Lucky Dorito

Let’s see…. not a darn thing? Yeah, that would be my answer. My darling husband bought us tickets to go to the rodeo, not even realizing that Saturday was also Valentine’s Day. The girls were excited, not caring that it was Valentine’s Day. I honestly didn’t care that we went, on that particular day as [...]

I once again participated in a *swap* organized by Becca, who randomly paired up bloggers in this *Sweet-tooths’ Delight* holiday celebration. I had great fun getting together some goodies for my swap partner – but boy howdy! it was even funner (is that even a word? I don’t think so….) to receive my package! I [...]

In trying to clean out our little 5 gallon aquarium one evening this week, I caught all the fish and put them in a bowl. There are two adults and about a gazillion babies… ok, more like 24 but it seemed like much more when I was trying to catch them! Sidenote: Have you ever [...]

Mother Nature played quite the nasty little trick on us this week. Mother Nature is just a big ole’ tease. She dangled early Spring temperatures right in our faces all weekend – only to jerk them away and replace them with some killer wind. It’s absolutely no secret that I despise winter weather. I often [...]

One of the things that always cracked us up in our early dating days is the way Mr. Lucky and I were able to finish each others sentences from practically day one. We would often say the same things at the same time – almost to the point that it drove us crazy. I’d jokingly [...]

Saturday morning, I woke up feeling much better than I had the night before. I was still not entirely sure what happened on Friday – if it was a touch of Luby’s stomach bug she’d had earlier in the week or if it was just because of the poor eating habits I’d had on Friday… [...]

On our way out to celebrate our birthdays this weekend, we ran into a sweet friend of mine during a last minute stop at Wal-Mart. She said, “Have a great time in NashVegas” and we sort of chuckled as we walked away. I thought she was just being clever – evidently it’s a whole marketing [...]

Earlier this week I mentioned euphemisms…. Recently my 11 year old Beebo asked me: “Mom, do you know what you call it when you don’t have enough money to buy the things you want?” I was thinking, “ummm, the story of my life?” She said, “It’s when you have a scarcity of funds also known [...]

My husband, (the incomparable Mr. Lucky Dorito) and I share February as our birthday months. Today, that sweet man of mine celebrates his 41st birthday. Yep… you might have noticed – that makes me two years and four days older than him. Not enough age difference to call me a cradle-robber, is it? I consider [...]

My girls and I have this constant conversation. Generally, I hit the door in the afternoons, exhausted from work and practically before they say (or in the same breathe) “Hi” they ask, “what’s for dinner?” It drives me bonkers for some reason. I mean, I haven’t even gotten my coat off yet! How in the [...]
