Hooray For Dads!


Dear Daddy,
Not the best shot of you but you don't exactly look at the camera a lot. You know I can never properly express to you what it means to have you for a father. I never lack for love, laughter and a swift needed kick in the ass when I'm with you. I am so proud to be your kid and even more so to be a Daddy's Girl. Thank you for not spoiling me and letting me make my own mistakes no matter how big you knew they would be. Thank you for teaching me to be my own person and nevermind what the idiots out there think. Thank you for showing me that I don't need to take shit from anyone and it's ok to be a bitch sometimes and stand up for myself (not that I'm saying you're a bitch sometimes cause, well, I'm not). Thank you most of all for loving me, for all of my oddball eccentricities (that we all know came from YOUR side of the family! Go Grampa K!). I love you Daddy. Have a great day!



Dear Papa,
I know you don't celebrate Father's Day but.......Thank you for raising a great son. I am so lucky to have him as my husband and what a fabulous father to our kids. You are so great with Monkey Boy and Peanut. They love you so much and I cannot thank you enough for all that you do with them and for them. It means so much to us. Even though we don't see eye to eye on some things, ok, a lot of things, we still get along better than most people with in laws. Thanks for being there when I needed a dad and mine was too far away. Thanks for listening. I know you think I'm joking when I say it but I really do love you Papa. Thanks.

To My Husband,
Wow! Two kids? How the hell did we get to here? You are such an amazing father to our children. Your patience with Monkey Boy should get you a sainthood at the very least. Peanut adores you to no end and she's sure to be a Daddy's Girl as she gets older. You play with the kids and interact with them in ways I only dreamed of when I thought what my future husband would be like with our kids. Thank you for blessing me with a beautiful, loving family. I couldn't ask for anything more. Well, I can think of a couple things but I won't mention them here. I love you honey. Happy Father's Day!


Happy Father's Day to these important people in our lives:

Papa H in the DL - We love you and hopefully can get up there with the kids soon!
Peej - You're an amazing father to Naya! She's a great girl!
All of our uncles and dad cousins (there are waaaaaaaaaaaay too many of you to name and chances are, none of you read this though HB's wife does. HI PAMI!) We hope you all have a great day! Thanks for being great dads!

I want to also say that we'll be thinking of my Grampa K, Grampa T, the husband's Grampa R and my uncles Roger and Neil. Though they are no longer with us, their legacies live on in their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They are missed every day. We love you guys! Now keep it down up there! Save some of the party for us!

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads, Daddys, Papas, Grampas and Great Grampas out there!

That was very touching. I hope your husband had a great Fathers Day.

BTW. I love your husband's "hair-do". I think we have the same stylist.

I Can't Wait

I know of no one who agrees with me that Jason Mewes is hot. This is a bad example and this is definately NOT hot. That's ok though. I remember the good, forget the bad. I make no excuses for my taste*. For fans of Clerks , Chasing Amy , Dogma , Jay and Silent Bob , etc , check it out: P.S. I've been working 'til 11 or midnight most nights so I'm pooped. I'll blog more. I promise. Was I missed though? * Or lack thereof to some people

This, That and The Other

I can already tell that Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to suck ass even more than it normally would at my job. Last night, a guy was telling me how much he gave me, how much he was supposed to get back and THEN told me what order to give it back to him in. Um? Sir? I'm not a twit, ok, I am a twit, but I'm not an idiot. Ok, sometimes I can be. Like that time I moved up to Wisconsin in the middle of a blizzard from nice, warm Tucson, AZ for a dumb boy and we broke up less than two months later. Yeah that sucked but my point is: I've been in retail, just about every job one could have except store manager, for about oh, 19 years. I think I know what I'm doing when it comes to giving change back. Don't talk to me like I'm a 16 yr old kid who's working his first job and doesn't give a shit what kind of work ethic he has. I care about you as a customer but when you're a dick to me and pissing off everyone in my line so they are dicks to me ? Well, ...

This Has To Be Said

I haven't blogged in 8 months. We bought a house, still unpacking, school started. You know, life. I felt the need, the urgent need to blog about the Adrian Peterson situation today. I am full of all sorts of feelings and had to write about it. I would love to hear your thoughts on this whole thing. No really, I would. I don't feel I was a douchebag in my writing so all I ask is you not be a douchebag in your response. Thanks. My thoughts on the Adrian Peterson situation (but first, some backstory): I was spanked as a child. I'm pretty sure most of us that grew up in the 80s were. Until the summer between 5th and 6th grade I lived in Charelston, SC and from 6th to 11th grade, North Chicaco, IL. I have seen every form of discipline doled out on a child. I've seen spankings, beatings, hairbrushes smacked into heads, spoons hitting the tops of heads, whips, belts and even switches. I've seen it all. Most of you know that my son is named after a little boy who ...
