Allergies Chap My Ass

And my nose…. I HATE TEXAS ALLERGIES. Did I mention that I hate springtime in Texas?? I’m sitting here suffering so much right now a Benadryl overdose wouldn’t even help me at this point. That’s...

This Easter

Last year on the Thursday before Easter, my dad fell from a tree about 50 feet up and broke his neck. He spent Easter and the weeks after recovering from extensive surgery. The neurosurgeon said...

Lazy Sunday

Happy Sunday friends! Hope you are getting some relaxation in today. I woke up late and found myself addicted to this show “The Haunted” on the Destination America channel. That’s some creepy...

It’s Been a Year!

I just realized that I wrote my very first blog post on March 7 of last year. Dockfam Adventures is officially one year old! Happy 1st Birthday to me! cupcakes…because I love me some cupcakes

Memories of Time Gone By

Well it is Saturday and a horrible migraine woke me up during the night. I tried really hard to stay in bed and not get up (in fear of the pain that would hit me when I did) but it was going to...

A Most Embarrassing Adventure

As I sit here drinking coffee and watching a million-year old episode of CSI: Las Vegas, I thought it would be a good time to tell you about what happened on my first night in Omaha. Talk about...

A Little Bit from OMA

Well friends, this isn’t really a bounce back blog post but since the title of this email is Dockfam “Adventures” ….and I am in the midst of a trio I thought I’d pop in for a quickie. I apologize...

Back…..but not quite

Just a very short post to say that I have not dropped off the face of the earth….not yet anyway. I had to take a break from blogging to get some things taken care of in the midst of a very busy...

Muppet Monday Cancelled

How to Drive Like a Douche

Ok. I must just say it. The workday rush hour does not carry the spirit of the holidays and that fact was ever so evident yesterday as I drove home from work. You know how you can just tell someone...

Muppet Monday – Muppet Christmas Carol

Today I had to share this with you. I’m sure most of you have seen “A Muppet Christmas Carol” (and if you haven’t…where on earth have you been??) but out of all the songs on the show, this one is...

Muppet Friday?

No not exactly but I just found something on one of my favorite blogs “The Muppet Mindset” that brought the fondest of memories to mind. It is a post about the 1996 Christmas special – “The...

Muppet Monday “12 Days of Christmas”

As the holidays get closer I feel that I probably will be posting only once or twice a week until the new year. That is, as long as we are still here on Dec. 22nd! However, my Muppet Monday post is...

The Day I Saw an Angel

I’m not sure what inspired me to share this story with you today but maybe a few of you will find it interesting. Maybe a few won’t believe but that is for you to decide. Let me give you a bit of...

Fast and Easy Vegan Pumpkin Muffins

I’m sitting here watching Teen Mom and got a sudden urge to bake something. Then I remembered…I don’t have any eggs in the house. Soooo….I threw some stuff together and the result was YUM!!...

Muppet Monday

The party’s over folks…I hope you had a great Thanksgiving with your family and friends but now it’s MONDAY…..notice by the late hour I am getting this post out that it has been one of those...

Are You Thankful?

What is it about the holidays that inspires us to be more generous than the rest of the year? I must say that recently I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching and inward reflection. I consider...

Muppet Monday – A Special Video

While searching for something Thanksgiving related to share with you today, I found this clip and couldn’t resist posting it. This is from the 1987 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade — in which Jim...

What’s Up?

I don’t know about you but it’s been a little hectic in my life recently! Since i haven’t posted lately I thought I would take a minute to share with you what’s up with the Dockfam nowadays. Over...

Muppet Monday!

As the holidays approach and life gets busier and busier, my posts might be reduced to just a few a week but I promise to try and make them good! I found this video this morning that combines three...

“Arguments are a mark of our liberty”

I’m such a bad blogger…..I missed Muppet Monday and haven’t posted since the weekend. It has definitely been a crazy week and doesn’t look like it’s going to let up any time soon! Between my son’s...

Roasted Butternut Squash and Roasted Veggie Soup

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend so far! As I mentioned in an earlier post, I made some yummy recipes last weekend when it was cold outside and I hoped to share a few of them with you. The...

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween my friends! May your pumpkins be plentiful and your ghouls be ghastly!

Muppet Monday: Forget You

It’s a little late but better late than never! Over the weekend it was really chilly here in the area. When we have temperatures like that, it makes me just want to stay inside and sit by the fire....

Viva Las Vegas Part II and III

Better late than never! Day number 2 arrived and even though we got to sleep late the night before, daylight was burning so we got up early in search for coffee. The Aria has the most wonderful...

Damn You Dexter

I wasn’t going to blog today but my cousin wrote something on her Facebook wall that I thought was hilarious and I had to share. We are both fans of Showtime’s series “Dexter” — as I have mentioned...

Muppet Monday!

Ok so I lied — I’m still working on the day 2 report. But, in the meantime I thought I’d better throw in a Muppet Monday since I missed last week. I’m still in a Vegas sort of mood so I went to...

Viva Las Vegas Part I

Sorry this is so delayed, it has been a very busy time in the office since I got back from my short two-nighter in Vegas. So my mother and I left DFW early Sunday morning on an uneventful flight....

I’m Baaaaaack and I Have a Rant

First of all, I’m really sorry that it has taken me this long to get a post out since I’ve been back from Vegas. I’m still working on my trip report, complete with pics and videos so stay tuned…I...

Vegas Baby!

In approximately 48 hours I will be on a plane about to land in one of my favorite places on earth. My mother and I are taking a little girl’s trip to Vegas. I just wanted to pop in here on WP and...
