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…

Fall Decor Still Standing, Christmas Tree Dilemma, Staples Not So Easy, Family Affair at the Dentist Office – RTT Rebel

So here we are, six days into December and my fall decorations are still prominently displayed.  I suppose subconsciously it’s because the scarecrows really wanted to be hanging out for another week, since I was a week behind digging them out of the shed and giving them their freedom for the season.  I guess they…

Husky Voice and a Trip to the Dentist leads to a Lego Obsession

Did you all have a nice long weekend?  (sorry to my Canadian friends who did their whole Thanksgiving shindig back in October).  I managed to decorate my blog for the holidays, but my fall decor is still steadfastly on my front porch.  Usually I switch out the decor over Thanksgiving weekend, but I’m still nursing…

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…

Once Upon A Time, the Hairdresser Debacle and Planning a Very Angry Bird Birthday

After five solid days (and nights) of no internet, cable or phone, it’s been so nice to be connected, though I’m feeling a little discombobulated on how behind I am on everything.  Crazy.  So this week I’ve decided to hit the figurative ‘reset’ button and start fresh.  That way I won’t cower under the enormity…

Technological Disconnect and planning Christmas in Iowa – RTT Rebel

Technology is nice when you have it, and when it’s gone you realize how dependent you’ve become.  We’ve been disconnected from the technical outside world since Saturday.  (So much for getting caught up on the blog-hopping I had planned over the weekend.)  The only reason you’re reading this post right now is because I didn’t…
