  • My Rainman

    I often call Matthew my "little rainman". He doesn't have autism, nor do I mean any disrespect to the mothers who have autistic children. (…)

  • Love Letters…

    Dear Jean:
    Congratulations!  You won the NKOTB CD.  Or I guess you could pick the Amazon.com Gift card if you wanted, but that would really disappoint me because you're like my NKOTB BFF and I was so pleased that random.org picked you and not someone who would be unappreciative like Becki or Soliloquy.  Not that I don't love either of them dearly, but seriously?  They just have no taste in music, IMO.

  • A letter…

    Dear Donnie:
    Do you know that I'll be seeing you in 52 more wake ups?  FIFTY-TWO.  We're less than two months away.  I'm very excited.  I get busy sometimes and forget about the tickets that are tucked away in my bill box. (…)

  • A typical Friday Night…

    1. Pick up son from Teen Center.  Head to Football Parent's Meeting.
    2.  Ask son if he has his equipment.
    3.  Smile when he says yes.
    4. Ask if he has his cleats. (…)

  • Oh the things you see in San Francisco…

    At some point in time I decided that I was going to start taking random pictures of things that struck me as funny, odd, or down right insane.
    I'm not sure when…
    Oh yes I do. (…)

  • Don't Get Your Panties in a Bunch

    Next up Becki @ Introverts.net
    When Heather told me she was staying in a hostel, I laughed my tushie off. The blog fodder that that's going to produce is going to be amazing! (…)

  • A blonde day…

    I mean no disrespect to anyone who is blonde, I really don't.  And I know not all blonde people are dumb, just like I know that not all people who speak with a slow, strong southern accent are dumb. (…)

  • Coca-Cola Classy…

    Traveling with the Jacobson's is always a fun experience. At least for us. Picture the Griswold's on Family Vacation. We lack… what's the word?
    Class. (…)

  • What I'm Learning About Summer Camp…

    My children are leaving for summer camp on Sunday right after church.  In preparing (and not on the night before — PROPS for mom!) I've come to learn a few things…

    It cost almost as much at Wal-Mart tonight in gathering items for them as it did for the actual price that I am paying to send them to church camp. (…)

  • What I Like About Me..

    I really know how to dance…. (…)

  • Bible Lessons in the Beer Aisle

    It's not a huge secret that every once in awhile, I like to partake in an adult beverage.  I just do.  I'm not going to lie about it.  Margaritas are my favorite, followed by Mudslides, and then, of course, I like sissy beer… (Barcardi Silver). (…)

  • Tell Me Something I Don't Know…

    OnePlusYou Quizzes and Widgets
    Would you be surprised to know that I was the kid who always had "talks too much" on the first report card of every year? (…)

  • Putting on my face… and a giveaway!

    This is my 600th post and what better way to celebrate than by documenting how I apply makeup for the sole purpose of entertainment… and to possibly win a prize. (…)

  • How Low is Low?

    One of my bloggy BFF's Soliloquy is having a little contest and she wants to know an embarrassing moment or one in which you sunk low… this just after dropping her sister off at the Greyhound station… and since I have a Greyhound story, and because she won't stop bugging me to blog about it since I want to win the prize, I'm going to share it with you.

  • You saw him HERE first!

    I have to interrupt this spiritual movement. I have to. I don't want to, but I have to. (…)

  • And we've got some more to answer…

    But first, let me say…
    You can blame me for all the rain and storms as I just washed my car…
    You can blame me for the spike in gas prices, because I just bought a car that has a bigger gas tank…
    You can blame me for your child's meltdown last night… because, well… we were on a roll. (…)

  • I love my readers… and their questions (and my hair!)

    So let's answer a few more…and I was going to do this tomorrow but Becki and Soliloquy were antsy… because their questions were answered in this one… and because I'm nice, I'll do it today…
    Soliloquy asks:
    Being a new believer that found Jesus in the way you did, what advice do you have for believers who are timid in sharing their faith? (…)

  • So I guess you want answers…

    I'll break this up over the week, so if you haven't already asked a question or you'd like me to elaborate on something, please let me know…. (…)
