  • In the midst of Texas beating OU last weekend (go Horns!) my computer decided to crash – again.  This was my new one, people.  D and I decided we'd take it back to the store and get a new one.  So, that's just what we did. I'm back to living life with only my basement computer…

  • My dad drove in from Austin late this afternoon for a quick visit with the kids.  It's about an eleven hour drive and not a pretty one, but my dad was set on coming so I figured, who am I to argue?  The drive was I am sure tiring and he'll have to turn around and drive…

  • Grammy and the kids took off this morning at about 8:30.  Of course, I got a little teary-eyed.  Who wouldn’t?  W just kept waving his little hand at me saying, “byeeee!” and N was as eager as ever to jump into his carseat and get all settled and ready for the long drive to the…

  • Ok, for all you Taco Cab-ers out there (like my peeps in Texas), I have made myself my favorite kind of breakfast tacos for the past two mornings and I see a pattern establishing here. Those of you who’ve been to Taco Cabana with me before for breakfast know that I always opt for the breakfast…

  • Janelle brought over a tub of 12-18 month clothes for me to go through because my little Will keeps wearing the same outfits over and over again.  He’s outgrown most of the 9 month stuff and even a few 12 month pieces but I just REFUSE to buy any new clothes, especially Winter clothes.  I am…

  • (N)ice weather.

    Okay, what the HELL is going on in Texas?? Check out these photos! Yes that’s my dorky stepdad and brother OUT in the ice!  What a bunch of weirdos! Anyway, mom writes that everyone’s been parked either in the kitchen eating, on the couch watching TV, or in their bed asleep all day.  Yeah, when…

  • A letter to my Grandma.

    Dear Grandma, Today would’ve been your 89th birthday celebration. It’s been three long years since you’ve been gone and I miss having you for so many reasons. On the one hand it feels as though it’s been so fast. It seems like you’ve been gone longer. On the other hand it seems as though time…

  • Reality bites.

    Dude this is a little blurry, I know, but freaking hilarious (and true)! Go HORNS!

  • My kitchen is bright white and sparkling (woo-hoo!), laundry is done, and toys are semi- put away. So now N8 and i are off to visit Grammy, Grandpa, Auntie, Popo, uncles, and all of our upteen billion cousins in Texas! I’ll try and post some while i am there….mostly of the great weather and the…

  • Whew, it’s been a busy last couple of days. As many of you know, i was planning on making my last trip down to Austin before baby comes in April. N8 and i were scheduled to leave today but yesterday we decided to cancel the trip based on a number of factors. With the opening…
