Karen's Pirate Life: July 2013
http://piratekaren.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 2, 2013. What I Know About Kids. I’m back in the mix of things as we returned precious Laners last week to his parents, boo! We miss him already! 8221; Well, you’re partly correct, I do not have kids, but I have learned a few things about them from being an aunt and I thought I’d share them. We had to drive through the tunnel to get to the zoo instead of going to the zoo and then the tunnel. The same thing happened as (b) but with a deer, a zebra, a crazed monkey and a buffalo. He didn̵...

Karen's Pirate Life: Worst Aunt EVER!!!
http://piratekaren.blogspot.com/2013/04/worst-aunt-ever.html
Thursday, April 11, 2013. I’m a bit behind, but what’s new? I hope you all had a fabulous Easter! Our Easter was GREAT as Mr. Laners was down to visit. We LOVED getting to spend almost a week with him. I wanted to share a little warning/story that occurred when this sweet boy was visiting. Who can say "NO" to that face? I’m sure it is no big surprise that I will basically give that child anything that he wants. Lane never hears the word “NO” from Aunt LenLen or Uncle Jake. Get out of my way". I keep havi...

http://piratekaren.blogspot.com/2013/06/what-happened-to-may.html
Tuesday, June 11, 2013. What Happened to May? I hope you all had a fabulous May! It went by sooo fast, probably because it was jam packed with fun things! Jake and I LOVED South Carolina! It was sooo pretty and peaceful! It was a nice change of pace from our usual Vacations! Hunting Island, South Carolina. Hunting Island, South Carolina. Tried the panoramic option on the Iphone and found that my hands were a bit shaky. Other exciting news in May, We got a new nephew! Jace Thomas was born on May 31. Pictu...

Karen's Pirate Life: August 2012
http://piratekaren.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 16, 2012. I Don't Want to Live on This Planet Anymore! I know it has been a while since I last blogged. It has not been from a lack of posts, trust me, I feel like my facebook “friends” are taunting me to blog about them. I am honestly surprised by the amount of ignorance some people portray. The above picture describes my actual feelings about most of these people! Keeping with tradition, I want to start out with a facebook High Five! I hope you all have a fantastic week! There was an e...

Karen's Pirate Life: Things You Should Never Say To a Woman Buying a Pregnancy Test
http://piratekaren.blogspot.com/2014/04/things-you-should-never-say-to-woman.html
Thursday, April 24, 2014. Things You Should Never Say To a Woman Buying a Pregnancy Test. I know I mentioned in my last post that I would share what made my pregnancy test purchase outing such a disaster. I went to our local Dollar Store, it was the closest store to my house and like I said, I am impatient. DS Clerk: “Uh oh, is this an accident? Me: “Excuse me? DS Clerk: “You had the same idea as a lady who just left. She bought two tests.”. DS Clerk: “So, was this planned? I decided that the lady was ju...

Karen's Pirate Life: It Just Got Real, Y’all!
http://piratekaren.blogspot.com/2014/04/it-just-got-real-yall.html
Thursday, April 24, 2014. It Just Got Real, Y’all! Milo is going to be a big brother. I’m freaking out a bit! This post won’t see the light of day for a while, but I have to write this down or 1. I’ll forget and 2. I’ll forget. I’m sure you all knew about my 30 year “agreement” with Jake. When we got married at 21, I asked him to give me until I was 30 until we started having kids. He disagreed and said BY 30, toh-mot-toes, tomat-toes. Is it weird that I would plan a baby around birthday parties? So I ha...

Karen's Pirate Life: October 2012
http://piratekaren.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 31, 2012. I LOVE this holiday, despite never wanting to dress up or partake in any haunted house or party. Maybe it is because it is the only time of year that Hocus Pocus comes on television or maybe it was because we NEVER had trick-or-treaters growing up. We lived off the beaten path and no one ever came to our house. I am so excited for trick-or-treaters tonight! I think we only had 15 last year. Apparently it is not as safe to trick or treat in this day and age. Shout out to the 9...
