So, here we are. First day of school. Noah is in 8th grade now. Not entirely sure how that happened. Not just the growing up fast part but the holy cookies, Batman, he passed 7th grade!!! Anyway, because the beginning of the school year feels like the beginning of a NEW year, I’m kinda revamping …

When we moved from PA to Louisiana in 2005, one of the first things we did was buy a new refrigerator. I loved that it came with an ice maker. One of my favorite things is a large glass of instant decaf iced tea filled with ice. A couple of years ago, the ice maker …
A few years ago, there was a TV show called “Birds of Prey” about Batman and Catwoman’s daughter and Batgirl in New Gotham after a war between Batman and Joker. Steve and I really liked it even though it only lasted one season. Noah loves Batman so we figured it would be fun to watch …
Today my darling little girl started her last semester in college. In about months, she will have her BA in English Lit, and God willing, will have a job working in publishing. I’m so proud of her.

Anyway, I had a brief doctor’s appointment this morning …
Yesterday afternoon, I “introduced” Noah to a bunch of toys he hadn’t played with since he discovered the “joys” of the DVD player and Netflix Instant Queue, not to mention the Wii. He went nuts, and I had to put new batteries in a very annoying truck that makes obnoxious sounds when you push buttons, …
My son is OBSESSED with Mustangs (the car). Whenever we’re driving, he points out every single one that passes us. I drove my husband to the airport for a business trip and our son was in the backseat. I was telling my husband about the bank his father had given The Boy and that The …
My son is on a punishment today because he was mouthy and defiant last night getting ready for bed. He can’t watch TV which is a hard one for me to enforce since my office/work area is two rooms away and he likes to turn the volume way down so I don’t know the TV …
This morning, I went into the kitchen to make my usual morning smoothie and Noah was watching some TV, as school is out for summer and his friends hadn’t started ringing the doorbell and banging on the front door. Me: Did you finish your breakfast? Noah: Yes. Can I have some milk? Me: Sure. Bring …
