Posted by on Mar 15, 2007 in dish | 0 comments Today is DH’s birthday, so we’re having a red-blooded American male celebration. First up, one of the best things about Florida: spring training!

Ain’t It Always the Way…

Stupid Dog

Posted by on Mar 5, 2007 in dish | 0 comments The one-two combo of DD and DM (aka my mother) accidentally let the dog out last night. Dog is one part dog, two parts bullet. He is one fast sucker.
