January – in Latin means The Endless Month of Pain

becky | January 2, 2010

Welcome to 2010!  A great year for everyone.  I promise not to hog all the goodness from this year as I did for 2009.  Sorry about that. The only problem with 2010 is January seems to be here again.  I asked Santa for one thing, only one thing the big guy had to deliver.  I simply [...]

blackout!

becky | June 19, 2009

Last night I was awoken by the deafening sound of silence. It took me a moment to figure out what was going on. Was I dead? Was I in some super calm sleep and still needed to wake up? Or did I mysteriously go deaf in the middle of the night? When I was coherent [...]

becky | December 9, 2008

Dear Winter, Hello.  We meet again.

A Day Off

becky | August 4, 2008

Today I took the day off of work because Ben didn’t have camp.  I guess even those young whipper snapper counselors deserve a day off once in awhile. Because I am who I am, I had a full day planned.  We were going to have scheduled lazy time this morning, followed by some scheduled cleaning, [...]

Here in Wisconsin we have been a little water logged as of late. I’m sure the people who’s home was washed away by Lake Delton don’t appreciate my light tone on this subject. . But I’m just blown away, again no pun intended to anyone who was caught in the recent tornadoes, by this weather. [...]

Hello Lover!

becky | May 5, 2008

Why, HELLO SPRING! You sure took your sweet time getting here but you were worth the wait! Damn girl! Check you out. Now I think you’re just showing off. Well done Spring. You are truly a class act all the way. Kind of temperamental and high maintenance at times but when you put your mind [...]
