Nifty Mnemonics

Due on Wednesday, April 20, 2005
Well, I am lucky in the fact that I have a photo graphic memory, and don’t normally need tricks to help me remember things…. But my husband does! … He was forever getting grape jelly, instead of grape jam, and nothing I could do could help him remember it [...]

Drop Dead Gorgeous

 
Due on Wednesday, March 16, 2005
Well… I am ANYTHING but drop dead gorgeous…. I am a very plain Jane. And to be honest, I don’t use any beauty products at all. I don’t wear make-up. I don’t use any type of lotions. I just wash my hair, and let it dry on it’s own. [...]

O’ Christmas Tree

Due on Tuesday, December 21, 2004
Before we had kids, we always went out to a tree farm and got a live noble fir…. But then our oldest came along and suddenly we started thinking of things like fire hazards… So we bought an artificial tree. I miss the pine smell, but my husband does not [...]

My Favorite Things

Due on Tuesday, November 30, 2004
When I was a kid, I was a great collector of things. I collected shells, Garfield things, anything Disney… In fact I used to have a HUGE collection of Disney collector plates and Hallmark ornaments…. But as I grew older, I began to outgrow my collections. I sold all my [...]

Trick or Treat

Due on Sunday, October 31, 2004
As a child, we never did celebrate Halloween. My parents would turn off all the lights and leave the house. We had to have costumes for school, but my parents would buy those cheap plastic things, with the plastic masks that made your face sweat… Do you remember those horrid [...]

Boob Tube Babies

Due on Wednesday, September 29, 2004
OK, when it comes to this one, I am simply pathetic! ;)… You will see why…
I have many favorite TV shows, most of which are based in the 1800’s, like Little House on the Prairie. When I first discovered building websites, the first one I did was a site on [...]

Superstitions

Due on Friday, August 13, 2004
I’ve been giving this allot of thought, trying to come up with something that I am superstitious about… And I honestly can’t think of anything. Honestly, I kind of think that things like that are rather silly… I’m mean really? How could stepping on a crack, break your mother’s back? [...]

My Green Thumb

 
Due on Wednesday, July 14, 2004

I suppose this should really be “My Brown Thumb”….. My poor little pumpkin plant didn’t make it… It looked all nice and cozy in the ground, and then one day I noticed it was gone… Literally… I believe my 2 year old daughter had something to do with it. [...]

Here Comes the Bride

Due on Tuesday, June 14, 2004
I already had a wedding page in my family section, so I copied it to here. I did “fluff” it up a little, and I hope you enjoy it!… Yes, I know that I went more than a little overboard!

Pet Peeves

Due on Wednesday, May 12, 2004
What are my pet peeves??? Well, I admit I have a few, but most of them are pretty petty! (But at least I’m woman enough to admit it!!!)…. Let’s see, what are a few of the things that bug me?….
Well, I HATE folding fitted sheets… Seriously hate it! I [...]

Holiday Traditions

 

Due on Wednesday, December 17, 2003
When I was a kid, I couldn’t wait for Christmas to come. Once school started, I started to dream of Christmas. I would get my countdown written and up on the fridge when it was 100 days until Christmas and mark of a day every night. One of the first [...]
