Pull Up a Christmas Carol

…albeit an unconventional one. Let me start this by saying I Brad Paisley. If I could afford it, I’d own every single one of his albums. And when he does a Christmas Album? I’m all over it. So I heard … Continue reading

Pull Up a Desk

So, I’m sitting on a hotel bed near Des Moines, Iowa as I write this. Tomorrow, I start a two-day class to learn Personal Lines Insurance (Monday) and Commercial Lines Insurance (Tuesday). Apparently, it’s two days of pretty intense learning … Continue reading

Pull Up … Something

It’s ‘turn back the clock’ weekend. I hate that they’ve moved it so far back into Fall, but whatever. I don’t know why we have to keep changing, honestly. It used to be for Farmers, but with technology they don’t … Continue reading

Pull Up Some Peace

I’m blind tired from running and getting things done, so I just wanted to see some pretty pictures that made me calm. I put “Fall Camping” in the search engine, and that picture up there showed up. Isn’t it gorgeous? … Continue reading

Pull Up a Leaf

Yeah, yeah, I know. We’re not even through August yet. But I’m already pretty stressed, and I need a long walk down a quiet path in the woods, with the leaves crunching under my feet. While I did get a … Continue reading

Pull Up a Pillow

I’m tired, y’all. This adjusting to a new schedule thing is for the birds. Don’t get me wrong, I like working… I feel all grown up and stuff. It’s amazing how getting dressed up every day puts a little more … Continue reading

Pull Up Some Lunch

Well, it’s Monday. Today’s the day I start my new job. I figured using a picture of an office lunchroom was appropriate for our Monday Chat. I have no idea what to expect. I’ve started reading the books to prepare … Continue reading

Pull Up Something Cool

yeah, bad name. Sorry. Couldn’t really think of a good one. BUT. This weekend, we took Josh and his buddy Wyatt to our local science museum. It’s tiny, but really kid-friendly. The boys had fun learning about how tornadoes form, … Continue reading

Pull up a Ring

Well, of COURSE I’m doing the Olympics!! Are you watching? I loved the Opening Ceremonies, even though I missed the first hour (this is what happens when you forget that TV stations put everything in Eastern Time! oops). I was … Continue reading

Pull Up a Booth

Some of you live in the country, like I do, and have the wonderful experience that is your local County Fair. Some are lucky enough to experience the State Fair, as well. For those of you who are not familiar … Continue reading

Pull Up a Dogsled

It’s so stinking hot, I wanted to put up something to cool us all off. Those are Siberian Huskies up there, both teams belong to my friend Jill (front sled) and her husband Karl (rear sled). Her dogs are absolutely … Continue reading

Pull Up a Beer

In honor of Sunday (yesterday) being Canada Day, I’m posting this wicked-awesome video. Some of us have already seen it, as it made the FB rounds, but it is totally worth watching again. I LOVE when music is made on … Continue reading

Pull Up an Outboard

Yep. I’m back in the great Northwoods again. If I try really hard, maybe nobody will notice and I can sneak off and steal a piece of land and just *stay* here. It’s so beautiful, and peaceful up here, I … Continue reading

Pull Up an Eclipse

Well, we tried. Josh and I had our cardboard “camera” all ready to go (that’s what he’s holding), but apparently they store the moon in MN, which is why we couldn’t see it down here in Iowa. At least that’s … Continue reading

Pull Up a Crossword

I’m writing this on the evening before Mother’s Day. My intent for tomorrow is to LOAF. Do NOTHING. I don’t even know if I’m going to make my own breakfast. I may just lay in bed and let the guys … Continue reading

Pull Up a Birdfeeder

This was such a pretty picture, I had to use it. It’s a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak, feeding at one of Joy’s stations. I chose to use it for this week’s Pull Up, because watching birds calms me. I’ve had a stressful … Continue reading

Pull Up a Fence

Oh, bloody hell. (Sorry for cussing) I just came in here and realized I forgot to put this up. See, I’m still working on stuff around the house, and today was Fencing Day. Manservant Jim came over, and he and … Continue reading

Pull Up a Pew

I might have done this one once before (yep, the permalink says “2”, which means that I did), but I’ve got church on the brain from the Communion Festivities this weekend, so I’m doing it again. I have to admit, … Continue reading

Pull Up a Compass

I’ve had my head buried in Scout Stuff all week, from planning our Pack Meeting (making May Day Baskets to leave at the low-income apartments around town) and starting our new Pack Blog, to thinking about programming for over the … Continue reading

Pull Up an Egg

Pull Up A Chainsaw

Since Laura has a manservant at her disposal this weekend, I told her I’d take over the Pull Up for today. I’ll be happy to learn all that she got done. She’ll probably be one tired Momma tonight. So what … Continue reading

Pull Up a Rake

and get MOVING, people!!! That picture? Yeah, it’s my yard. That’s what it looks like at the beginning of Spring. It’s a nasty, nasty mess. I don’t rake/clear leaves in the Fall, it’s a never-ending job, since I live in … Continue reading

Pull Up Some Ammo

Today (Sunday), I spent the day down in Cedar Rapids learning how to shoot. Ok, I kinda already knew how to shoot, but I’ve never had an actual lesson in handling, shooting, care, etc. And there’s a big shooting (mostly … Continue reading

Pull Up a Controller

A couple of years ago, a really sweet and wonderful friend gifted our family with a Wii video game system. Since that time, we’ve had lots of fun with it – yes, even my blind husband can play video games … Continue reading
