Another week has come and gone. Less than a week left of Christmas vacation, wah!!! Oh, I forgot, everybody calls it “Winter Break” now. What a cold and antiseptic name for one of the best school vacation holidays of the year! I still call it Christmas vacation. So it’s Friday. Oh wait- let me check […]

First Church of the Funny Signs

I missed Wordless Wednesday, so consider these as my tardy contribution. LOL!
Spoiling Myself Today
December 26, 2011
Well, I am working this evening, but I’m taking my time and doing things that I like to do. Laptop in the dining room (away from my disastrous desk piled with bills and etc, heh heh)…. spiced eggnog… rose-scented candle… Christmas music in the background. 😀 Ahh.
The Day After and Other Blather
December 26, 2011
How was your Christmas holiday? I made a nice dinner and we all voted to watch “Ben Hur” together… but it wasn’t on our movie bookshelf! A thorough scouring of the home and boxes and closets produced no “Ben Hur”! I have no idea what I did with that movie!! I was pretty disappointed. I […]
One O’Dem Dere Dayz
December 22, 2011
This is SO me today…. Stealthy… sleek…. calm, cool, collected… got a plan, yeah…. and then: :blink: On the bright side, the cat has eight more to go! :grinny: P.S. Sorry about that last LOLCats image. Usually they tag funny pictures at the end of videos, but that one is obscene. :-p
In the Email Bin
December 21, 2011
In light of the Christmas holidays right around the corner — and with all the relatives coming and all — I thought I’d give you guys a little head start on discussing politics at the family dinner table. Of course, this one is disguised in a bit of humor. If anyone takes offense, you can […]
That “OH NO I FORGOT” Moment
December 20, 2011
Does it happen to you?? Your shopping cart is loaded — absolutely stuffed sky high — with gifts and groceries… you check out after waiting in line for 45 minutes… cram everything into your car and sit in the driver’s seat with a sigh of relief…. and THEN it hits you. OH MY WORD I […]
Saturday Tidbits
December 17, 2011
Everybody has them on Tuesday but I thought I’d be different and have mine on Saturday. :grinny: *** I don’t like that a lot of my pals are on Facebook all the time and not blogging as much. 🙁 I don’t like all the “sharing” that goes on there. Nothing against you guys, really, but […]

December 16, 2011
Update: Oh YEAH. I wrote this post THIS MORNING but totally forgot to hit “Publish.” LOL. Friday Fill-In is middle-aged, now! Woo hooo!!! Let’s cut to the chase. I am in a no-nonsense mood today. :rollingpin: 1. ____ is my ideal winter night. Lights out. Fireplace lit. The scent of spicy Chai tea in the […]

Comments Off on Any Excuse for a Party
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of PartyLite Simple Pleasures Holiday Sweepstakes for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Were you ever a “Tupperware hostess” or “Avon hostess”? I remember going to a few of those kinds of parties when I was a young girl, with my mom. I was cleaning […]


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.
