The Toolman Strikes Again
A few years back we decided to get TJ a stereo for his room. Being the man he is, RB went out on his own and picked it up. What I didn’t know until after it had been brought home and installed was that it was a powerful unit. Powerful as in loud. I told [...]
Growing Up Faster Than An Eyebrow
Here’s something that I don’t think I’ve never mentioned. RB has a unibrow. Not only that, directly out of the middle of it grows a long hair, which we call his feeler because it waves around like a tentacle. It’s nothing a few hair removal wax strips wouldn’t take care of. But, it doesn’t bother him [...]
Deal Alert For Gamers – PS3 Racer Steering Wheel
We’re big on video games in my house. One of RB’s favorite types of video game is racing games. One of the first things he got way back when he first got into racing games was a steering wheel. If you or someone in your home is into racing games and has a PS3 [...]
Paint? Check.
I am very excited. My bedroom hasn’t been complete in a while. Over a year ago we had to replace one whole wall, including replacement windows, which have remained uncovered since being put in. See, if the walls weren’t finished I didn’t want to put curtains over anything for fear the work would never get [...]
My House Is A Little Warmer
My parents and LB3 were over this morning. My Dad is the go to man in my life. My husband is not exceptionally handy so there are some things I wouldn’t even want him to try. I mentioned to Dad that there was no heat in TJ’s room. I knew what the problem was there [...]
Do You Think It’s Ok to Change Wedding Rings?
As I’ve been losing weight more than my clothes are getting loose – my rings are too. For the past couple of weeks I’ve been dreading the day that I have to take them off because they’re too loose. I’m planning on trying a ring guard. It’s funny that I’ve grown so attached – I [...]
Val’s And RB’s Night Of Fun – Dinner And Bowling
RB and I recently went on a date, for a little holiday get together for the women in my office. We had a casual dinner at Charlie Browns. It was only the second time I’ve gone out to a restaurant since surgery. I had some tasty chicken that I was eating for five days. Then [...]
Deal Alert On Infrared Wireless Headphones
My husband loves music. Actually, we all love music in my house. Many nights he can be found sitting tethered to a piece of the stereo listening to music. I found some wireless headphones on sale at Buy.com and wondered how well they’d work and if he’d like them. I wear headphones on the computer [...]
Online Higher Education
RB’s still looking for work. As much as I love him I can’t help but wonder if things would be different if he had some higher education. It would be great if he could receive some specialized training or education when he finds a job so he could get into a career that there’s demand [...]

The Games Wii Play
We play the Wii frequently. Like most other families, we all have our Wii Mii characters. this is what mine looks like. We’ve been going through some stuff here and things have been a bit tense. I turned on Wii Sports to play golf and bowling with CJ this afternoon. I figured it would be [...]
My Ring Is Not Flawless But I Love It
Going back a number of years RB gifted me with a ring called an anniversary band. It had three rows, each containing eleven small diamonds, making a total of thirty three diamonds. (That’s it in the blurry picture above. It’s hard to get a good picture of jewelry.) Over the last couple of years three [...]
Gift Idea For The Music Lover – An Audio Mixer For Your iPod
We’re all into music in our house. RB has been in one band or another for years and is always looking for ways to record his music. I found just the thing for him on the Buy.com sale page. That right there is the Belkin TuneStudio 4 Channel Audio Mixer. It’s an iPod Audio Mixer. [...]
Battle The Bug With Kleenex At The Philadelphia Zoo
Right before we went on vacation we got a real treat. We were invited to go to the Philadelphia Zoo to attend an event sponsored by Kleenex called “Battle the Bug“. What fun! I hadn’t been there since I chaperoned a school trip for one of my brothers, and RB and the boys had never [...]
Heads Or Tails 97
This weeks Heads Or Tails theme is HEADS – “Tool”. Going back a number of years I got it in my head that I wanted a couple of my own tools. I was tired of always asking RB where a tool was or if I could use it. I bought myself a light hammer with [...]
