I always knew that mine and Chris’ eyes were a similar color, but it wasn’t until I took this picture that I realized that they were exact matches (or at least they were that day): It is so fascinating to me that those two eyes can produce this: And that this: Plus This: Can produce […]
Thighs, in the Powdered Form.
I LOVE Shredded Mozzarella Cheese. Not sliced, and not cubed. Just shredded. Because I’ve always adored that powdery texture that only shredded Mozzarella has. It’s just so cool, refreshing, and delicious. (Which brings me to an aside: why does refrigerated cheese seem like a healthy snack, but melted-cheese-on-anything seems like a hunk of lard that’s […]
Coloring With a Toddler is Like Speed Dating.
I don’t know what it is about toddlers, but they just do NOT understand an overly obsessive-compulsive adult’s need to FINISH coloring a picture before moving on. I need closure. I need my picture to come to fruition and fulfillment of it’s potential. I need to look back and say, “Well done, good and artistic […]
Someone Please Add Some Extra Value to Extra Value Cards.
I am a Savingsaholic. I love coupons, discounts, saving up points to get special rewards, watching the sale papers, all of it. (Except grocery store coupons. I learned that I buy more products that I don’t normally use and forget to use the coupons for the products I DO use at the grocery store, thereby […]
Side Effects May Include Blog-Related Death.
Is it just me that is completely perplexed – nay, SHOCKED even, at the stupidity of prescription drug marketing? Maybe they’re meant to be comedy routines, because they ARE entertaining. They are all starting to seem like Saturday Night Live Spoofs of themselves. First of all, let’s start with my least favorite commercial ever ever […]
Magic.
I remember being very young. . . still small enough to ride in the seat on the back of my Mom’s bicycle. We would ride, along with my older brother on his own bike, a few blocks from our house to Marsh’s Bakery. We would go inside and stare in amazement and delight at all […]
An Open Letter To All Automobile Manufacturers.
Dear Car Companies (please especially perk up, Mr. Honda and Mr. Toyota), I am a Mom. I am twenty-seven years old. Which means that I am young enough to have experienced the minivan as a kid, thereby forever sealing the impression into my head that minivan = OLD MOM. I’m not against minivans in general, […]
How Did Alabama Get the Short End of the Beach Stick?
I wrote this on Tuesday for Alabama Bloggers. And, since I have been completely busy AND unbelievably sleepy, (which equals no blogging time), I thought I’d try to sneak one past you guys and reprint something I wrote for somewhere else, hoping that some of you would maybe have not read it at Alabama Bloggers. […]
The Kitchen Cock
Wedding presents. They’re lovely things, aren’t they? I don’t know about y’all, but by the time we finished returning the 5 coffee makers we received to buy the towels and silverware that we got none of, and everything else that needed returning, we had a running list of what brands could be returned to what […]
If I Wanted My Hair to Stick Up, I’d Put a Cone in it. . .
So have you noticed that “big hair” is back in? I’m pretty sure that it all started this stylish lady:Now granted, it actually really does look very distinguished the way that Sarah Palin wears her hair bump. But I remember when I first saw it, I was like, “What in the world is on the […]
