Last Friday, Devin brought home his school backpack, full of books and homework. For some reason, he left it near bags that were being packed into the car for a weekend at the cabin. Sunday evening, I had to remind him to make sure it got packed back into the car to come back from […]
February 14: National Oh Crap! I Need To Be Romantic Day.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Kay Jewelers and actress Jane Seymour have teamed up to sell a line of jewelry. Apparently, besides being a frontier medicine woman (which, I never ever watched, by the way) Ms. Seymour is an artist. Her “Open Hearts” collection is intended to send the message that “if your heart […]
Promoting good hygiene through ridicule.
We are remodeling the only bathroom at our cabin. Well, it’s more like we gutted it in early November, put the sub-floor, insulation and drywall in, and hooked up a toilet. (Which is temporary because the last people who had the cabin switched the hot and cold water pipes. Now when you sit on it, […]
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. […]
You’ll eat it…you’ll eat it and like it!
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Is it cold in the news room? It is in Wisconsin.
Southern California rarely has anything interesting going on, weather-wise. Rich and I watch the morning news, not so much to see the weather report, but to see what our NBC weather girl, Elita Loresca, is wearing to cover up her enormous boobs. We crack up seeing what her librarian-inspired ensemble du jour is. No. Cleavage. […]
