A Stinky Reason is Better than No Reason…

(I bet you think I’m going to talk about poo again with “Stinky” in the title. Well, you’re wrong. I CAN blog about other things, you know.) I have come to the conclusion that I can’t take any medications. No, I’m not a hippy. I’m actually a big fan of medicine – I don’t like […]

Friday Night Lights

Friday night was Homecoming at our Church’s Private School, which also happens to be Chris’ Alma Mater. So we decided that Ali needed to experience “Little Football”, since she recently got her first experience of “Big Football”. Ali was quite thrilled with the situation. Every time the fans would cheer, she would jump, wide-eyed with […]

The Contents of My Brain, In Numbered Fashion.

1. Admission of Guilt. Mom gave me a dozen eggs lovingly laid by her chickens yesterday at lunch. Ali was thrilled. Nothing is better than Gramamma’s eggs. Err, Gramamma’s CHICKEN’S eggs, that is. Anyway. We were getting out of the car, and…. Yes. It fell. All of them, in their multi-colored beauty. Smashed. In the […]

A Fleaed Foamy Feline.

So I very suddenly and violently came down with an allergy to Oreo on Friday. We’ve had her for five years, and I have always bragged about her amazing hypo-allergenic properties – she doesn’t dander, she isn’t oily – she’s tiny and puffy and pretty and clean. Until Friday. I couldn’t quit sneezing, feeling sinus […]

I’m Using My "Get Out of Blog Free" Card Today.

So the last couple of weeks have been ten times more chaotic than normal weeks, BESIDES the fact that I’m leaving for New York this morning and have been completely unprepared, thanks to the current state of chaos of the rest of my life. So, in order that I can get myself together enough to […]

A Shredded Diary.

So I have been doing The “30” Day Shred workout video along with the rest of the Bloggy World, and, in the interest of full disclosure and accurate blogging, I kept a diary of my workout experience to be able to properly review the DVD of Doom product. Without further ado, here is my Shredded […]

The Birds and the Cows

I’ve been avoiding the question for about nine months now. But I can’t keep putting her off. It’d be better if she heard it from me, her mother, than learning about it from some random kid on the playground. Or worse, the weird old guy lurking in the dairy aisle. I know that she thinks […]

Sold As Is: No Returns or Exchanges on This Post.

IHateMyTeeth. IHateMyTeeth. IHateMyTeeth. IHateMyTeeth. How old do I have to be to trade all of my teeth in for some fakes? Although my Grandmother used to thoroughly freak me out (and make me a bit jealous of her mysterious talents) when she would pop her teeth in and out to impress us grandkids, this stuff […]

My Trip to the Torture Chamber.

So I heeded all of your advice and went to the doctor yesterday. I’ve been meaning to go to a real, live Ear Nose and Throat specialist for my phlegm for months but just haven’t made the time. However, it’s gotten much worse lately (and I really prefer being able to breathe when laying down […]
