Wednesday, April 11, 2012 Easter – a time where most families gather around a sugar-cured ham, and various mouthwatering foods to share some wine and discuss what the hell to do with the 8 million dyed, hard-boiled eggs. In my family, we have another tradition. The traditional Duck Farts. What is a Duck Fart? Well,…
Wednesday, February 15, 2012 My one and only trophy, 1992 Women’s Winter League, 2nd Place Our mantle is bursting with trophies. Oh, not mine. My kids have trophies, medals, etc. My husband even has a bunch in the basement – and that was back in the day before everyone got a trophy. But I only…
Wednesday, January 04, 2012 I bet you can guess what my New Year’s Resolution is! Yeah, it’s kind of obvious. Anyway, just before New Year’s, Mr. Assassin and I joined a gym! I know, right? So Tuesday, I came home from work, changed my clothes (aka squish into exercise bra and hunt for a pair…
Wednesday, December 21, 2011 It’s just a few days until Christmas. Is my shopping done? No. Am I at all organized? Not really. Does it bother me? Meh. I can wing it. I’ve never really been one of those people who gets worked up over the holidays. Maybe it’s my low blood pressure…perhaps it’s my…
Wednesday, November 23, 2011 Disclaimer – the following photos are not for the faint of heart. As you can see, the gray is really growing in fast. I knew y’all’d want an update. Not bad, right? At some point, I’m going to have to cut the red out. Jana made me promise I wouldn’t let…

Wednesday, September 28, 2011 Had an AWESOME time with Killer Kathy Bachus in Montezuma for the All Iowa Writer’s Conference. Her presentation was great and she was so organized! She made sense compared to my rambling like a lunatic (something I tend to do too often). I think I even acted out the scene where…
Todd was Tom’s Stand-in for Jack’s Pinewood Derby When Tom Was In Iraq. Wednesday, August 31, 2011 So, my pal, Todd Welvaert goes black powder shooting with my husband and kids. And this was his post on Facebook: “Shot a .50 caliber black powder flintlock rifle for the first time. I would encourage anyone who…
Wednesday, August 17, 2011 This is my son. And our kitten. Some of you have seen this before on my facebook page. Anyway, I was unloading groceries and turned around to see this on the stairs. He also created this: He’s 11 years old. And he may be funnier than I am. And smarter –…
Wednesday, August 03, 2011 It’s hot. I’m hot. My basset looks like he’s melted onto the kitchen floor. My kids haven’t left the house in weeks – and I’m terrified to walk outside with eggs. You can’t buy milkshakes in this weather – even at a drive-thru. The second that shake hits the air, it…
