I’m going to start letting Grant pick out my shoes.

July 20, 2012 3 Comments

This post may contain Amazon or other affiliate links. Scene:  I am working on the computer.  Grant is in the next room watching TV.  I cannot see him or the TV, but I can hear everything.  I hear the word Shoedazzle, whatever that is.  I assume that it’s like the Bedazzler, but specifically for shoes. […]

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

Legos have a soundtrack.

March 4, 2011 11 Comments

Yesterday, Grant was playing with his Legos in his room. He was making the typical little boys noises: vroom, pow, crash, etc. Then those noises gave way to singing. Not just any singing. Singing that lets momma know that big brothers have been playing SNL episodes on the DVR when Grant is around. Singing of […]

IT’S A WONDERFUL (time to expose your little kid to Saturday Night Live at this time in his) LIFE.

December 27, 2010 6 Comments

This post contains Amazon or other affiliate links. Last night I was watching It’s A Wonderful Life. Such a fabulous movie! A Christmas tradition for many, many people. We also have a Christmas tradition in that we bust out the Saturday Night Live Christmas DVD along with other holiday favorites. Grant loves this SNL DVD. […]

Can you play?

May 4, 2009 27 Comments

Do you have favorite toys and TV shows from your childhood? Of course you do.  Me too. I’ve mentioned previously that I was a total tomboy. I hated all things Barbie. I would occasionally play them with my sister, but only long enough to set up and organize Barbie’s household, then I didn’t want to […]

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 […]

Follow that dad!

Much to his big brothers’ dismay, Grant has been watching Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, The Wonder Pets and Curious George lately. They frequently have episodes where the characters “track” an animal of some kind. Rich is also an avid outdoorsman and even has a book called Animal Tracks & Scat that was his […]

Salt, pepper and digital camera to taste…

January 26, 2009 1 Comment

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, […]

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. […]

Willard Scott isn’t half as crazy as the people who keep him on the air.

Rich and I have a Friday night guilty pleasure: The Soup with Joel McHale on the E channel. If you’ve never watched it (you should!) it is 30 minutes of clips from reality shows, talk shows, soap operas, you name it. It is a show that basically makes fun of pop culture and all of […]
