3am Saturday “Of course he has to be at the one friend’s house who lives 25 minutes away.” “Too bad this wasn’t yesterday.  I could have stopped at Old Navy for some shopping.  Everyone needs a $5 fleece.  At 3 AM.” “I better not get in an accident.  I’m not wearing a bra.” “Actually, what the hell [...]

on this Thanksgiving day…

becky | November 26, 2009

Thanksgiving is one of my top 3 favorite holidays. It’s in the fall – love fall. It’s centered all around eating – I’m a big fan of The Food. And it’s a day that is about hanging out with friends and family watching football. No gifts allowed. Therefore, as I did last year, I feel [...]

In the car on the way home: Ben: Wow, they are right! Counting cows totally works. I was just counting cows and I got super sleepy. Even yawned. Me: What? Counting what? Ben: Cows.

bringing “macho” back

becky | November 9, 2009

The other day at work, while I was listening to my Madonna radio station on Pandora, Michael Jackson’s (ya know because he and Madonna were BFF’s) “Beat It” came on. When we heard “don’t be a macho man…“  it got Josh and I talking. No one uses the word “Macho” anymore. Seriously when was the [...]
