Published on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 by Katherine Just a few recent pix from my Blackberry! A local gas station. This place is NOT owned by Americans.... (Funny thing is, it was the same way on both sides of the sign!) A bathroom at work. Nothing says "family at work" like Personal Washcloths, Oust and Hemorrhoid Cream! This is a Dog Face fish, which is actually a type of Puffer Fish.  It was in a pet shop....

Published on Wednesday, December 2, 2009 by Katherine In the 80’s, I used to have black stretch pants, black spiked heels and big hair.  I had no wrinkles, no stretch marks and I drove a really cool car-seat-less sports car.  I loved me some blue iced tea and danced without abandon to “Melt with You.” Today, I am officially 44 years old.  It is a day after my birthday and I am missing work because I have two ...

Published on Sunday, November 15, 2009 by Katherine Today I woke up to something completely unfamiliar.  It took me a few minutes to figure out what that strange sensation was.  I scrunched up my eyes as the fog began to leave my brain.  Slowly, I carefully opened one just a tiny bit.  What the…?   I ventured to open it all the way.  And then the other. For what I saw was an amazing and unusual sight.  It ...

Published on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 by Katherine A working mom with Stay-At-Home-Dreams – that’s me.  But I’m grateful that even though I have to clock in every day, work is not always the same old routine. Case in fact:  Larry and Kyle.  I’ve talked about these guys before.  They are Abbott and Costello reincarnated. Larry: “Who’s on first,” Kyle: “Yes.” Larry: “I mean the fellow...

Published on Sunday, November 8, 2009 by Katherine I’m tired.  Very very tired.  This weekend we had to work on Sunday.  Six day work week – woo hoo! You know what?  When you work on Sunday, it pretty much wrecks the whole weekend.  Friday night is your “one night to stay up,” but you are so tired it just doesn’t spell p-a-r-t-y.  Saturday you chill a bit and then start the grocery shopping and bath...

Published on Thursday, November 5, 2009 by Katherine Welcome to a typical day in the life of Katherine. Exhibit one: Driving from 7-11 back to work, I pick up my coffee refill cup for a swig of the delicious dark mountain roast mixed with pumpkin spice.  As I raise my cup, a string of hot and gooey gum forms from underneath, stretching up across the car’s upholstery, then over and across my thigh, finally thi...

Published on Thursday, September 24, 2009 by Katherine Anything that has the word “PUSS” in it can’t be good, right?  Check out the “cute little caterpillar” my daughter found in the yard today.  Thank HEAVEN’S she didn’t touch it!  Read more on Agoosa about our experience with the Puss Caterpillar....

Published on Wednesday, August 5, 2009 by Katherine In my eyes, there is nothing better than a poorly translated or poorly placed sign.  I received this picture from my brother in Colorado.  And yes, I asked - it is REAL and he took it.  I love this picture almost as much as I love my brother! Here is what he wrote as a caption for the picture: "Uh, Ma'am, I'm sorry to tell you that Fluffy did not make it.  We ...

Published on Sunday, March 29, 2009 by Katherine I stumbled into the living room this morning to find the kids had made a ginormous fort to sleep in.  This must have been constructed at, hmmm, about 1:30 a.m.?  But guess who made it?  Not my little one… not my middle school son… but the two teenagers!  And the little angels were asleep inside. Awww how cute!       ...

Published on Friday, February 27, 2009 by Katherine This was my first view coming into work today.  Three portable toilets flying through the air.  One would hope they checked for occupancy before sending them sailing.  And pity the poor guy who drives underneath them! Today is going to be a GOOD DAY.  After all, I saw flying toilets! ...

Published on Tuesday, February 3, 2009 by Katherine My brother recently took this picture in his hometown, Denver, CO. I didn’t realize curds were so heavenly. I better try some.. after all, Jesus sent them! ...

Published on Saturday, January 31, 2009 by Katherine This is the stuff I live for. Zombies are attacking Austin, Texas. Or at least that is what two road signs declared during a busy morning commute. Apparently, hackers managed to cut the padlocks on the signs and program this warning about zombies attacking. For anyone who has seen I AM LEGEND, I'm sure they glanced nervously to their right, expecting a zombie ...
