Wordless Wednesday

Waaaaay Overdue

Several months ago, through my Pay It Forward post, I 'met' Shauna of Trying to Stay Calm!. Shortly thereafter, she also started the amazing Book Giveaways, which I highly recommend all readers visit. She has something there for everyone.

Last month, I won the audio book No Matter What! (Nine Steps to Living the Life You Love) by Lisa Nichols. It is an excellent 'listen', with some very sound advice and direction for developing your 'bounce-back muscles' to help you better cope with whatever life may throw at you. I think this may become a frequent flier in my loan library, as it has already made it to the CD player of a good friend of mine.

Shauna, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to win this book. It was shipped quickly, and enjoyed immensely. I look forward to participating in another giveaway soon!

To Kelly, With My Apologies

I missed Wordless Wednesday... again. And, I promised to post pictures of my tiny little garden. So Kelly, this one's for you!

It's a happy little garden:

Long, skinny green beans:

Cucumbers - some big, some small:

More summer squash trying to grow:

Baby green tomatoes:

Growing pot... I mean, in pots:

Up-and-coming eggplant:

Parsley, basil, and cilantro:

I'm hungry!

He's Feeling Much Better Now

Alas, daycare struck
Weekend wasted by fever
Kid stays home Monday

Wordless Wednesday

Points for Honesty

JJ just peeked around the side of the chair in which I was sitting and sadly proclaimed:

"Mommy, I stink... bad."

Just in the nick of time...

JJ starts daycare tomorrow morning. Today, out of nowhere, he started saying three new words: Crap, Dammit, and Sh*t


My thoughts exactly.

Happy Independence Day!

Wordless Wednesday

Hey, It Gets My Point Across

Twenty-one months was
A long unemployment stint
Thank God it's over

With Love, From Marly

For my dad, my father-in-law, my (for lack of a better term) step-father-in-law, John, and all of the other great dads I know:

Green Isn't Just a Color

Taped a show today
About a house that is green
In a lovely beige

Dinner Conversation

Marly: Is your macaroni and cheese yummy?

JJ: No.

Marly: Is it yucky?

JJ: No.

Marly: Is it so-so?

JJ: No.

Marly: Well, then what is your macaroni and cheese?

JJ: It's yellow!
