We Have a Lot of Balls in the Air

Word or two Wednesday

My man’s bicep.  He’s got another one just like it!  Growrrr!

Gong! The bathroom cabinets are cleansed!

I apologize for my small pictures. I haven’t figured out how to make them easier to view except for clicking on them to make them larger. I have my IT/Photography staff looking into it and will remedy the situation as soon as possible. So, please bear with me…or is it bare with me? Are we [...]

Rubbin’ Elbows

Darren was invited to a swanky soiree last night and I felt rather uptown, to be honest.  There were a bunch of suits and a panel of people talking about something, but I busied myself with more important pursuits.  The buffet and the open bar.  I wandered around looking at the Houston skyline from floor [...]

Health Food

In keeping with my health theme, I thought I’d give a little review of a restaurant that just opened near us. I took the kids to lunch there today.

 

For the love of Pete, have you ever seen anything so dadgum delicious?  Five Guys Burgers and Fries is now my second favorite happy place.  The burgers [...]

Fish Oil

I’m a health nut.  There, I said it.  If you look up healthy in the dictionary it plainly reads:
Health Nut (’helth nuht)
-noun  Katy.
So with my bowl of donuts every morning, I take fish oil.  I usually take one with my afternoon bloomin’ onion, as well.  What sucks is the after effects.  Every time I belch politely burp, [...]

Works For Me Wednesday

So, we are a blended family.  We are a blended family that homeschools.  We are a blended family with 5 kids that homeschools.  We have a lot of laundry.  Some days we can have as many as six loads to wash, dry, fold and deliver.  This is especially true in the summer when every neighborhood kid comes [...]

Wordless Wednesday

Storm coming into Galveston

Yay! Finally a summer day!

I have been complaining a lot lately about how stressful this summer has been.  We’ve had swim team, youth camp, family reunion, fine art camp, youth lunch days and it’s not over.  I find myself getting frustrated when I’m in the car for 3 hours every day.  I am glad my kids are having such [...]

Menu Plan Monday

It’s Menu Plan Monday!  We finally have a “free” week.  We plan on sittin’ by the pool and enjoyin’ us some summer.  Then next week the middle three are going to camp, the youngest and the oldest are going to Dallas and, gulp, I’m going to have four much needed days of solitude.  Four. whole. [...]

Dude…It’s like, Saturday Still time…

So, Darren and I have completely different perspectives about what’s art and what’s weird.  He went to art school.  I went to the school that had the first nationally documented report of streaking. (Go Lumberjacks!)  He learned what reciprocity failure is.  I learned to tap a keg.  He likes “out there”.  I like traditional.  So, I’m letting him [...]

Flamingo Friday: In the beginning…

So, this is about the time my flamingo obsession started.  I was 16 and my wardrobe contained many a pair of Jams and over sized Polo shirts.  Do ya’ll remember that trend?  I made my own earrings.  I had little hula girl earrings, pineapple earrings and, of course, Flamingo earrings.  And of course they were [...]
