Published on Wednesday, November 3, 2010 by Katherine I’ve held off on this post for a few months.  One of those, “I can’t believe this is happening so I just can’t write about it yet” things.  But the flights are booked, the room is paid and (drum roll please!) I AM GOING TO LAS VEGAS!!!  MONDAY! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! And oh the guilt the guilt the guilt.  I am not allowed to go away from my children.�...

Published on Wednesday, October 20, 2010 by Katherine Halloween and Fourth of July?  No problem! You can sneak things in to the house and your dog will never know. The sound of the refrigerator?  No problem! You find yourself being silent around ALL animals. NOTHING goes undetected by your dog’s bionic sniffer. Loose dog following behind you?  No problem! Dogs barking from across the street?  No prob...

Published on Saturday, October 9, 2010 by Katherine Left at a pound by someone who spoke no English.  The language barrier kept staff from knowing this poor dog’s story.  Why was she left there?  What could have happened? Fortunately the staff realized this sweet girl was deaf.  Perhaps her first owner thought she just wouldn’t listen?  Wouldn’t be good no matter what he did?  His loss, my gain. Today...

Published on Saturday, September 25, 2010 by Katherine Ah yes, Captain George’s Seafood Restaurant.  Home of the bountiful seafood buffet.  Rows of things with shells, pincers and claws. And the best part about it?  After you are done eating, you can play with your food. MUTANT BATTLE CRAWFISH I WILL DEVOUR YOUR SOUL THERE HAS GOT TO BE A GOOD CAPTION FOR WHAT THAT GUY'S THINKING What do you think he i...

Published on Tuesday, August 3, 2010 by Katherine First of all, be sure to enter the $100 giveaway on my review site, Agoosa! The hair is standing up on my arms.  Not because I have a German background, either.  Well, partly I guess.  But mostly because I have taken my first GHOSTLY PICTURE.  FOR REAL! This week I was able to ride shotgun to a distant city that is home to battlefields, historical buildings an...

Published on Monday, August 2, 2010 by Katherine JELLY! So much beach and so little swimming.  First it was the ice cold water.  Then the crabs.  And this week?  Jelly Fish.  I am talking watch where you step or you will be zapped kind of jelly fish. This weekend I played tip toe through the jellies on the beach.  The one time I ventured in to the water I played Dodge the Jelly Fish.  Fortunately I won....

Published on Tuesday, July 20, 2010 by Katherine This week I am happy to be the featured Blog Trotter!  Bloggers from all over the world have given fun tours of their hometowns on Blog Trotting, so be sure to visit their site for some great local information and photos. My hometown?  Being from a Navy family, I’ve got many.  But we are now deeply rooted in the Hampton Roads Community in Virginia.  I live...

Published on Wednesday, July 7, 2010 by Katherine Bubble Bubble Toil and Trouble!  That was me with my witchy friend last night, brewing up some money potion.  Alright, so we didn't really say Bubble Bubble, but I did have to repeat a poem three times.  COOL. Many years ago I met this amazing woman who would frustrate even the strongest of missionaries.  You can feel the heat off of her hands, she talks abou...

Published on Saturday, July 3, 2010 by Katherine We are back, for better or worse. In the seven days we were at the beach house we could only swim TWO DAYS.  After these two glorious days, the wind came offshore which dropped the ocean temperature TWENTY DEGREES.  Try putting anything but your toes in 53 degree water and YOWSA!  The day the water warmed up we couldn’t swim due to thunder storms.  THEN ...

Published on Thursday, June 10, 2010 by Katherine Lately I’ve heard many radio stations participate in a “Does That Make Me Crazy” hour.  People call in and reveal something they do that others say is crazy.  They play the Crazy song and decide if this person is indeed bonkers. Today callers admitted to the following behaviors: Picking pebbles out of the car tires because the person “hears” them ...

Published on Tuesday, June 8, 2010 by Katherine I’m back!  Did you miss me, because I sure missed you!  No internet this weekend – the beach house totally unplugged.  I cheated a little bit tweeting from my phone, but other than that it was complete (and much needed) downtime. What a different beach house weekend, too.  My daughter had her first friend there, my middle son didn’t come and my mother w...

Published on Friday, June 4, 2010 by Katherine First of all, a shout out to my nephew Tommy and all the family who visited this week. I love you all and can't wait to see you again soon!  You can visit Tommy's cooking blog at Cook Up Fun! Before you begin reading, hit PLAY and crank it up! <raising hand with great excitement!> How many of you screamed out this song on your last day of school?  &l...
