My amazing niece turns three!

Just a little less than two years ago, my sister and brother-in-law were just announcing they (after what seemed like forever) had been matched with a little girl in China. That beautiful little girl, our niece Mia, is just turning three this month. Can you see the family resemblance (hint: frosting)? Actually, ...

Satan is a Dog Person (and other irrational thoughts that make me feel better)

If you can’t tell from the occasional irreverent swearing, bragging about (almost) getting in fights with old ladies in biker bars, and prettymuch general debauchery that goes up on this ‘hur blog, I’m totally a saint. Wait – what’s a saint? Do you have to die and not molt to be ...

Better Late Than Never (Sunday’s love fest)

Preface: This post was written Sunday night. Unfortunately, I got a case of the super-dee-dooper positivity and had to go douse myself in lighter fluid and have Hubby threaten me with a match until I snapped out of it. I mean, there is positive and there is "who put crack ...

Friday Funnies: Mia’s Photo Bomb

Since it's Friday and I love to laugh and I know you love to laugh, because there really isn't much point to reading this (if you are) other than laughing. At me or with me? Doesn't matter. I'm controlling your brain juices as we speak. Muahauahauhaua. What is brain juice? Does ...

Ask and ye shall receive!

Within hours of whining about my lack of Mia pictures on here, I received an email with updated photos. Sisters are totally on the same wavelength.
