I double washed these strawberries, but should I be worried…?
Dear Sally Hansen: You suck.
It appears the “10 Day No Chip” promise only applies to people who do not use their hands. Not only does it chip like crazy, but if you wash your hands or take a shower, the edges of the polish start washing off. This is after 2 days. Maybe they should call it “10 Minute […]
Enjoy it while you can. (or) Don’t worry, it’s the first and last time you’ll have to eat this.
I tend to wing it when I cook, and my “creations” are either a) loved; b) hated; or, c) told to work on their act and audition again. My culinary concoctions are usually made up while incorporating leftovers, so for years I told the family to enjoy it if they liked it or choke it […]
I am SO glad I didn’t run over that old man in the parking lot. He had much wisdom to share.
I ran into the grocery store to pick up a few things. Specifically, wine. Â I’m on a Petite Syrah kick right now and I bought a case that was on sale. Â (Oh, but what I would give to afford a daily Rombauer habit… but I digress.) A clerk helped me out to the parking lot […]
What the heck is an online Spray Paint Party?
A few weeks ago I stumbled across a blog I really like: Thrifty Decor Chick I thought, “Wow! This is awesome. Here is a girl who thinks like I do…. re-purpose, re-use, re-finish, etc.” She loves Goodwill and yard sales, and she shares my love of spray paint. Little did I know, that there is […]
Have you heard of this Barack Obama guy…?
Scene: morning, our living room. Conner is watching the news. Conner: “Mom? What’s Obama’s last name?”Mom: “Obama.”Conner: (with a laugh and a little snort) “Obama Obama?! pfft!” oy.
All that’s missing is Phoebe and Smelly Cat.
ABC premiered a new show last night. (I did not watch. I’m a House person.) There was something vaguely familiar about an online ad I saw for this new show, Roommates. Here is the description, from the show’s website: Mark has a crush on Katie, so what’s he do? Becomes her roommate. Smooth. They also […]
Back-breaking amounts of homework.
This is wrong. There should be no need for kids to have to carry this much in their school backpacks. Conner’s backpack easily weighs 40 pounds. Devin’s weighs a bit more than that. Are today’s schools under the impression that our children are pack-mules? (Stubborn and mule-headed does not mean they can carry this much […]
What’s a little debt between taxpayers?
A friend sent this to me in an email and I was floored… All this talk about “stimulus packages” and”bailouts”… A billion dollars… A hundred billion dollars… Eight hundred billion dollars… One TRILLION dollars… What does that look like? It’s so much money that I can’t even comprehend that prefix… So, to provide some scale […]
This too shall pass.
Grant is on an invisibility kick. It’s getting really old, really fast. In the kitchen:Grant: “Mom, can I have a cookie please?”Mom: “Not until after lunch.”Grant: “I ate an invisible lunch, but I want a real cookie.” At baseball practice:Coach: “Grant, pay attention! It’s your turn up at bat.”Grant: “I’m going to use my invisible […]
