Two For Tuesday – 36

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006 @ 9:00 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

Despite not having the best of days, California Girl and I did mange to find time for our HNT photo session on Tuesday night. And our Two For Tuesday “after party”. Since I was worn out from working in the yard and then going for a nighttime run, California Girl did all of the work. [...]

Had A Bad Day

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006 @ 2:38 am | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

I have a rule against cutting the grass or any sort of regular chore that takes more than a few minutes when I am on vacation. I would much rather spend time with the family. So, today, I really needed to cut the grass. I got out of work pretty much on time. Went home. [...]

Days Like This Don’t Happen Too Often

Monday, May 29th, 2006 @ 5:16 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

After The Girl’s 8th grade graduation ceremony and receptions was concluded, we all came home and got in the pool. Just California Girl, The Boy, The Girl and me. Usually it’s just the adults or there are other kids in addition to ours. So it was good for just the four of us to enjoy [...]

Class Of 2006

Sunday, May 28th, 2006 @ 10:38 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

The Girl had her 8th grade graduation mass today. For some peculiar reason, she still has a few days of school next week. I wonder what they would do if someone failed a critical test or misbehaved in major way. The Girl had a soccer game right beforehand and barely had time for a quick [...]

The Trouble With Girls

Friday, May 26th, 2006 @ 7:47 pm | Kids/Family | By: Midwestern City Boy

As California Girl pointed out in yesterday’s post, The Girl has been guest playing in a lot of soccer games for the past few weeks. Some of the other girls on her regular soccer team are not happy that she’s playing so much with others. I think that it’s good that she’s been getting the [...]

Warming Up the Pool

Thursday, May 25th, 2006 @ 3:12 pm | General, Kids/Family | By: California Girl

I went outside earlier today and turned on the pool heater to get the pool warmed up and ready for Memorial Day weekend. The weather has turned summery, the water is clear and looks oh so inviting, but we won’t be able to get in the pool today because The Girl has a soccer game [...]

HNT – 40

Thursday, May 25th, 2006 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

California Girl and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversary. We have been together for a long time and hope to celebrate many more special days together. Even though lasts week’s theme was the anniversary of HNT, our theme for this week is celebrating our anniversary. So, we decided to take a simple photograph of us [...]

Two For Tuesday – 35

Its actually Wednesday evening but I wanted to post anyways. This photo is from Tuesday before I “turned into a zombie”. Life has been busy for us (especially me) but we still want to stop and take time for the things we enjoy. Our HNT photo session and the Two For Tuesday photos which we [...]

Marking My Territory

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006 @ 9:50 pm | Him | By: Midwestern City Boy

California Girl has a rash on her left hand that makes it uncomfortable to wear her rings. She can wear them for short periods of time without too much difficulty but, for the past week or so, she has been unable to wear them all of the time like she usually does. I know that [...]
