July 27, 2009

Dear Target Store Manager: Hello Mr. Manager sir. It’s me.  The mom of four who visited your store today.  I know you’re probably busy ironing your khaki pants and red shirts so I won’t keep you long.  I just wanted to send along a helpful hint that may save you a few dollars in the [...]

Introducing the Eggsacutor 3000xi

July 9, 2009

Jeff has come up with some great ideas in his lifetime.  At least in the portion of it in which I’ve known him.  Ideas that we could totally market – if we were ambitious like that. Our infamous game, for instance: a Jeff original.  Really, it was a collaborative effort – but mostly him. Our [...]

June 8, 2009

We had one of those weekends that flew by.  Probably because we packed it full of fun stuff.  Like seeing Up.  Followed by lunch at a new burger/shake find.  And then we visited the Sonoran Desert museum (which is more of a desert-ish zoo actually) for their Saturday summer nighttime hours.  We saw snakes and [...]

April 20, 2009

I got to go to the gyno’s office today. Notice how I said “got to”?  It’s sort of like how I “let” my husband run to the store for me. So anyway, off I go for my annual exam.  I even arrive 15 minutes early.  And I’m pleasantly surprised when they call me back after [...]

In Which I Diss the Dollar Theater

February 15, 2009

At the last minute Jeff and I decided to add a movie (as in at the theater) to our Valentines date night dinner.  Normally we’re not so much movie theater peeps because we prefer the ability to pause the movie at a whim for a quick discussion, a bathroom break, or a snack run.  But [...]
