A loaf of bread, a bottle of milk, and a pound of common sense… Oops, we’re fresh out of that.

Are we in a recession? I’d say yes. Are things tough all over? Unless you’re Paris Hilton, I’d say yes. (Although Paris has a set of problems that none of us will ever have to deal with, thank you God.) Are people losing their jobs, tightening their belts and wondering how they’re going to make […]

And your regional cuisine sucks too!

Birmingham, the 2nd largest city in England, has issued an ordinance to ban the apostrophe from all of their street signage. Their claim is that the apostrophe is outdated and it confuses people. Confuses people? Really? Confuses people?! You have to be a special kind of stupid to not be able to find a cathedral […]

We need some help in the shoe department. Please.

Mitchell & I went shopping yesterday. We were looking at some shoes and discussing which we liked the best. There was a pair of Vans with some cool details on the sides. “I like these best” Mitch says, pointing to the shoes, “The ones with the Space Invaders on the sides.” Oh no, no, no. […]

My brother-in-law (the former cheerleader & current advocate for more Bring It On movies) sent me this, taken from a Florida newspaper. This guy turns “mangia!” into an order. I thought it was hysterical! (Um, in an assault & battery kind of way…)   A Florida man got a side of assault with his calzone […]

I’d argue that congratulations are in order.

My hat is off to the students who comprise the Clark College Speech & Debate Team! They were just ranked 22nd in the nation over all and 6th among 2 year community colleges. 6th in the country!!! That’s a very big deal… Think how many community colleges there must be in the country! (I just […]

Dear Uncle Jayson. Again.

Criticism is part of life. I expect it. I yap about whatever I want to on this blog and I figure most people a) don’t read it; b) could care less; or, c) agree with me. Sometimes it is the person doing the criticizing that is a surprise…. I am being criticized by my (big, […]

Salt, pepper and digital camera to taste…

I like to cook. So does my husband.I appreciate great food. So does my husband. The similarities often end there. When I cook, I try to be as neat as possible. I clean as I go and I am almost OCD about preventing cross-contamination on my cutting boards, etc. He cleans as he goes too, […]

READY!?! OK! (um, no, I’m not ready.) Or: “How does everybody know about this but me?”

When I was growing up, I swam, took karate, and played soccer & softball. My mom put me in ballet and tap classes as a little, little kid, but I don’t think I really enjoyed it (and those tu-tus are damned itchy.) I was a cheerleader in high school (well, I wore a cheerleading uniform […]

I know that we’ve all gotten used to being around people talking on their cell phones. Maybe we are even guilty of carrying on a conversation while at the grocery store or while pumping gas (although I hear that can make your car blow up…) Still, it was everything I could do to not get […]

There is no cure for what they have… it’s chronic.

I don’t recall how it came up, but I was in the car with Devin & Conner and I said something about “that Playboy chick” on a nearby car. This is the conversation that ensued: Devin: “Wow Mom, that’s so weird!” Me: “What’s weird?” Devin: “To hear you say ‘chick’ – it’s just weird to […]
