Christmas Fun, New Year Drive Adventure and Back to Reality: RTT Rebel

Did you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year?  We were gone the whole time, so it feels like we’ve been gone forever, even though it’s only been a little over a week.  Back to reality today though – and a house that looks like a tornado went through it after we…

Rescheduled Birthday with Chuck, Dinosaur Dilemma, Christmas Shopping Conundrum

We’re on the home stretch to Christmas – only 5 days left.  I’m in my last minute frantic mode (aren’t we all?) so I’m going to make this a quickie today.  And I apologize for my lack of hostessing attention, I promise after the holidays you’ll not be able to get rid of me skulking…

Awesome B-Day, Table Top Tree, the Power of Twitter, and a New Catch Phrase

I had an awesome birthday – the prime rib at LongHorn Steakhouse was perfect this time (they redeemed themselves from our unfortunate visit on Princess Nagger’s birthday).  Princess Nagger even ordered Prime Rib – her first one – and she loved it.  So did I.  There was so much left over we had an easy…

Dino Nest, Giant Angry Bird, New Driveway, Geeky Gifts and Foggy Brain Take 2

Here we are mere days from Thanksgiving.  Princess Nagger is not only looking forward to the turkey, but the fact that after today, she’ll have six days in a row off from school.  I’m looking forward to having six days in a row of not having to round her up for school in the morning,…

Final Pre-Tween Birthday

Yesterday was jam-packed action-filled from 5:30am until late last night with hurried birthday preparations from baking cupcakes to wrapping presents to make sure today starts off right.  So much so that I didn’t have a chance to sit down and allow my muddled brain to transfer thoughts through my fingertips to create a cohesive post…
