The one where I blog about Texas Roadhouse

I do love Texas Roadhouse, but it’s not someplace we eat often. Our realtor gave us a $60 gift card for closing, so we went there for my birthday a week and a half ago. We only used $40 of the gift card, so planned to go back for Scott’s birthday or something. But then [...]

Tons of fun

I normally don’t say that about my mom’s visits, but this time my brother is coming with her. That is the fun part. First, he’s bringing my birthday present which is a brand spankin’ new iPad. I’m not a huge Apple fan, but I will say that I am addicted to my iTouch (especially Words [...]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Some people talk about Christmas being the best day of the year. Others say it’s their birthday. For me, it’s baseball’s opening day. If I were in charge, it would be a national holiday.

Klassy

I’m trying to decide what to do today since it’s our last child free weekend ever. (EEK!) I’d kind of like to go to the Rockies game, but they are playing the Dodgers and I just don’t have it in me to NOT scream “MANNY’S A BITCH!” when he comes up to bat, and I [...]
