Yup - We’re Still Here!
Yup - the Boedies are still here It’s been a while since I updated my little blog here. Since last week I have . . .
. . . written “For Deposit Only Girl Scouts of Colorado #############” on the back of approximately 50 checks for cookies. I’ve also written our service unit number and [...]
Constructive Criticism
I’m annoyed. I’m all for someone telling me that my stuff isn’t right. I always acknowledge their position and welcome any suggestions.
What I can’t STAND is when someone gets all worked up about something and gets all righteous. Without details, yesterday someone suggested that maybe I hadn’t chosen the best way to do something. I [...]
Do You Share?
I used to think that I was good at sharing - until I started talking to my friends. Apparently they share much more than I do.
Do you share . . .
a bathroom with our husband? Hell no! The key to a happy marriage is separate bathrooms We have an older home that has a [...]
Spare Tire
I love my Highlander, but seriously - all the new gadgets and stuff they put in cars now to make you “safer” is just ridiculous, and quite frnakly, really annoying.
For example - I put my backpack with only my laptop in it on the passenger seat. The friggin’ seatbelt light starts flashing and beeping every [...]

Flu Shots and Stickers
An email and giggle from my Mom . . .
On Wednesday I went to the clinic to get my H1N1 shot. The clinic had a room set up where all they did was give these shots by appointment. When I arrived there was nobody else in there but right after I got there a woman came [...]
Lesson Learned
Princess is finally feeling the pain and realizing the lesson she’s learned.
So we went to Texas for Turkey Week to visit some dear friends who moved there in June. When on the airplane, we usually sit two and two - Dude and Dad, Princess and Mom. For some reason on the way home, we had [...]
$1700 Later - Again
So ya - the garage door broke yesterday. It’s always sagged a bit in the middle - OK, a lot - like enough that my step-dad who is over 6′ tall can’t walk through the middle or he hits his head. Enough so that we couldn’t drive the Jeep or Highlander in the garage in [...]
