Shoot Me Now

Today we had up to 40 mph winds.  My only worry was how seriously huge my hair was getting by the end of the day.  But when I got home, I found there was a bit more to think about.  Let's see.  Insurance. Deductible. I could never afford to replace a shed. Cutting up a tree.  DEDUCTIB...

I promised more pictures of the International Market, so here is the first.  Walking into a place like this makes you realize how little we know about the many fruits and vegetables that are grown around the world.  Take a peek at the banana flowers in the picture.  These were bigg...

If you have an Asian market near you, I highly recommend you visit it with a little money in your pocket... and with an open mind.  Yesterday my mother and I went to a new "Fresh Market - International Grocery" that recently opened just a few miles away.  When I walked through the doors...

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! ...

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 ...

Yesterday, timing was everything. I had to feed my son and get him to scouts by six. I had 45 minutes for these two important tasks, including drive time.  Isn't this when the most unexpected happens?  My unexpected was an entire gallon of milk.  A gallon of milk that had fallen over...

My cousin is a nurse who lives in a normal midwestern town.  She sees children's names often.  And her stories of those children's names never cease to amaze me.  So here is my top ten list of the worst names people have named their children: 10. Babie Boi.  How can this child ever ...

Today I got myself some Botox Injections... but not where you think!  I have gastroparesis.  Simply put, my stomach does not work anymore, thus the name, "paralyzed stomach."  Long story short - if you attempt to eat, the food sits in your stomach and begins to hurt.  You feel like ...

I am a computer tech for a local hospital.  Yesterday I had a ticket for a computer in the ENT department.  It happened to be in their reading room.  On the wall was an X-Ray viewer with an X-Ray lit up.  This image was actually put on "authentic X-Ray film."  It was an unexpected mom...

Tonight my daughter asked for a bowl of ice cream and I was happy to oblige.  I don’t eat sweets during the week, but on the weekends I allow myself a little treat.  As I was scooping it for her, I took a snitch or two on the side.  Was that a hair?  No, couldn’t be.   But...
