In an ideal world, one where I had loads of free time and keeping this blog up and running was my full-time (or at least part-time) job, I’d have posted a lot more this year. It wasn’t for lack of trying, or lack of things happening to write about. In fact it was the opposite.Continue reading “#TBT: A bit of a quiet year”

Words of wisdom
Grandma: “Is this an XL?” Mom: “You don’t wear an XL” Grandma: “Anyone can wear an XL, that’s what’s good about it!” Wise words from the 91-year-old on her birthday when she wanted to make sure her shirt would fit.
Always aware
It’s Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. I could spout off facts for you, if you want, or I can send you over to the Alzheimer’s Association’s site. They do a much better job.

A is for Angry
Know what else starts with A? Alzheimer’s. And, interestingly enough, Alzheimer’s makes me angry. November, in case you were unaware, is not only a month when nobody shaves, but it’s the month during the year designated for Alzheimer’s Awareness. One month.

Which reminds me, I need some new clothes. Meaning The Roommate’s Lady – Maegan, for future ref – needs to goContinue reading “Nothing rhymes with purple”
Wait, how many elephants?
I can’t really imagine what it must be like to not have a huge family. Like, five or more sets of aunts and uncles and 30+ cousins. There are a lot of us, and I love it. A few years ago, in lieu of a specified official T-shirt type family reunion, we had everyone downContinue reading “Wait, how many elephants?”

Butturflys and grandmas
Tonight I went over to my parents’ house for a game night – in which my dad, sisters, uncle, sisters’ boyfriends and two of my boy cousins sat downstairs and played RISK for 3+ hours and my mom and I played Scrabble, Scrabble Slam and didn’t even try to act like we knew a thingContinue reading “Butturflys and grandmas”
