Lucky Dorito

There are many things in life that I tend to take for granted…. I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch, the food inside the refrigerator to be cold, and the water to get hot in the shower (eventually). Those are relatively simple things – all dependent on electricity and my [...]

My husband, (the incomparable Mr. Lucky Dorito) and I share February as our birthday months. Today, that sweet man of mine celebrates his 42nd birthday. I consider myself to be quite blessed in my marriage – the Lord sent the perfect match for me in my direction at a time when I was, luckily, old [...]

This year was by far one of the best birthdays…. definitely one of the SWEETEST. My precious friend Shannon sent my this fun package: At first glance,  I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking at…. the treasure was well hidden: But when I peeled back the *hay*, underneath were some serious YUMMMIES: Can you [...]

Mr. Lucky and I have been married for over fifteen years and that entire time, we’ve lived at least 2 hours from our nearest family members. Over the years, my MIL and my sister Lena have visited at different times – others have come too, but not as often. (My mom came when both of [...]

After a long three years of working on nights and weekends, after full days of clinical practice (and being a full time dad and husband)  – my husband has finally completed the program for his Doctorate of Physical Therapy through Regis University. I just don’t even have the words to [...]

I posted this story once before but I thought about this incident this weekend so I thought I’d repost: Memory Lane Monday takes us back to 1992. My hubby and I were in the relatively early dating days. I suppose I should make sure you know that my hubby and I never actually lived in [...]

Thirteen Things I am Thankful for this year (in no particular order): 1. My husband, the fabulous Mr. Lucky 2. My thoughtful and kind oldest daughter, Suki 3. My generous and soft-hearted second daughter, Beebo 4. My funny and carefree youngest daughter, Luby 5. The animals that live with us 6. My bestest friend in [...]

Right now, I’m off enjoying myself with Lena…. doing some Christmas shopping and feeling pretty good. But, earlier this week…. actually as recent as yesterday morning – I was a bit of an emotional wreck. There is really no good reason for it – this has just been a long week. We were on the [...]

Saturday was a perfectly beautiful day. We loaded up the dogs and went out to the lake for some walking around. It was fantastic. I’m so glad we were able to get out and enjoy it.
