It’s continuing! Yay! Let’s cut to the quick: Questions: 1. What are you wearing right now? My usual: knit pants, a t-shirt, and a flannel shirt on top. My hair is loose (almost waist-long). I’m still wearing my makeup from this morning. 2. Do you have freckles? Nope. Never wanted them after reading “Freckle […]

February 27, 2011
So, what do you get for the person who has everything, hmmm? Maybe a shot of adrenalin. Like… a tandem beach sky dive? or how about a flight to the edge of space? 😮 I don’t know about you, but I get PLENTY of adrenalin just driving to my local Walmart shopping center, thank you […]
Scrubs a Dub-Dub
February 27, 2011
When I was young, my mom was in the hospital several times. It was kind of scary for a little kid- and the monster machines and people running around and those unfriendly, colorless uniforms didn’t help. Everything looked so stark and colorless.

We’ve got snow, lots of it. We had a big storm yesterday, and got clobbered. When I checked at 8am yesterday morning, probably about 1 or 2 inches had fallen. Two hours later, we got about 5 inches. Woohoo. So how much snow do you think the old tree can bear? 😮 Visibility maybe… 100 […]

February 26, 2011
One of the great thing about pets is that they are always so happy to see you in the morning, no matter what you look like. ‘Nuff said. Seems like a lot of my online pals have been taking pets to the vets these days. I have to take Livvy for her yearly shots (oh […]
Classics: How To Tell If Ur Feet Smell and Other Uses For Cats
February 23, 2011
When I was in high school, there was a popular book titled “100 Uses For a Dead Cat.” Some things were pretty funny, but it was a rather nasty book. This photo reminds me of it a little. How to tell if your shoes smell…. This may just constitute cruelty to animals… Cats are good […]
Kittehs and Grabity… or, Lack of It
February 21, 2011
Is it a thing with guys, to torment kitties?? Although, when I watch this video, I do snicker a little. LOL. 😆 This proves, once again, that cats are superior to dogs. :grinny: You know if they put a dog in that room it’d be whizzing all over the place.

Comments Off on Things The Mail Carriers Won’t Tell You….
… but their wives will. I wrote a nice post at my New York Renovator blog. I’m really proud of it, and I would like to think that it may help some folks out there to know more about what it’s like being a mail carrier. Please do me the honor of reading it! Tell […]
No More Meet Me on Monday?!?!
February 21, 2011
Java has announced that she will not be blogging much anymore, as her new job keeps her preoccupied, and she needs to spend time with her family. I can sure understand that…. but… That means no more Meet Me on Monday! :cwy: :whyohwhy: :cwy: I was just getting started! I love that meme!!! Maybe someone […]


Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
