Conference Weekend Cabin Contentment

We have officially taken our first trip with Dominic. At the wise age of 4 and a half months, he has now slept somewhere other than the hospital or his home. We spent a night at my parent's cabin in Midway with some family. That night was a bit of a disaster. Little man went …

Simply an Account of the Weekend

I need to make new headers for these entries. It’s not so much Larrie’s World anymore as it is The World O’ The Elkins, or something. Turns out, I am selfish with my blog headers. Honestly. Having a sick husband is no fun. It’s no fun because, when it’s the flu, there’s really little I …

Happy Birthday Hubby!

We celebrated Nathan’s birthday on Friday. He started his day by getting up at the butt-crack-of-dawn (can somebody tell me the origin of that phrase?) to get ready for another fabulous day of teaching and I am pretty sure that I made him a lunch (it’s hard to remember anything before 7:00 am). I spent …

So here’s a themed quote of the week for ya: “When the guys are over, I’ll socially drink Rockstar.” ~McJosh “I’m having something that feels like …

Episode 55: Birthdays and Work

I’ve heard a rumor around these halls at work that the time clock wishes you happy birthday. What a nice time clock. I have NO IDEA if it’s true, though. I don’t work on my birthday. The very first year I celebrated my birthday while employed here, October 14th fell on a Friday. Several things …

Tracy’s DELICIOUS Guacamole

I've really slacked off on the caption contests. My apologies. But I'm back with this GREAT picture. Thanks Jarv for taking it with your iPhone. HIS pictures are actually in focus. This is Kate. She loves her mom's guac.

Day 4: Is there anybody out there… like me?*

Today's "Build a Better Blog" task required me to analyze a top blog in my niche. My niche? Is there any other blog in the world in my niche? I was stumped. So instead, I started scanning through my friends' blogs. I heart my friends. I heart their blogs. These are some of them (in …

Just Call Me Bionic (Toe) Woman

I remember the surgery. Mostly. They did give me Versed (how mean) so I don’t remember it all. And sadly, I can’t really recall quite what my toe looked like all sliced open, but I remember some. Here’s the play by play: Walking to Foot Surgery Obviously, I couldn’t drive home after the surgery so …
