Notes From the Trailerhood

I just couldn’t bring myself to have ’s***’ in the title of a post.  But what other song in recent pop culture has a reference to bananas?  That Gwen Stefani sure is a fabulous lyricist. 
Anyway…I recently started as a Party Lite rep. (Party anyone?)  Instead of the typical sitting around and smelling candles kind [...]

Thank you for some of the very nice comments that were posted on my vent about Peoria.com. I just wanted to let you all know that I was added today. Woo hoo!
I didn’t expect that to happen so soon…I figured I’d get in with the next round of folks. As soon as [...]

I have mentioned my sister and her sense of humor in past posts.  I just checked her MySpace page and she has pics of herself in her most recent Halloween costume, the bee from the “No Rain” by Blind Melon video.

I also added her last year’s Oompah Loompah costume for fun.

She is just too funny!

I have been a frequent reader and sometimes participant on Peoria.com forums. I have really enjoyed reading what others in the community have to say about the happenings around town. Recently things have become a little dicey on the site and there are a number of folks that have expressed their displeasure with [...]

The school’s policy is that if you are to bring invitations to school, you need to invite the [...]

My mom took Clayton shopping for his 6th birthday this week.  He decided on a hunting toy set that included a truck, a hunter in camouflage, and a couple deer.  On the way home Clayton opened the set and started checking things out.
“Grandma…where are the weapons?”
G: “I’m sure there has to be a bow & [...]

I was meeting a friend at Hardees last week. While we were visiting I heard a song that I hadn’t heard since probably high school. At the time I heard it I knew the name and the artist, but I didn’t want to be rude and bust out my planner to write it [...]

We have a new local blogger in our midst.  I don’t know if anyone has had a chance to read Tails from the River City yet, but it’s a great read.  Check it out!

Our freezer portion of our refrigerator has passed away. It keeps things at refrigerator temperatures, so we are able to keep some things in there, but ice and ice cream are a problem.
It has been coming on for a while. I’m pretty sure we were the only trailer on the block that had [...]

The second week of the month is always crazy busy for the family and me.  I already b****ed about my crappy Wal-Mart experience, so I won’t bore (or annoy) you with the rest of the sordid weekly details.  But I will say the the not-funny-at-the-time-but-gets-funnier-the-more-time-has-past moment of the week belongs to my sweet Maggie (the [...]
