My Super-Duper Moon Party

The Daughters were out late Friday and Saturday night and when bedtime rolled around on Saturday, we didn't even have to tell them twice that it was time. Since Brian had been up early on Saturday morning to swim and had taken the girls out to play golf Saturday afternoon and was planning on taking Daughter 2 to her beloved softball camp early Sunday morning (it was really a one-day clinic, but we called it "camp" and all was good), he turned in early. So, at 10:00 last night, I found myself alone with the cats and our big dog JJ, who prefers to sleep inside. Our dumb dog Bo preferred to stay outside, bark at the moon and keep the neighbors awake.

This. This was my Super Moon party.

I'm The Coolest

Every Christmas, I get the little kids of my own momma's family a big ol' chocolate bar. I usually hand the chocolate-y goodness to them and say, "You can eat it all by yourself and all at one time." They love me. And that, my friends, is why we give gifts: So that others will love us best. Mission accomplished. Until this year ...

An Invisible Shield

I've recently discovered that I am the only one in the family able to penetrate the invisible field that surrounds our trash can.  I'm not sure who it was the placed the shield there, but he is no friend of mine!  (Yes, I'm certain it was a 'he'.)
