Ok – people better stop dying on me!

One of the funniest and most intelligent comedians of all time A guy who wasn’t afraid to attack the Establishment head-on A man who could make you laugh until you peed your pants A dude who was cool enough to say the “Seven Words” whenever possible, but still delight the kids by being the voice [...]

Exactly how dumb ARE your kids?

(insert obligatory “forgive me, but I’ve been busy with the new website and please GO THERE and print off 3000 coupons from my sidebar so I can make $.14 andby the way, things have been pretty good around here, or at least, boring enough that I don’t want to blog about it, and the one thing [...]

Rules of the Road

Having left the workforce just over seven years ago and having spent all that time avoiding rush hour traffic on the highway that connects my outlying suburb to “the real world”, I think I forgot how annoying other drivers can be. Either that, or I just has a serious case of PMS and managed to [...]

I’m old

That’s what I’m feeling right now as I get ready to leave to go to my sister’s house for my nephew’s graduation party/excuse for the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins to get together and drink until 3:00am. I remember the day he was born…racing to the hospital to hold my very first nephew. And [...]

A huge loss to political discourse.

With one exception, I have stayed away from all-things-politics on here.  This isn’t even really political, aside from the fact that he hosted a political show. The news of Tim Russert’s death of an apparent heart attack at the young age of 58 saddens me in a way that I don’t think I can quite [...]

I’ve never felt like a bigger idiot in my entire life.

So I’ve hinted at ExcitingNewProjectThatIsYetUnNamed. I’ve got 500 million ideas swimming in my head and this morning I sat down to finally pull the trigger on it. I downloaded WordPress (.org, so I can customize…or more accurately PAY someone to customize…my template to my little heart’s content). I signed up with BlueHost for 1-year hosting. [...]

Quick Test of Motherhood

When your daughter wakes up from her nap with a 102.5 fever and a horrible croup-y cough, do you panic and rush her to the hospital? call every mom you know and ask them what should be done before rushing her to the doctor? rush her to the doctor and insist that she be seen at [...]

Can I give my mother a medal, but not tell her?

After all these years, I certainly can’t start telling her NOW that she was a good parent! When I was a child, we belonged to HoityToityPool.  Every day we would get in the car and be there by noon and stay all day, often ordering in dinner of pizza and staying until they kicked us [...]

Meet My Family (100 things, part 6)

When I get comments and emails expressing sympathy for something in my life, I often like to milk it for all it’s worth make sure that I provide updates.  My aloe plant is now just a little stump, but my sunburn is much better.  I still look like I’m wearing a red t-shirt, but it [...]
