As I left the plane behind me last night, I paused near the waiting area as an anxious family rushed forward. A caucasian couple a few years older than me, trailed by two teenagers and two little girls around six or seven years old, moved as one unit, then stopped a few feet away. What …

The Inculpable Cardboard Box
My mom does a lot of shopping online so it’s inevitable that we have a lot of cardboard boxes lying around, the majority of which have the swoopy Amazon logo on the side. The delivery man leaves them in the designated spot and my dad brings them inside when he gets the mail. It’s a …
That’s Awesome
If you’ve ever talked to me for more than five minutes, you’ve probably heard me say the word awesome. And probably more than once. You see, I have a slight addiction to the word. Awesome. Awesome awesome awesome. Just got a new car? Awesome. Your baby slept through the night? Awesome. Finished your novel? Sooo …
I’ve Gone Crazy. Again.
Seems I didn’t have enough to do last weekend, what with finishing my edits and all. I decided to do a few things for Owen as well. He’s now the proud owner of a Facebook Fan Page called Super Owen. In keeping with that theme, I’ve also revamped his blog. Yeah, I know I changed …
I’m Sensing a Theme Here
It’s been one of those weeks. And one more that won’t let me embed: Daft Punk’s Da Funk How was your week? Anything exciting planned this weekend?
Snip, Snip
By mid-day today, Owen will be less two round objects and sporting a cone. I’m a little nervous because he has to have actual surgery. Seems his little buggers didn’t want to drop, and now they have to cut him open. I’m sure he’ll be fine, but feel free to share your animal-in-a-cone stories in …
Technology Win
By now you know all about my dungeon and the perks — or lack thereof — that come with it. Well, there have been some big changes this week. My fourteen-year old nephew stayed with us the first part of this week so my dad had him doing all kinds of things around the house. …
Handwriting Meme
I don’t generally do memes (usually because I forget about them by the time I write my blog posts) but this one seems fun. My blog friend Erica posted this on her blog, laugh.write.play., yesterday. I’m supposed to write out the following items then post the paper with my handwriting. 1. Name/Blog Name. 2. Right …
Offending the Hooeys
It was brought to my attention that there are other people in my family who could, technically, go by Hooey as well, and that Pulling a Hooey could be offensive to them. *thinks about it* *remembers all the times my dad has done something ridiculous, like burn his eyebrows off* *thinks back to my sister …
Pulling a Hooey
I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m rather… how shall I say it… accident prone. It’s always amused me because I’m very coordinated when it comes to sports, but give me a wide stretch of carpet and I’m bound to run into a wall or trip over my feet. My friends have noticed …
