Is Tilly a boys name?

Posted Wednesday, July 22, 2009 1:31 PM

It is for the frogs. One is Johnny and one is Tilly but the girls refer to Tilly as "he". They decided Tilly can be a boy or girls name. Of course we have no idea what the frogs are (boys or girls) but it was funny to me. DH and FIL fixed one of the gutters

I love my husband

Posted Tuesday, July 14, 2009 9:07 AM

My DH is not the romantic/sentimental type. I knew this before we got married and I know it now. Yes he buys me presents for my birthday and flowers on valentines day but I will never come home to a candle lit dinner for two. It is just not his thing.

I don't like work but lately I need it...

Posted Monday, July 13, 2009 9:58 AM

Posted Thursday, July 02, 2009 7:32 AM

It is funny how people do change with age. I noticed a few things lately that never bothered me before but now that I am older it drives me crazy: - Birthday shout outs on the radio. I change the channel as fast as I can - People driving way too fast.
