Don’t be fooled by the sunshine. Other than one day of sun, there was rain, a touch of snow, and it was pretty cold most of the time. Thank goodness for RVs and campfires!

parenting under less than desirable circumstances

Being the coolest mom in the universe is hard work.  I’m not afraid to get down on the floor and play Super Princess Puppy Fun Time, or to pick pieces of play-dough out of every corner of the dining room after a two hour session of the Fuzzy Barber Shop Diaries.
But I don’t do worms.  […]

yay!

I hope your weekend was as good as mine.  First hoop jam of the year, and the weather was even better than I expected - and the turnout was fantastic.

how I spent my hawaiian vacation

We’ve just gotten home from a two-week cruise with the whole famn damily, and I’m pretending that there isn’t a ginormous pile of laundry stretched from one end of the living room to the other.  I took a lot of pictures, of course, but I’ve been flipping through them, and I’m not super impressed so […]

hula hoop collection

This is only a fraction of the collection I’ve amassed (although 3 in this picture are for other people).  I think I have a problem.

I had a hard time parting with that purple one today.  It was for a coworker’s daughter.   The one in the back row - the green-on-green hoop, is my first.  […]

growing up star wars

As a kid, I was completely and totally in love with Mark Hamel’s Luke Skywalker character from Star Wars.  I thought Princess Leia’s buns really were made out of cinamon rolls.  I cried when that little Ewok died during Return of the Jedi.  And that’s why I find it kind of sad that I don’t […]

un-professional

There is a growing and troublesome epidemic of people who are buying digital cameras and announcing, “ZOMG, I am going to be a professional photographer! “
Just because you start a blog entitled Joe Blow Photography…does not make you a professional photographer.  I could call myself Snowzilla, Esquire, but that doesn’t mean crap. 
 Just because you […]

grrr, arrrr

 
Where have I been for the past few days?  Well, as you can see, I was almost Mr. Bear Food.  More pictures of our houseboating adventures to come later.
