So, I have had so much fun this past week, making new friends in Blog-Land and reading comments they have left me. Last Monday after reading about it on All That Is Good, I played along with a post and I listed 10 things that bugged me. I got lots of fun comments and then […]
Pee My Pants, Part 2.
I do not get tongue-tied and stupid when I see a celebrity. (Tongue-tied and stupid? Yes. But because of a celebrity? Never!) I live in the L.A. area. My best friend is in the business. I’ve seen’ em around. Celebrities are often a) idiots; b) arrogant jackholes; or, c) quite boring. (And sometimes the perfect […]
You never know when your number’s up. Or when that lesson hits home for your kids…
How quickly life can change. Or end. My husband took the boys to an Angels game last night. They watched 22 year old rookie pitcher, Nick Adenhart, pitch a 6 inning shut out. (The best of his professional career so far.) We watched the highlights on the news last night after they got home. This […]
Oh gee, what’s a meme?
As previously mentioned, I’ve found a community of women who share common interests and have made friends through their blogs. I feel like a new kid on the block (actually, this NKOTB affinity is something I do not share with most of these ladies), and I really would like to join their baseball game. I […]
My mental powers are not making my jeans fit any better…
Summer is coming. (Those of you in North Carolina don’t believe it, but I swear it’s true.) That means bathing suit time is here. I live 10 minutes from the beach and the people in this house will be expecting me to take them there pretty soon. I let my gym membership lapse (click here […]
Put another log on the fire and hang some drywall, would you please.
This? This is the way I usually feel at our cabin. Ahhh. Total relaxation. (And yes, I know the carpet is disgusting, but we can’t replace until we finish the remodeling projects…. ) (And it matches the dog. ) This trip wasn’t family time, movies, popcorn, puzzles, etc. We. Did. Work. Since I wasn’t my […]
These are a few of my (least) favorite things….
Tyrone Wells (one of my favorite singers) has a song called The Hate Song. It’s a funny list of things a jilted boyfriend has compiled in order to make himself feel better. Things I hate, in no particular order: 1) People Who Don’t RSVP I have actually put “Please let me know as soon as […]
Don’t let the name scare you.
In a previous post I wrote about my propensity for pulling random ingredients out of the fridge around dinner time and making things up as I go along. When my kids ask what it’s called, I usually say something uninspired or unimaginative like Mom’s Casserole or Mom’s Pasta Surprise. Mom’s something or other. The boys […]
My favorite exchange of the day. (So far.)
Grant: “Rocky (the cat) keeps running away from me.” Mom: “Stop chasing him with the ukulele.” Grant: “But he likes music.”
Dear God, when will this end?
I am afraid to turn on the TV or get online for fear I will see another report of a mass shooting. Besides the high-profile random shootings like the one today in Binghampton, New York; or the one in Samson, Alabama; there have been at least 4 this year in California alone, where an entire […]
