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
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
Settling Christmas
Please help me out here. Someone in my family thinks that his tradition is overwhelmingly practiced across America, and someone else in my family thinks that her tradition is more common and awesome. So: do you open presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day? I will reveal the less awesome Christmas tradition practicer…Continue Reading
Pieces of Advice(s)
Tip #1 If you like to go thrifting, and your hunting and pecking takes you to the book section, which is just across from the public bathroom, take a deep breath about five minutes prior and hold it for the duration of your stay. In case of pass-out, be sure to wear a med alert…Continue Reading
Stocking Stuffer Winners!
Lex won the Kookeys! FADKOG won the Tracksters! That’s all I got today. Seriously. You’re lucky you got the exclamation points.
In the Spirit
I do this thing where I’m sure I’m not doing enough for the kids and so rope The Rock into nefarious schemes to make me feel more parenty. This past weekend, I thought we should be doing more holiday things, so I scanned the Internet and found a community theater production in a quasi-questionable…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #35: The Secret
(One more day for the Stocking Stuff Giveaway!) It’s over, baby. ********************************************************************************** I apologize for delaying publication of this week’s PROMPTuesday. Thank you for the notes threatening me with non-specific injury to my person if I didn’t get on the stick. It’s just that I needed to know someone loved me. I know, I…Continue Reading
