Updates & A Fair To Remember
Yo, yo. What it is, Tappers. So, looks like I took the month of August off from the bloggy blog. Sorry ’bout that. Heck, let’s face it. You haven’t been reading anyway. You’ve been busy with summer, updating your own blogs and you know…doing your own thing. I get it. [...]
Tiny GOODHALO Excerpt & Update

I Hate Tuesdays (well, most of it anyway)
It was one of those days that sort of punched me in the snotbox and only occasionally let me up for air. I’m talking about today. Tuesday. June 23rd. 2009. Yes. Tuesday. It’s the hottest day of the year today. I woke up this morning and knew it was going [...]

5 Years, Suckas…
April 24th, 2004Mankato, Minnesota It sure as heck doesn’t seem like 5 years, but here we are at our ‘Wooden’ anniversary. Who’s idea was it to come up with a material for the anniversary gift we’re going to give each other? Seriously. What am I supposed to do? Go out [...]
Boys Night
So tonight marks the first night I’ve been left home alone with both boys. You know, all by myself. It hasn’t been so bad so far. Jake slept long enough for us to eat the pizza we ordered. Travis made another masterpiece. But the highlight? We bought a certain KC [...]
