.

Are we really a Christian nation?

If the definition of Christian is “living by Christ’s example,” then perhaps not. This article by Cynthia Boaz at Huffington Post is quite thought provoking.

What do ya’ll think? Are you walking the talk?

*Thanks, Mo, for the article.

The Family that loafs together

A few Sunday’s ago, we decided we needed to do absolutely NOTHING.

Not. One. Thing.

Except for eating, sleeping, and ‘chillin.’

So, we popped The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring, Extended Version in the DVD player and proceeded immediately to the couch.

At one point, I peeled myself off the couch to take this photo:Image

I figured we needed a photo to commemorate the group nap. It may not be the ‘family bed,’ but it sure was cozy. (BTW, we don’t subscribe to the family bed concept.)

Oh, and by 10pm, we’d finished all three LOTR Extended Versions. All. Three. 🙂

We be Illin’

We are the house of sick! Paul got it first, and he’s slowly on the mend. Now I’m getting it—so much for wondering if it was contagious. Ugh.

I’ll post pictures from Tahoe as soon as I feel up to it.

Hotter than…

hot.hot.hot.

Well, today it was 107° outside. Hot. Really hot. Now I know it’s a desert, and I know it’s supposed to be hot. But still—107 is HOT. It makes your head hurt and your stomach ache–even when you stay inside.

They’re building some new houses up the street from us, and I can’t imagine working out in this heat. Too. Darn. Hot.
