Random thing we think is funny
Excellent conversation in the comments today. I’m in luff with all y’all. To say thanks, check out this skit that cracks Scout and I up every time.

How to make my husband fall in love with me
again and again and again. He’d been away on an overnight trip for work that involved some hella long hours and stress in a part of the state not particularly known for its culture nor class. As he was putting away groceries I noticed he was putting away some American Beer*. I gasped in shock. Me: Scout, you were away TOO LONG! What happened to you?! WHY did you buy.. Read More

Courses of Study + Pay it Forward
(First off – can anyone look at my source code and tell me what I need to do to move the “Alex Year One” down so it’s not cut off? I really don’t know what I breathed on to move it, so I don’t even know where to begin hunting and pecking to see what will fix it.) I nabbed a tag from Secret Agent Mama for this one: Rules:..

Now Lin and Chris were rather quiet, wallflower kind of people. They never caused any scandal or any gossip within the group (unlike the rest of us.)?Ǭ† These friends shocked the socks off us when they unexpectedly hooked up one night.. Read More
