I like long walks on the beach, sunsets, puppys, and rainbows.  You didn't fall for that did you?!? Not in any particular order (to keep me out of serious trouble)!  Chocolate, wine, my kids & husband, MSU Bobcat football, classic country music,  and a long list of stuff you likely don't want to hear about.  I appreciate the opportunity to start the day with you every day on XL Country.  Thanks for listening.  And thanks for being the most important part of XL Nation!

Mommy Memos: Laser Eye Surgery

I can't see and I am loaded up on Vicodin so I am going to keep this short!  I am very glad I can't see today, because it's just me and the kids, and I know they are messing up my very clean house.  I can't wait for this next week, when my eyes get stronger and stronger.  I miss being at work, and should be back on Monday.

Mommy Memos: Eye Surgery

Colleen is about to go under the knife and she is still delivering posts for XLCountry.com.

I have had terrible vision since I was in grade school.  I've worn glasses or contacts for 30 years of my life.  I wasn't always good about wearing them and some people thought I was a jerk because they would wave and I wouldn't respond.

Need a laugh?

Have you ever had one of those days?  A friend sent me this, and I actually laughed out loud.  The video is funny enough, but the camera man's laughter makes it even better!

Puzzling

This is apparently a test they give 2nd graders in China.  I would not pass 2nd grade there.  I finally got the answer...and there is one.  At first I thought it was one of those tests that measures how long you try to find an answer, and then tells you you're an idiot

Mommy Memos

Had the BEST day at Moonlight today!  I have two sick kids, so Gracie and I headed up the mountain together.  She is just learning how to ski and we spent most of the day on Deringer.  We did go up Six Shooter once...a little scary for the little one!

I love my kids...you know that.  One of the reasons I love them so much is because they get along with each other so well.  They look out for each other and play together well.  I am not saying they are perfect.  More than once...ok, WAY more th

Girl Scout Cookie Time!

We talked about Girl Scout Cookies this morning with the cutest Brownie I have ever seen!  If you have to have your Thin Mints, Tagalongs, or whatever, but don't know a Girl Scout...click on the link below and enjoy!  I ordered 13 boxes

Back Together???

Last night, sources spotted Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal having dinner at a restaurant near Swift's Nashville condo. A patron reveals they were led back to a private table for two and seemed "cordial to one another, but not affectionate."

Hmm. Wonder what this is all about. Maybe Swifty

Mommy Memos: Quiz

I don't usually take much stock in on-line quizzes, unless I get the result I want, which I did this time!  I took the quiz, "what kind of dad is he," and "what kind of mom are you?"  The answer was balanced, and to not change a thing!

Mental Health Check

Start the New Year Off Right with a Mental Health Check. You check your blood pressure, cholesterol, and stay on top of your heart health, but as you begin the New Year, maybe you should check on your mental health.

Angelina Jolie at the Golden Globes

I admit I am not a huge Angelina Jolie fan.  That being said, she is undeniably gorgeous.  I don't think she looks as beautiful as usual.  I don't know if it's the 80's shoulder pad nightmares I still have, or the fact that it
