About Amanda Broyles

Amanda is amazing. Amanda is spectacular. Amanda is humble. Amanda is also a full time college student so take pity on her and don't complain when her TV reviews aren't up immediately following an episode.

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, my god it’s a zucchini!

Picture it: my backyard, two days ago. I’d taken Bronco out to pee and check on my garden to see how things were progressing.  I’ve had numerous baby zucchini and strawberries, quite a bit of lettuce, and even some broccoli. … Continue reading

See even David Beckham can’t help himself.

Now I’m obviously not in the same bed (Freudian slip) league as David Beckham but I can understand that “but it’s feeling better so I’m just going to test the boundaries a bit” feeling. I will say that it is amazing … Continue reading

Being a sports fan,

I love almost all sports.  Minus the NBA- that is like watching paint dry. So you can imagine how great this year has been so far; Alabama- National Championship, then the Olympics, then baseball (thankfully the Cardinals ended up winning … Continue reading

Introducing….

Our new car! In case you hadn’t heard (don’t know what rock you live under), the Matrix has died.  She served us well and put up a valiant fight right until the end.  I shall always miss her. Enough about … Continue reading

This made me laugh

On the U.S. Army flickr page they posted this yesterday. He’s wearing them to protect his eyes from the crap blowing around while a Chinook takes off/lands.  I think they look rather snazzy.

This Ugly House; and some other things

Before I get to the house, I must lament over the abysmal last couple of weeks the Cardinals are having.  When the Astros have their way with you, things are bad. But at last night’s Civil War Game at least they … Continue reading

and other quirks

As the title implies- I have many quirks. I thought of one as I was unloading the dishwasher this evening. I can not use “normal” sized forks and spoons. I always use the smaller fork and spoon.  I guess it’s … Continue reading

Another kick ass couch option

No literally- kick ass. See that red part?  It flips up to become a punching bag! So cool. Unfortunately it’s from some Italian designer which means it will be grossly overpriced.  Those damn Italians put a button on some fabric … Continue reading

Random things in the mail

So while I was stuck in bed with my foot (which is doing better btw) I filled about numerous “click here and win a prize” forms and surveys.  They were a great way to kill time. Never did I think … Continue reading

This Ugly House, and other random updates

Oh This Ugly House! Well we got the fence built, which is a feat in and of itself. And wouldn’t you know that it isn’t even a week old and the dogs already escaped.  Turns out that MrBunny was not … Continue reading

Dear Farm Bureau;

Screw you and your “membership dues”. What exactly am I paying $25 for? Good customer service?  Hardly.  Prompt action on claim requests?  Give me a break. The privilege of  paying you more money to insure my home?  How on earth does this … Continue reading

Buy stock in Neosporin

Seriously. You will thank me. I just used an entire tube of the stuff on my arms alone. Why? Because I am the free labor this week. Due to the incredible fence scaling talents that Bronco has and Ginger’s astounding … Continue reading

Tragedy!

I just found out (haven’t been attending to twitter very diligently) that Robert Culp died. I’m not one to really care that much when celebrities die (although when Julie Andrews dies I will take to my bed) but I was … Continue reading

Spring is here!

Finally. Granted I live in the south so we don’t have the snow and ice and subzero temperatures but it was really cold this winter.  But the last two days have been up in the 80’s and it has been … Continue reading
