Sixteen Years

By On 2 Feb ’12

We were going to go see Groundhog Day at the Student Union on-campus movie for our first date, but the ’96 ice storm shut down all of campus and I-35 between Hillsboro and Austin so no one could make it to Blockbuster to rent the movie.  (Oh the days before streaming Netflix!) When we got [...]

Patience is

By On 27 Nov ’11

a virtue, or so I’ve heard.

I have all these goals, hopes, wishes, dreams, aspirations, what-have-you, and people telling me in one ear that I’m insane, crazy, out-of-my-mind, going backwards, and people on the other hand telling me I should have already taken steps toward those goals and dreams and being disappointed in me, even [...]

someday, these snapshots will be “the good-ole days” and that makes me rather sad.

Lots more almost ready! We had these with dinner tonight and they were delicious. Also, here are a few of Korben “protecting” the house.

You are what you eat

David and I have been discussing the Food, Inc. documentary a lot recently. Hand in hand with Supersize Me, it’s changing the way we want to feed our boys and ourselves. I mean, you probably already know that nearly all of the meat sold in the supersized grocery stores is raised in Concentrated [...]

keep it simple

I haven’t made New Years’ Resolutions in a very long time, but this year I thought I would try my hand at a few.  After giving it a lot of thought and some prayer, I’ve come up with a handful that I think will be relatively easy (read: successful) for me this year.

• I [...]

some technical changes

By On 2 Jan ’10

So, you might have noticed that the web address for the blog here is a’changing (has changed/sometimes acts wonky) – WordPress is no longer stored in the “wordpress” folder for one.  Also, the old RSS feed is dead.  pow.  gone.  New one works, though.  I think. I guess I should have thought out the process [...]

Things might disappear here for awhile…

…as I figure out moving this site to a new host!

TCH has served us well for many years but I needed to be able to host two domains now with the added business site and it only makes sense to have them on the same hosting plan, so farewell, TCH.  Hello Bluehost… well, in [...]

Something I did or didn’t do broke my last template so here’s a fresh start with the stock images… I’ll change them when I have time … it might take me a week seeing how darn busy I am.

At least this way you can see the posts… the broken template was fried and only [...]

wishlist

By On 20 Nov ’09

I got the question yesterday, “So, what do the boys want for Christmas?”

It’s not a matter of what they want. They want it all. They’re human – selfish greedy sinful humans. It is a matter of what David and I think they would benefit from having and would enjoy. So with that thought, here [...]
