Shoot Me Now

While sitting on the shores of Crane Lake at Suffolk’s Lone Star Lakes, it is hard to believe the ocean’s salty water once covered the area.  The story is almost unbelievable. Thirty-five million years ago, a two-mile-wide asteroid plummeted to the earth.  Its impact caused a series...

Mine, hands down, came from my brother.  It was unique.  It was personal.  It was well thought out.  It was COOL. Imagine pulling one of these things at a time out of a box.  Above?  Catnip, lemon balm and chamomile for infusions.  I also got two tea dippers, one for me and one f...

Have you ever looked over one of your receipts and thought, “HUH?!” I sometimes wonder who creates receipt abbreviations.  Imagine the power.  You have the license to be creative in a format that most won’t read.  The world is your abbreviated oyster. The writer of this particul...

And a knife.  For real. I’m not sure how we got back in to fishing.  It’s probably due to my older son’s love for the sport.  Towards the end of the summer, we began to surf fish in Corolla, and it has done nothing but escalate from there. Would I begin a fishing spree i...

I got it.  I actually GOT IT!  I got a picture of the Reindeer Truck! For two weeks, I have seen this truck driving through our area.  But I’ve never been near enough to take a picture.  I see him ahead and he turns.  He closes in behind me and stops at a light.  Indeed, this myst...

You have spent so much on your Itocuh, it only makes sense to give it the proper protection! ...

It all started innocently enough.  I woke up and began my birthday by driving the kids to school and going to work.  After work, I got the kids back home and decided to do something completely crazy for myself on my special day.  I decided to go to the gym. Perhaps this is where I made...

I was the type that would never step on an ant.  I still won’t.  I rescue any critter that flies or crawls in to my house, and attempt to save neighborhood animals I find in need.  As a child, fishing with my parents always led to me whining, “Ohhhhhh… poor fishie!”  And rescue...

First of all, I miss everyone!  School, BAH.  I have no time at night to get things done, much less enjoy my favorite blogs.  I’m hoping this long weekend will let me indulge.  I can’t wait to see what you are writing about! Speaking of indulgence, I was blessed to have some bea...

For some, saying the F-Word means nothing more than saying, “Darn!” “Dang” or “Holy Cow!”  What the EFF!?  Holy EFF!  I’m EFFING hungry!  What they EFF are you DOING HERE!?  As a matter of fact, some of my very favorite bloggers use the word on a regular basis.  For the...

While packing up the car this weekend, I noticed a little feedback had been left on my back windshield regarding my parenting skills: Funny thing about feedback?  Sometimes the person giving it thinks twice and decides to soften the blow just a tiny bit.  This was apparently the case,...

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 mo...
