Alright, let’s get this out there. This post will be long. You may have noticed that for the past few weeks the posts have been lamer than usual. That’s because when something horrible happens it’s sometimes too horrible to talk about. We had bat bugs. It all began the morning that the Peperkorns came. Lloyd [...]

The worst part of my trip

The fates were against me, and the fates were cruel. The very best part of my trip to San Antonio last weekend? That there exists a place on this Earth known as Jerky World. The worst part of my trip to San Antonio last weekend? That I was not allowed to enter Jerky World. Christina [...]

Neither short nor stout

On our ride to Lincoln this afternoon, I was driving and Lloyd was reading one of his giant books. Suddenly, he looked out the windshield with a distant, serene and zen-like look on his face. Lauren: “You o.k.?” Lloyd (quietly): “I…… am no longer a little teapot.” Lauren: “*gasp!*” It’s been such a part of [...]

No good deed goes unpunished.

“Let’s go for a walk,” Lloyd said. “It will be relaxing,” Lloyd said. “We’ll take pictures of the snow for a post,” Lloyd said. So, we did. Bundled up in the super-insulated Eddie Bauer coats of yore (they’re so warm, they must be made of penguins), we took the camera outside. It’s blizzard-y, but we [...]

Good grief.

So, I caught some sort of bug, which isn’t surprising considering all the sick children I’ve been around lately. Wednesday night I watched t.v. on the couch until I fell asleep, which is actually one of my favorite things to do. All was well until 1:18. BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
