So, I was pounding away on my treadmill this evening watching a really fun movie from 1965, “That Funny Feeling” starring the incomparably adorable Sandra Dee and her real-life (albeit temporary) honeybee Bobby Darin. And next thing I knew I passed by forty-five minutes in a blur. One of the reasons I prefer to watch […]
First Day of School
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Oh, happy day….oh, happy day. Celebrate good times, come on! Sense a theme here? You got it. What you are witnessing here is my total elation at the First Day of School! For both of my chitlins. The old one AND the young one. Which means I was granted access to three, count […]
Bargain Shopping
Have you ever known someone who has that special knack at finding bargains? The kind of score that gives you a twinge of envy and a slightly sick stomach? “Oh, gee. I can’t believe I just found this brand new Coach purse for $3.50. Ah-mazing.” Yeah, well that is not me. I would be the […]
“Be Your Own Advocate”
I’ve been hearing a certain comment over and over lately and its severity really resonated with me today. “Be your own medical advocate.” That’s a pretty heavy load and one I’m not entirely sure I’m excited to tackle. I grew up, like many people I’m sure, with a reverence for doctors. Until recently, I would […]
“Do You Think You Can You Keep It Like This?”
I’m a fairly clean person. And, although I pride myself on squeaky clean bits’n pieces, it is not of a hygienic nature that I am speaking today. I’m a bit “Type A” when it comes to keeping my house neat and tidy. I’m not so much concerned with the nooks and crannies as I am […]
Friday Photo of the Week
For this week’s “Photo” I pulled out a previously unseen (by me, that is) picture obviously taken without my permission, approval or consent. This photo must have been snapped while I was throwing back a Xanax because there is no way on God’s green earth I would have EVER allowed my precious, innocent, fragile baby […]
The Dreaded Picture
I’m fairly certain that most everyone has experienced this at one time or another. How about you? Ever been featured in a photograph in a not-so-flattering manner? And upon discovery of said photograph a shock of shivers (and not the fun kind) trickle down your back at the realization that members of the public have […]
A Little Summer Fun
A couple of years ago we made a purchase that, at times, we have regretted immensely, and at other times we’ve declared it as The. Best. Idea. Ever. Jer and I, along with my brother and sister-in-law, bought a 25 year-old 19 ft Party Barge. For you non-nautical folks, that roughly translates to a busted […]
In the Kisser…
I have little doubt that the following information is new to everybody. I first heard about this particular debate a few days ago while perusing forums. The question was posed as, “Do you feel it’s wrong to kiss your kids on the lips?” Wow. Man, but there were some angry commentsout there. In fact, angry […]
A Colorado Road Trip: Part 6 ~ Home…and a very close call.
We had an amazing time in Colorado and were definitely saddened to leave. The weather was great, the sights scenic and the company splendid. Anticipating the long drive back to Oregon, our butt cheeks began screaming in protest before we even sat them down into the car seats. We had decided to wizen up a […]
