Thumbs Up for TracFone
October 30, 2011
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TracFone for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Well, it’s “that time” of year for us again…. not the holidays, the time when I have to renew the cell phone coverage for the kids. All the younger kids use TracFone, but my oldest daughter […]
Around the Interwebz #3
October 27, 2011
Woohoo, I got my Internet again, baby, and it’s BURN BABY BURN. Fastfastfast, oh yeah! Right now, it’s just me on the network. I know as soon as all the kids and their computers connect, my lightning bolts will start to stutter into weenie speed…. but cable is definitely faster than DSL. And this time, […]
I’m Sorry!
October 26, 2011
I would like to say sorry to all my blogging pals for my presumed absence. I do have a good excuse! There I was, merrily surfing the web for maps of Christian’s journey (in John Bunyan’s classic Pilgrim’s Progress). I saw the latest movie and was wowed. I have plans to go over the map […]

Comments Off on If You Live in Central New York….
… and like to eat food (especially local food), I’m giving away tickets to the big Pride of New York Harvest Festival. It’s the biggest food extravaganza of the year, and over 100 local agriculture, winery, and food product companies will be there. It is held at the New York State Fair fairgrounds from November […]

October 24, 2011
Another week rolls around! Only a few more of them until we hit the Mayan-prophesied catastrophe, right??? :cuckoo: (Nothing like a bit o’ sarcasm to start off the Monday, eh? Can be a better jolt than coffee, sometimes). OK OK I’ll get started. Here are this week’s questions. 1. My favorite kind of animal is […]
Whole Bunch of Turkeys Will Be There
October 22, 2011
Spotted at my local Walmart: Stuffed behind a HUGE display and assortment of stupid Halloween crap (I hate Halloween), the Thanksgiving stuff barely gets any notice. But I saw these turkey hats and nearly keeled over with laughter. The hats play “Turkey in the Straw.” WHAT KIND of looney family would wear a TURKEY HAT?!?!? […]
Friday Fill-In, Hey I’m Not Late, It’s Still Friday!
October 21, 2011
I’m not too late, am I? Man, Fridays always catch me unawares. Here are this week’s questions for Hilary’s Friday Four Fill In meme. They look like good ones, too! 🙂 1. I am afraid of____. Ugh. No comment. I’ve been trying to avoid the news headlines….. I am in a good mood right now […]
Toot, Toot
October 20, 2011
I’m tooting my own horn here, peeps. I just finished a few blog posts at my tech blog, The Older Geek. It’s one of my beloved blogs, a real labor of love. I created it so I could help other folks with tech issues that I battled through in the past. Much of it centers […]
Meet Me on Monday #53
October 17, 2011
It’s another Monday! How do they come around so quickly every week? Questions: 1. The thing that scares me the most is __________? Ugh, I can’t think about all those things! It’ll ruin my day. 🙁 I’m kinda high strung and if I meditate on how the politicians are ruining our economy and out country, […]


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.
