I might very well be the only person on the planet who has not read the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy and has no plans whatsoever to see the movie. (Actually, that’s not true. My husband has no plans to do those things either, so there are at least two of us.) ew. Opening on Valentine’s […]
Mommy T-Ball Challenges
I am a mom who didn’t set a good example this week… Hypocritical: I have a firm rule that if you join a team, or play a sport, you are committing to it. All of it. You don’t just participate when you feel like it. You’re in or you’re out. I played hooky from Grant’s […]
Foiled by candy wrappers.
Please picture this mess all over the house. Please imagine bowls, baskets and containers of Easter candy everywhere. Please also imagine piles of wrappers or those damn little foil wrappers that get rolled into little balls everywhere. (I tell you what – when I find out who is flicking them under the coffee table heads. […]
Sucky anonymous comments are the online equivalent of egging my car.
So, I have had so much fun this past week, making new friends in Blog-Land and reading comments they have left me. Last Monday after reading about it on All That Is Good, I played along with a post and I listed 10 things that bugged me. I got lots of fun comments and then […]
Put another log on the fire and hang some drywall, would you please.
This? This is the way I usually feel at our cabin. Ahhh. Total relaxation. (And yes, I know the carpet is disgusting, but we can’t replace until we finish the remodeling projects…. ) (And it matches the dog. ) This trip wasn’t family time, movies, popcorn, puzzles, etc. We. Did. Work. Since I wasn’t my […]
These are a few of my (least) favorite things….
Tyrone Wells (one of my favorite singers) has a song called The Hate Song. It’s a funny list of things a jilted boyfriend has compiled in order to make himself feel better. Things I hate, in no particular order: 1) People Who Don’t RSVP I have actually put “Please let me know as soon as […]
Dear God, when will this end?
I am afraid to turn on the TV or get online for fear I will see another report of a mass shooting. Besides the high-profile random shootings like the one today in Binghampton, New York; or the one in Samson, Alabama; there have been at least 4 this year in California alone, where an entire […]
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 […]
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 […]
