It’s a banner day in this suburban household. We set up the Christmas tree, finally. Jack has now agreed to give up his attachment to all things Halloween and has excitedly embraced the season of holly and evergreen. Okay, not so much evergreen as an imitation of evergreen. Yes, that’s right. We’re the faux-Christmas tree […]
Holy Cow…Christmas Countdown!
I was watching a shopping channel on TV this morning and the host mentioned that there are only 21 shopping days left until Christmas! Please do not focus on the fact that it was a shopping channel that provided this valuable information. So, I occasionally partake of a little TV commerce. What’s the problem?Sure, there […]
It has finally happened.
Well,I knew it was bound to happen. Eventually. I’ve been racing against time for years now in a full-on effort to alleviate dealing with this issue. I understand it happens to us all and have tried to reason with myself to that fact. It still stings. It still digs deep. It still pains me. Allow […]
Black Friday
Well, did you survive the holiday? Are you still knee-deep in a tryptophan-induced coma? Are you leaking pumpkin from your pores? Oh…is that just me? How embarassing. We had a wonderful Thanskgiving this year withturkey a’plenty and all the fixin’s. But even more important than that was the fellowship between family and friends. Oh, and […]
Happy Thanksgiving
Wow, I can’t believe Thanksgiving day has arrived! Another year to celebrate and acornucopia of reasons to be thankful. I previously posted that although there are certain aspects about growing older that I could do without (hello wrinkles, forgetfulness and sparse eyebrows) there is an over-abundance of advantages granted to me with each new year. […]
I love vacations, but…
First of all, let me say a big “Thank You” to all of you for allowing me to whine relentlessly on Friday about being all uninspired. I’m over it. You were there. Thanky. Moving on… We just got back froma wonderful weekend in Washington State visiting family and celebrating a veryearly Christmas before parts ofthe […]
Could have been a terrible idea.
My hubby and I can be kind of cheap. Not in the traditional “count every penny and waste not/want not” kind of way. More in the “loathe spending money on things that won’t benefit us in some way, shape or form” kind of way. This “cheapness” extends itself into different parts of our lives. For […]
Huge disappointment…
I have previously posted about the undeniable fact that I never win anything. I’m just that type.I’m the one whose raffle ticket ends in 3when the winning ticket ends in 4. I stand at the cashier pouring over scratch-offs looking for some indiscernible sign that I should pick a specific one, finally deciding on one […]
A new situation
In the event that you are a (somewhat) regular reader of my humble little blog than you are undoubtedly already aware that I have an incredibly sweet, adorable if not head-bangingly frustrating three-year old son, Jack. And in the duration of his short time here on Earth I’ve experienced pretty interesting situations with this kid, […]
What’s the deal with sick men?
It has been a harrowing few days with my little sick man. I think we’ve hit about every high and low, far exceeding anything my imagination could even begin to come up with. Being that Jack has been subjected to just about every medication in the pharmaceutical dictionary he has suffered through mood swings comparable […]
