The Countdown Begins
Posted by: LSM on: December 31, 2007
Okay, so lots of people will be counting down to 2008 tonight, but my countdown began first thing this morning. I got up around 8:45 so as to be presentable for a friend who was dropping off some party supplies for me at 9:00. I figure that gave me approximately 27 hours until our New [...]
Charlie Wilson’s War
Posted by: LSM on: December 30, 2007
All my constituents really care about are their guns and low taxes. That means I get to vote yes a lot.~Charlie Wilson
Sitting in the dark theater, just around 100 miles from the seat of Texas’ 2nd Congressional district, I had to laugh out loud at how well Charlie Wilson grasped the interests of his electorate. [...]
Home Is Where They Know Your Name
Posted by: LSM on: December 29, 2007
The “my maiden name”’s are in the house! My brother, sister, and I received this shout out from the stage as we entered the bar. The singer is a life-long friend of my brother-in-law and the sister of my own sister’s best friend growing up. The trip down memory lane continued as we watched a [...]
I Laughed; I Cried. Go See This Movie
Posted by: LSM on: December 26, 2007
Juno is the best film I’ve seen in a long time. Adventure Guy and I haven’t been on a movie date in forever, which is rare for us. He is a huge movie buff and prides himself on being up to date in his viewing, and I usually tag along for the ride. But he’s [...]
On The First Day of Christmas
Posted by: LSM on: December 25, 2007
Christmas in Suburbia does not end on the 25th. Instead we celebrate for quite some time with extended family. So, today’s account is indeed the “first.”
We have officially made the transition from Fisher Price to flatirons, as I noted this morning while perusing the Santa gifts. We are also past crack-of-dawn celebrations. This year the girls [...]

So This Is Christmas
Posted by: LSM on: December 24, 2007
I’m sure I should have some theme for the day or major point to make on this eve before Christmas, but instead I think I’ll just do the run down. And to start, my nails look fabulous! So fabulous that I’m typing very carefully so as not to chip the tips.
It helps to understand my [...]

So, I’m hanging out at a Christmas party last night hosted by a couple who went to high school with Adventure Guy. Like us, many of the party goers have children who are in their early teens. Somehow the topic of using GPS on cell phones to track the kids came up. I seemed to [...]
The Suburban Holiday Primer
Posted by: LSM on: December 21, 2007
I first saw this on Are We There Yet but I’ve included the last two questions added on over at The Family Blender.
Wrapping paper or gift bags? Mostly wrapping paper. I have an extensive collection of wrapping paper thanks to the school fundraisers for Gym Girl and Best Friend’s children. I do use gift bags on occasion. This [...]
