ZooStores New Blog
June 29, 2012
Are you sitting at the computer too long? Not getting in much exercise? Is your sedentary butt growing by the week?! LOL, look what I found! I actually kind of like it! I don’t think I could use it, though. It’s difficult enough, sitting in my chair like a lump, trying to concoct educational and […]

Me: Gee, how old will I be this year?? Daughter: I dunno. Me (to husband): Honey, how old will I be? Husband: 45. Me: 45?!?!??!?!?!??! I […]
I Keep Trying to Think But Nothing Happens
June 27, 2012
After long hours writing articles all day, my brain is fried and the house is a disaster. I took most of the month of June off, working sporadically. Vacation is over. So in the evening when I need to come up with something here, I’m dry. Oh, I have a number of stories in my […]
Help, I’m Melting, and Other Silly Stuff
June 21, 2012
We in the Northeast finally got clobbered with the massive heat wave belching up from the west, the one that all you guys were moaning about earlier this week. Um, yeah. It’s a doozy.

Comments Off on A Great Pet Website
Hey you guys, I found a terrific new website for pet owners- it’s Pet Forums. It’s one of the few websites I’ve seen that address not only dogs and cats, but also birds, horses, and fish! I have a bird, and he is largely ignored when it comes to stuff like pet health. I honestly […]
Monday Laziness
June 18, 2012
Because I work from home, I maintain a weird schedule. I often work during the evening hours, Mondays, and weekends. This past week, however, I have been completely lazy. And I’m making it an extended weekend by not working today, either. I have 9 articles awaiting me in my queue, yes, but I’m going to […]
Leave It to Me to Get the Rebellious Bugs That Defy Science
June 16, 2012
While sitting at my desk, I heard some annoying buzzing in the window next to me. I inspected the sill, and discovered a very strange bug. It looked like… well, it had the head of an ant, the thorax of a honeybee, and the abdomen of a beetle! WEIRD!!! I’d never seen anything like it […]

The kids introduced me to Brad Stine last week. Oh My Gosh- this guy is not only hilarious, he’s right! :grinny: Here’s his stand-up routine on Road Signs and Animal Rights. LOL!!

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.
