Every year on my birthday I like to pig out. I plan the whole day around all the glorious food I will eat. I have to narrow my restaurants down to two choices (lunch and dinner. Breakfast is, of course, bacon, cookies and candy). I just love eating delicious food until I’m stuffed. It is […]
You know what that means? It’s the last day for your Peanut Butter shopping spree. So far we have a couple of newbies joining us: Suzanne (who is already on the ball and has gotten her oats and PB) Heather (the only one who can complain about not having enough space for food storage since […]
We haven’t had Fess-Up Friday in quite a while. Have y’all missed seeing the shady underbelly of my life? Well, it doesn’t get much shadier than this: my sofa, under the cushion. I was looking for stray kids’ socks (where have they all gone????). You know that the sofa is the Bermuda Triangle of the […]
Ada’s favorite movie is American Legends, the Disney collection of shorts about Johnny Appleseed, Casey Jones, Paul Bunyan and my favorite, John Henry. I’ve seen this DVD about 100 times at least, but each time I cry when I watch it. When the workers are wondering how they can build their railroad and John Henry […]
I am completely and thoroughly sick of my workout music. So I am imploring you for some new tune ideas. I pretty much like every genre of music (some more than others, of course. I have everything from rap to bellydance music). My only real issue is that I don’t want recommendations for any top […]

During this magical time of year I have several thoughts that keep running through my head. Most are not important (natch) but they must be shared. Consider it my Christmas gift to you. “Jingle Bell Rock” makes me want to slit my throat. “Jingle Bells” is almost as annoying; fortunately it’s a dumb song so […]

I posted over at Segullah today about Food Storage. I’m going to put my post up over here too, because this coming Monday is going to be the grand kick-off of Jennie’s Food Storage Item-of-the-Week and we might need a little motivation. I did this a couple of years ago and people are still asking […]
Mister owns a truck. It’s not the hugest truck but it’s big. Big trucks are fine for the country or even the suburbs but notsogreat in downtown areas. He’s cursed it when he’s worked downtown because it’s rather like being an elephant in a movie theatre. It’s simply too big. Parking is a nightmare and […]
Good Gravy, the last few days have been crazy. When did summer get so busy? (Answer: this week.) I thought it might be easier to explain things as story problems, although I always hated them when I was in math class. Instead of figuring out the dumb problems, I always got all existential instead. Why […]
As my children get older their age gets more disconcerting. Not that I don’t like them getting older–I do. It’s much more fun than I thought it would be. The day you get to show Pride and Prejudice to your daughter–and have her like it–is a great day, indeed. The thing that is freaky about […]
