There’s all kinds of things wrong here today. There’s the urinary tract infection, and the sinus infection, and the barf infection. The barf infection is particularly loathsome and detrimental to my person. And I’m not even barfing yet. I meant to write muchly today, and as I made my way to the shower, I…Continue Reading

I Need A Dristan Drip…And A Cribbie
So I learned how to post videos to Vimeo. You fortunate people. So now you get to hear Toots read a bedtime story! May its soft melodious nonsense soothe you to a sweet slumber. Also, be ye warned: I sound mannish, and say chaste things like “Speak slower so God can hear you.” Because…Continue Reading
The Wagon
Don’t forget the Children’s Place Gift Card Giveaway! ************************************************************************************* On July 5, 2007, I decided to quit a lot of crazy things cold turkey. These things included caffeine, sugar, white flour, corn syrup solids, sucrose, fructose, lactose, and whatever the hell else I decided to lump into my insane dietary experiment. At…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #37: Book Club
This is a little more unorthodox than my usual PROMPTuesdays, only because I recently saw a list of 101 Things For A Mom Blogger to Write About, and the starter “The Best Book I Ever Read Was…” jumped out at me. Now I know it’s not a fresh topic, nor bawdy nor random, but I…Continue Reading
It’s Not Easy Being Square
Don’t forget the Children’s Place Gift Card Giveaway! ************************************************************************************* I’m having a hard time making friends at my daughter’s preschool. Because I tend to be the sort of person who hangs back a bit a first meet, I just can’t integrate into the group. It doesn’t help that I get nervous around “new” people,…Continue Reading
Another Rock Gift
My husband is aces at picking gifts. He considers the personature of a person, which I guess could also be referred to as “personality,” if you weren’t given to making up words, and selects just the right thing. Sometimes he takes risks, too, and they usually pan out. This was a risk. I don’t typically…Continue Reading
Can’t Wait to Read
The Rock got me this for Christmas, and I am beside myself with anticipation. Of course, I need to find a minute or a brain cell in order to read, but I’m looking forward to reclaiming my life as a reader. Also, if you haven’t read it yet, I Know This Much is True, also…Continue Reading

Lookie Loos
Oh sigh. There’s nothing to see here. No New Year’s epiphanies, nor advice, nor inspiration, nor anecdotes, nor scintillation even, seeing as I and The Rock fell into a sexless sleep at about 9PM, waking only briefly to the sound of midnight fireworks, too tired and lazy to even mumble “Happy New Year” to each…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #36: The Senses
Well, well, well, here we are again. It’s PROMPTuesday time already. I’ve got to tell you…this week’s is one of my favorites. For two reasons: the picture below has always intrigued me, and I love the song that accompanies it. I know I’ve done the whole study a photo thing before, plus I’ve included…Continue Reading
Hope You’re All Well
Goodness, I’ve missed you. Come back soon for when I wonder aloud if I have a drinking problem. Meanwhile: Stay thirsty, my friends. It doesn’t have to be for alcohol. Although if you’re me, it probably is. But I’m getting ahead of myself. So for now, here’s a re-posted…Continue Reading
Next Week For Sure
Thank you for your input. This whole exercise in thinking I’m always right reaching out to the community for backing up of my less popular opinion feedback has been very humiliating valuable. I’d also like to thank The Rock for his gracious acceptance of being right. When he first said that most of America…Continue Reading
