Middle D. has been waiting to be five since, well, since he turned four I guess. Or maybe it has been since Big F turned five. Either way, he has some magical notions in his head about what it means to be five years old. He went to sleep tonight clutching his “5” candle in… Read More
Clean Slate Sunday
Share post:
Look what I found over at the Motherlode. More proof that moms feel guilty. All moms. Women feel guilty all the time. And we are our own worst enemies. It’s true! Researchers and experts agree: 5 out of 6 moms are wandering around in a guilt-ridden haze. Thanks to the folks at the Working Mother… Read More
24 Going on 40
Share post:
I’m almost at the age where I should be happy when some one guesses my age is 35. And yet…no. I remember going out with my husband, not too long ago, and when I ordered a glass of wine there were no IDs exchanged or questions asked. Not unusual. Until I heard the following conversation… Read More
On the Road Again
Share post:
Ugh. I did it again this morning! It takes me 30 minutes to get to work–from my house to the parking garage–each morning. Much of that drive is spent on a back road, a country lane if you will. One lane in each direction. Lots of tight S curves. No traffic most days. It is… Read More
The One Where I Feel Like An Old Lady
Share post:
Today I’m channeling Milton Berle–no, not Milton Berle. Who was the actor who voiced Templeton the Rat in Charlotte’s Web? Hold on, let me Google….Paul Lynde! He was also the father in Bye Bye Birdie and sang that song about “Kids.” If he were alive today he would be awesome as Cam’s closeted father on… Read More
Guilty Pleasures
Share post:
One of my favorite past times is online shopping. I like this even more than I like reading Courtney Stodden’s terrifically terrible yet chaotically compelling tweets. I am feverishly fascinated by her obvious obsession with alliteration–context and comprehension be damned! But forget scary Courtney Stodden and her creepy middle-aged husband for a minute. Let’s talk… Read More
Fun with Homophones
Share post:
Saturday night as I was drifting off to sleep after a fun night out with friends, the perfect idea for Halloween costumes hit me like a lightning bolt sent down from the creativity gods. “What if we go as homophones on Halloween?,” I suggest to my husband. And, yes, to answer your question: wine was… Read More
Girls on Film
Share post:
This post should open with a disclaimer: I have not seen the last ten (or more) chick flick/rom coms that have come out. I have not seen any since The Proposal, which I saw at home many, many moons after its release date. And I watched it to see my friend, Sandy. I have not… Read More
Momma’s Got the Hook Up
Share post:
So, as I’ve mentioned before, I don’t currently attend a church or even fully identify with any one religion. I kind of like to pick and choose parts and pieces that sound good to me: karma, reincarnation, do unto others, make amends and all is forgiven, etc. And then leave out the ones I don’t… Read More
