I love the smell of Aqua Net in the morning…

We went to an 80’s themed birthday party last night. Lots and lots of prep work to get ready. My handsome hubby researched his Billy Idol ensemble as if it were part of a case he was working on… very diligent and thorough. Many looks were represented, but I think my friend Connie had the […]

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 […]

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 Their claim is that the apostrophe is outdated and it confuses people.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 […]

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 […]

The proverbial accident waiting to happen. Literally.

Grant and I were running errands about 2 miles away from Leisure World, a seniors community. A car was tentatively making its way towards us on Seal Beach Blvd, going in the wrong direction. The driver seemed to realize the mistake and try to turn the car around and go the right direction. Traffic was […]

Happy birthday, dear Hitler….

December 17, 2008 Leave a Comment

What!? Shocked? Not as shocking as an idiot couple in PA who named their son Adolf Hitler Campbell.They are mad because the local supermarket bakery would not put the child’s entire name on the cake. Ultimately, good ole Wal-Mart came to the rescue and Lil’ Hitler got his cake. Why would you name a child […]

I’m not a she-she-la-la kind of girl.

I didn’t like the color pink for most of my life. I love it now. If it’s pink in this household, it may as well be radioactive… the boys won’t touch my iPod, my hairbrush, my toothbrush, my jacket, etc…. Pink is a great defense mechanism at my house. I was a tomboy growing up. […]

Like Al Capone busted for income tax evasion, I don’t care which crime gets OJ Simpson sent to jail. I’m just glad he’s going. Asshole.

Victoria’s Secret…? That they’re screwing with us.

December 4, 2008 1 Comment

I am certain that the Victoria’s Secret Powers That Be are either a) demented; or b) sitting back and laughing their collective asses off; or, c) both (I’m goin’ with c) These are photos from the 2008 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Miami. Targeting the Elmer Fudd demographic. How practical! Underwear that doubles as a […]
