There Will Be Pumpkins, Mums & Chicks

Alex and his be-otches from lawless Columbus at the

Pumpkin Patch in Watertown, WI

Friends Since Fifth Grade

From a recent girl's weekend in Minneapolis. Thanks for sending this Becsee. We look cute but I have one question; why didn't one of you tell me I had that much f-ing blush on? I miss you and will see you in a couple of weeks.

My Love Bug

Do Bloggers Give Autographs?

Ladies and Gentleman, I have hit the big time. I now have my very own editor for this blog and I couldn't be more thrilled.

My good friend Andy has agreed to check my spelling and grammar since he found two, yes two spelling errors on my site today. One of which included my sentence asking readers to "please forgive my spelling and my grammer" (grammar).

This is all happening so quickly.

How do I plan to celebrate?

I might go bowling and then grab a yogurt.

Not the Non-Nude

Andy, this one's for you. I know how much you love the cut-off jeans with the pockets hanging out. While I know you prefer them on men, I thought this might give you an early start on Christmas ideas for Karen.

A brief list of things I wish had existed or I would have know about when I was 18 years old. Part of me thinks that these items might have changed my life in some small way.

Last night, I walked into our bedroom and Bill was watching the Packers/Seahawks game. I noticed the score and went on to have this conversation with him:

"How do the Seahawks have 19 points?"

"They scored three field goals, a touchdown, and another field goal."

LONG PAUSE

"Why didn't you just say they scored four field goals and a touchdown?"

"Because that's not the order it happened."

Girl (NOT) Interrupted

How do you tell someone in your family that while their girlfriend is sort of cute, that new short, short haircut you suggested she get because you thought it would look hot is not flattering at all?

Would it be too harsh if I said this:

I know you like Winona Ryder (circa 1990’s) and all but that girl is no Winona Ryder!

Sorry, somebody has got to do it.
