Random Wednesday #72

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012 @ 8:45 am | Random Wednesday | By: Midwestern City Boy

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl). February 29th comes around (almost) every four years; but it still seems weird. Happy Leap Day everyone! We’re having a ferocious thunderstorm right now which is really strange for this time of year; but is much better than a ferocious snowstorm. It’s [...]

Two For Tuesday – 331

Wednesday, February 29th, 2012 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

California Girl painted her fingernails bright red this weekend, a much more noticeable color than she typically uses. We thought that it would be good to show them off in today’s Two For Tuesday post since they did stand out so much. As you can see from the photos, there was quite a contrast. Now [...]

No More Shoutbox

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012 @ 11:45 pm | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

I was looking at the sidebar on this site today and noticed that the last entry in the shoutbox was from New Year’s Day so I decided to deactivate the plug-in. It wasn’t being used enough recently to be worth the upkeep. One of the sad consequences of spam bots being smarter than people. While [...]

Empty Nest Thursday – 7

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012 @ 12:00 am | ENT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

We ordered some more stuff from Michelle this weekend; but, it hasn’t arrived yet since Monday was a holiday. Until it gets here, we’ll have to “make do” with what we have. We used to just keep plain lubricants around; but we have become BIG fans of flavored and scented products. It really does make [...]

Random Wednesday #71

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012 @ 8:20 am | Random Wednesday | By: Midwestern City Boy

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl). Unlike most years, we haven’t had much of the winter blahs. I think that’s because it’s been unseasonably warm for most of the winter. Until this year, I can’t recall ever working out outside in shorts in January or February. I’m a [...]

Two For Tuesday – 330

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012 @ 11:23 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

I got some boxing shoes today. I’ve got boxing gloves and headgear and a groin guard; but, until today, I’ve never had any shoes specifically for the ring. I never had any problems wearing my running shoes; but I learned how much difference the right equipment can make a long time ago. My footwork will [...]

Empty Nest Thursday – 6

Thursday, February 16th, 2012 @ 12:00 am | ENT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

It’s 11:30PM and I only just noticed that, for some reason, WordPress didn’t actually publish the Random Wednesday post. I had a dentist’s appointment this morning and left without checking it and I’m just now sitting down at the computer to catch up on things. It’s been that kind of a day. We’re going to [...]

Random Wednesday #70

Wednesday, February 15th, 2012 @ 9:30 am | Random Wednesday | By: Midwestern City Boy

Miscellaneous musings from the mind of Midwestern City Boy (and sometimes California Girl). We’re having connectivity issues; so I’m not sure who is actually able to read this; but, we still like to post so we have something to look back on later (when things are working more smoothly).  We know that the site comes [...]

Two For Tuesday – 329

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012 @ 11:00 pm | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

Today is Valentine’s Day and there are things that we’d much rather be doing than blogging. So here are a few photographs of MY one and only Valentine waiting for me to be done on the computer. Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.

Empty Nest Thursday – 5

Thursday, February 9th, 2012 @ 12:00 am | ENT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

I mentioned on Wednesday that I tripped on a bag that someone left by the ropes in the ring when I was sparring and twisted my ankle. Plus I got punched in the head since I dropped my guard while I was trying to keep my balance and the guy I was fighting didn’t realize [...]
