Never fails, every single time I hear the words "Dodge Stratus" I think of Will Ferrell's SNL skit where he shouts "I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!" over and over, quite dramatically. I love that skit! Same deal when I hear the song "Don't Fear the Reaper"… you know the skit. What about you? Got anything that takes you back to a classic SNL skit?? Labels: Dodge Stratus, Don't Fear the [ Read More ]

…(It's not really the question) Anyways, so I was reading Jessica Turner's blog (the wife of a friend of my husband) and I loved her post about what she loved and didn't love about being preggo. She is at approximately 36 weeks, so little Elias should make his appearance into this world soon! Dale and I are so excited for Matthew and Jessica! So with her inspiration, here's my two [ Read More ]

So infact, money doesn't grow on trees, [ Read More ]

I love making a fist and grabbing at things with my palm. I can also show Mommy how my optical nerve is now fully developed; [ Read More ]

Well, that's just gross, I thought so before and I still think so…I've made it a vow to not [ Read More ]
At least that's what my wonderful husband tells me all the time. And that's a side of me that I don't really allow to shine while I'm at work, because for some reason, unspoken, we are supposed to act like adults and be all professional while we're at work.
