Published on Wednesday, November 2, 2011 by Katherine Video fails.  How is it that people have a camera at the ready when something is about to go seriously wrong?  Crotch hits, trampoline falls and cats slamming in to walls.  What is the secret to shooting these so effortlessly? Now.  Imagine my anguish when I found myself behind a moving truck jammed with boxes, doors actively flying in the wind.  If only I had...

Published on Monday, October 17, 2011 by Katherine It might have been the roof rats that came by our house last week.  Or perhaps it was my new pasta recipe.  Or a shampoo just recently purchased? Either way, things are bad over here.  Very... Very… VERY BAD.  I’m afraid we have been…. ZOMBIFIED. If you want to zombie your own family you can have me over to cook or you can download the free Zombi...

Published on Sunday, September 25, 2011 by Katherine Shepherd Lab, a Pug and a stepping stool.  That is how my neighbor’s dog came to be.  Meena is a fascinating mix in which her mother was the Lab while the Pug was the dad.  Think about it and you will understand the stepping stool! When we were dog sitting this weekend, my daughter showed me Meena's latest trick.  I couldn't stop laughing.  While my dog is eat...

Published on Wednesday, July 13, 2011 by Katherine You might recall my December declaration of love for one of the most amazing men I have ever laid eyes on.  I’m afraid I have shocking news for you.  SOMEONE IS MAKING FUN OF MY MAN! You can just imagine my horror when my son showed me this Lord of the Rings Youtube video.  MY MAN.  MADE FUN OF.  ON THE INTERNET. Oh the horror. OK, I’ll admit it. ...

Published on Monday, March 14, 2011 by Katherine When I went on the slide myself, I did not just get a few pops, but a huge shock up my leg that caused my heart to flutter!  Of course, my target is a wee bit bigger than hers...  Oh Snap! ...

Published on Monday, February 21, 2011 by Katherine One of my guys has been playing indoor soccer this winter at the Virginia Beach Field House.  When we first entered the field house I was completely blown away.  There were kids of all ages playing basketball, soccer and volleyball, all in the same building.  Moreover, there were men of all ages playing indoor flag football – something I did not even know existed...

Published on Sunday, February 6, 2011 by Katherine I came across this arcade game at a local sports complex.  The Titanic.  Complete with sinking ship. As the Titanic passengers were drowning, I’m sure they were not imagining the new arcade game that could come out of the unfortunate situation. What will be out there 100 years from now?  I can picture a few things in the middle of that game, but I am NOT ...

Published on Saturday, January 15, 2011 by Katherine From My Point of View: “Look kids, there is something moving on the back of that van!  What in the world is it?  There is a light on it too.  Wait, there is a stoplight coming up – grab my camera so I can take a video.  Maybe I can blog about it!” From Their Point of View: “Honey, what is that bright light behind us?  Why is that lady hanging out of ...
