So I just got back from The Haven Conference, which was fabulous and I’ll tell you all about it in the the next few days. There were lots of great sponsors there and one of them, Fish Foam, was giving out toy yo-yo’s along with samples of their product. Most women aren’t that into […]
On PETA and Seeing Eye Dogs…
Scene: We are all gathered in our kitchen. Handsome Hubby and Conner are discussing the PETA organization. The conversation comes around to PETA’s position on Seeing Eye Dogs. (They oppose the use of animals in any form: food, clothing, entertainment, they even think it is exploitative to have pets, let alone force them to help blind people.) […]
Some people exist just so that they can serve as a warning to others…
Guess what this is? Go ahead…. guess. Oh, you’ll never guess… I’ll just tell you as a Tip Of The Day. You can run on your treadmill while wearing a necklace… OR You can run on your treadmill while listening to your iPod… BUT You should NOT run while wearing both a necklace and your […]
Dear Totino’s…. do you think we’re idiots?
Dear Totino’s,If these are the Kids In America, then the kids in America (and their parents) need a major ass-kicking. I hate this commercial. HATE! Click here to see it.(I can’t embed it… sorry.) If anything? This commercial serves as a marketing deterrent. signed,A parent in America
NOT a well-planned joke.
Just like all of you, I’ve been baking and decorating and shopping and baking and wrapping and baking and… lots of baking. And lots of boys asking if said baked goods were ready to eat yet. Earlier this afternoon I was super-exhausted-I-need-a-nap-or-I’m-gonna-fall-over kind of tired. Just a quick power-nap. (Dear Earplugs and Dark Room, I […]
A 5 minute car ride lasts 5 minutes…. A bad word lasts forever.
The other week I was making one of my many trips up and down Los Al Blvd… running errands… picking up kids… dropping them off someplace else… (going back to the store to pick up the one thing that was actually on my shopping list, yet failed to get.) I was frustrated, for sure. However, […]
Kiss my Blarney Stone.
Conner’s school made an announcement over the intercom this morning: Any student who pinches another student for not wearing green will get a detention. A pinch for not wearing green is considered harassment and possibly will be considered assault. Reeeeeeee-diculous.
Are you smarter than a granola bar? (or) Does too much fiber affect the space time continuum?
I had to run into Target over the weekend to pick up a birthday gift for one of Grant’s little buddies. I figured since I was there, I should grab a few gallons of milk too. And a frozen pizza. Oooh, and paper towels. And some juice boxes… As I cruised down one of the […]
Surely, you can’t be serious. I am… And don’t call me Shirley.
Back to school week has been a busy one for everyone. Did anyone else run into ridiculousness while preparing for it? Let me share the good, the bad, and the cataclysmically stupid.. The Good: **I am uber-organized. School clothes and school supplies were purchased on sale and over the course of the summer. In fact, […]
Is that Stinky Eyeball for me? Thanks!
Mitch had a play-off baseball game Friday night. I got there late. It was the top of the 5th and our team was up by 5. Looks good to me. And by the way, even if they were down by 5, we’re talking 11 and 12 year olds. This shouldn’t be white-knuckle seriousness… It’s Little […]
