Diet Tip of the Day. (Just one….that’s all I’ve got.)

April 20, 2010 23 Comments

Do you have that certain time of the day where you must. have. a snack? I do. It’s around 3:00 or so. That’s the time of day where I am likely to scarf down a stack of Oreos eat a block of cheese make some bad choices. I don’t know what it is about that […]

My husband keeps my feet warm.

I have said before that my marriage is based on love, trust, respect… and the laughter that can come with totally screwing with the other person. Sometimes it is a big thing. Sometimes it’s the little things. Once when Handsome Hubby and I were out to dinner (at a very nice restaurant) we ordered a […]

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 […]

At least I know what to make when The Queen comes for dinner.

My wonderful son Devin. So sweet. So handsome. So smart. Such a goofball…. Last night I made stuffed bell peppers for dinner. They’re fairly quick and easy, plus red bell peppers were on sale for 19 cents each this week and I had plenty to use up. Due to a meeting, Handsome Hubby couldn’t be […]

Kindergarten teachers are underpaid.

October 5, 2009 24 Comments

Most teachers are underpaid. I don’t know how they do it. How do they keep a nice, soothing tone of voice? How do they keep those kids under control without a cattle prod? Why aren’t they in a stupor, rocking back and forth and mumbling greeneggsandhamgreeneggsandhamgreeneggsandham…? I am The Cooking Mom every other Wednesday in […]

Chicken breasts.

September 27, 2009 26 Comments

I went to a charity fundraiser with my friend Jodi last night. We got dressed up…   we put on make-up…   I spent more than an hour actually drying and styling my 45 pounds of hair…   We were lookin’ good. Upon arrival, we headed (immediately) to the bar and each got a glass of wine.   We […]

I don’t care who you are… as time goes by, your butt gets bigger.

My kids are all smart. They frequently make dumb choices, but technically they are all very intelligent. That’s why things like this just crack me up: Me: “Mitch, it is supposed to be very hot today… are you sure you want to wear jeans to school?” Mitch: “I have to. I don’t have any shorts.” […]

She’s just not that into you.

Last Thursday was Devin’s birthday, and on Friday morning he went to Knott’s Berry Farm with 3 of his friends… 2 boys and 1 girl. Maddie, he assured me, was a friend. Just a friend. Not a girlfriend. I dropped the kids off at 10:00 a.m. and the plan was to pick them up close […]

The stars at night…

Handsome Hubby was on the computer visiting one of his favorite sites, Google Earth. HH: “Hey, did you know there is a Grant, California?” Me: “No.” Grant: “I wish there was a Grant, Texas….” (big sigh) What the?
