Warm November Flies Away

Whoa, eight days since the last post… Since we’ve been pretty lazy with the WebJournal lately, we’re going to try and post something every day next week — and since it’s Thanksgiving week, we’ll be highlighting something we’re thankful for in each entry. The fun begins on Sunday the 21st. We have some semi-interesting weekend […]

Whaddya want?

A third Christmas list is now available to the right — the Comande Family Christmas list! If you’re a Comande family member, and you want your Christmas list posted for all to see, you can contact us (e-mail, phone, whatever), and we’ll add it as soon as we can. So far, it’s just Sue and […]

You’ve Been Asking For It…

…and now it’s here! My (Jenelle’s) Christmas list is now online. Just click on the link below our webcam picture. Remember — nobody has to buy us anything, but since you never listen when we tell you that, we’ve come up with a few suggestions. Enjoy, and remember to send Ben an email before or […]

Ricky’s 50-something, Pinocchio’s 40-something

A lot of us had trouble making shots at tonight’s game, but I still thought we put forth a good effort. Oh, well… you can’t win ’em all. Next week, we’re playing a team called “Bye”. I wonder if they’re any good. In other news — only 6 days until I get my ring back. […]

Pinocchio’s 34, Ricky’s III 30

Silly me, I forgot to mention two birthdays from October 21: Happy Birthday, Randy! – Picture here Happy Birthday, Jeri! Last night was the first game of the city league basketball season. Though only six players were available for the Pinocchio’s team, we managed to squeeze out a victory over Ricky’s III. I didn’t score […]

Ring it up… er, down

Would you like to try the BEN weight loss plan? Here’s what you do. Exercise a little more. Eat a little less. That’s it. I’ve noticed that I’m losing weight in various parts of my body. Since January, I’ve lost roughly 40 pounds. My waist size has dropped from nearly 40 to 34-35. But here’s […]

The Power of a Complaint

Jenelle here… When I was growing up, I would often go to the grocery store with my mom. Every single time, without fail, she would complain about the grotesque mold growing under the handles of the shopping carts. It was quite grotesque. She would often complain to anyone that would listen about the perils of […]

Badgers 24, Wildcats 12

Well, Northwestern fans aren’t happy, but the whole state of Wisconsin has no depression whatsoever, which makes me smile. 🙂 The flowers that were previously displayed on the webcam (now available for viewing here) were purchased at Pick N’ Save. And, as you can see from the latest webcam picture, our butter knife indeed does […]

24 reasons to smile

The flowers currently displayed on the BenCam were purchased on Friday. I hadn’t originally intended them to be a Sweetest Day present, but that’s what they turned out to be. My general rule is that if you can’t remember the last time you bought flowers for your special someone, it’s time to make a new […]

Celebrity B-Ball

I’ve decided to play city league basketball on my uncle’s team this year (Pinocchio’s Restaurant at 31 & 20). We’ve had two practices so far, which consist mainly of scrimmage games with whoever else happens to be around. One of the people who we happened to be playing against last night just happened to be […]
