1. I've met a lot of people, but never met an umpire for professional baseball. I've also never met an air marshal. Maybe neither are allowed to discuss their professions with lay people. Maybe I just need to get out more.
2. Do me a favor, don't buy the girls balloons. Balloons that are already inflated are mildly acceptable. The others just create a circus of latex chaos.
3. If I had three wishes one of them would be for snow.
4. Minnesota mosquitoes are usually witty & excellent swatting evaders. Not this year. It seems the heat is even slowing these guys down.
5. The two years I spent isolated & alone with the girls in our house in Florida I wondered if we were ever going to be out in the real world enjoying ourselves. This summer we're making up for lost time.
6. I like roasted hot dogs on the fire.
7. I had one beer last night at the Twins game. I'm not usually a fan of consuming a malted beverage in such sweltering conditions, but it really helped to dull the pain. This morning I needed two Tylenol to combat the effects of last night's drinking spree. I'm getting so old!
8. Why is it that I can only find Canadian Bacon Party Pizzas in Minnesota? And why is it that they are about a third of their original size?!
9. I really thought Abby had the crossword puzzle thing down. To each her own, I guess. Any guesses on which word Abby found?
10. People thought we were strange when we dipped bacon in chocolate. I have to admit, I never would have thought of it myself, but it was oddly delicious. Yesterday I saw a recipe for a peanut butter cookie with chocolate & bacon. I'm not sure I'd be so tempted to try it if they weren't raving about it on Twin Cities Live: {http://twincitieslive.com/article/stories/s2203500.shtml?cat=10931}. Good luck with your entry at the Minnesota State Fair this year, Alice!
Life with these two is never dull. This blog is dedicated to the stories that make life with my lovelies, Abby & Lauren, a thrill to live.

{About Me}
- brookie
- Fairborn, Ohio, United States
- I'm a teacher by trade, writer at heart & mom in every sense of my being. I never considered writing as a profession, but after I got married and began moving around the country, I began sharing my adventures, misadventures & updates through a sort of e-mail newsletter. I found a true passion in unconventional story-telling that has followed me into motherhood.
