wonders of modern meds

Together, let us sing the praises of Dayquil, Nyquil, and Breathe Right Strips.
I feel much better this morning. My head is filled with only a half a vat of snot and I actually slept last night. (Nyquil is wonderful…especially when it’s helped along by a glass of chardonnay.)
So I woke refreshed today. Which is a [...]

head + cold

Remember that truck I was looking for on Friday?
Well, it came back last night and this time it dropped a vat of snot on top of me.
Head cold anyone?
And where does the phrase head cold come from? Sure, my head is stuffed up like a sausage, but I’m far from cold. I’m not even remotely [...]

changing time…

There was a time in the not so distant past, that last night was my favorite night of the year because of the time change.
For the extra hour of sleep?
Well, that helped, but no that wasn’t why.
The main reason fall-back Saturday was my favorite night was because the bars stayed open for an extra hour! [...]

remains of the day

When both Grant and Simon stayed with us the second time, my boys reacted in true brotherly fashion–they showed their asses. Of course, had it just been Grant the 2nd time, we wouldn’t have cared so much. But Grant’s parents were here too, and let me tell ya, I was a smidge irritated at my [...]

back to the grindstone

Vacation is over. Now I have to work again.
No fun.

After some tears (yeah, I’m a big ol’ baby) and a long nap, I felt better yesterday. My house was awful quiet last night though. The boys didn’t have anyone to show out for, so there was no more teasing followed by loud [...]

4158 miles to graceland

The Leckie family traveled to America from Scotland because their wee boy had been here for six months. Having him here was a great excuse to hop across that pond and take a gander at our larger than life country.
Here are some pics from our time at Graceland.
And a few more:
While the Leckies were here, [...]

sadness

My new family leaves in a couple of hours and I’m sad.
Grant, Anne, and BrianAren’t they the cutest family ever? I’m really going to miss them. I can’t believe it’s already been five days! Thank God I took today off. Grant kept forcing beer into my hands until the wee hours of the morning [...]
