The other day, I prepared spaghetti for dinner. As I was waiting for the big stockpot of water to boil, I wrested open the box of “Thin Spaghetti” and placed it on the counter. Being a mom, I then rushed off to accomplish a billion other jobs in the meantime. A minute or two later, […]

Meet Me on Monday #54
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 […]
So Where’s the W in WAHM?
March 18, 2010
In case you didn’t know, WAHM is an acronym for Work At Home Mom. I love- just love- working at home. I never ever thought it possible, but here it is! I hope it lasts forever, because I just love my jobs (pro-blogging and writing freelance). The work is sometimes a little overwhelming, but I […]
Trying To Get Some Work Done Today
November 24, 2009
IT’S IMPOSSIBLE. She’s been a real hog for attention these days. Not sure why she’s so emotional, but I can barely get anything done! But isn’t she the most adorable thing you ever seen?! :awe:

That poor, poor kitty. Here she sits, longingly looking at the “free” kitties outside….. ha! She has no idea how easy she has it, does she? 😉

Cat owners, I am in desperate need of your help and/or advice. We have a 5 year-old male cat named Fuzzy. He has this horrible wound or ulcer or something in his side. Of course, we discover this late Friday night, when the Vet’s office is closed for the weekend!!!!!!! I am worried sick about […]
My Cat Ate a Ladybug
February 2, 2009
EWWWW! The kids just informed me that my beloved kitten has just eaten her first ladybug. It all started when my daughter saw a ladybug crawling around on the kitchen floor. She attempted to pick up the bug to get it on her hand (to take the bug outside to freeze to death, I suppose! […]
I Need Some Cat Advice
January 26, 2009
Not advice from cats. Advice from people. With cats. Livvy was spayed today. 🙁 She was a good girl at the vet clinic, but she’s feeling pretty lousy tonight. My question concerns this- the vet informed me that they could find no ovaries or uterus with Livvy. The vet made a longer incision than usual […]
Livvy the Kitten and the Tooth Fairy
January 15, 2009
I posted a few days ago that my new kitten, Livvy, lost a tooth. Livvy’s friend (and modeling mentor) Daisy the Curly Cat whispered to Livvy that perhaps if the tooth went under a pillow, the Tooth Fairy *wink wink* might leave Livvy a treat. Livvy seemed very agreeable to the idea, as she has […]
My Kitten Lost a Tooth!
January 13, 2009
(I just KNEW I’d find good use of that LOLCat photo someday!) I was upstairs, tidying up the bedroom and making the bed covers neat. My kitten Livvy loves to play when I do this. She scurries under the covers and I throw the blankets on top. She then mews until I throw them back […]


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.
