Stinker, Tailor, Soldier, Why?

Posted on February 27, 2013 by larva225

Felix is my stinky little buddy.  People speak about how boys are messy and watch out for their pee during diaper changes. I scoffed at that.  I even made fun of the Pee-Pee Tee-Pee and had Dora wear it as … Continue reading →

At Last (Day)

Posted on February 14, 2013 by larva225

So yesterday wasn’t the best day.  I really wanted it to be.  Not that anything was happening.  I was telecommuting and am not really able to get out and about much, anyway.  Still, it was my last day at home for who … Continue reading →

Damn the Doritos…Full Steam Ahead!

Posted on February 13, 2013 by larva225

Yesterday was Mardi gras, or “fat Tuesday” for those of y’all not in the know.  This post seems so appropriate in that light. Today is Mercredi gras, or “fat Wednesday.”  Tomorrow will be “Jeudi gras.”  And fortunately for me, the … Continue reading →

Oh Say Can You Three?

Posted on February 11, 2013 by larva225

I got my wish Saturday and we took Stella to the zoo as our final family outing just the 3 of us.  We have an annual membership to our local zoo, so we go fairly often.  Still, we hadn’t gone for a … Continue reading →
