Is it just me or has the whole world gone crazy for eyelash extensions and coloring? I’m hearing about this stuff all over the place and it’s not cheap. I don’t get it; eyelashes are just a thin line of hair. Yes, they might emphasize the eye but I can think of a dozen things […]
Would somebody grab this friggin’ turkey before I drop it???!!! Mmmm, rolls. My favorite thing to eat. Pie. One of many. I was so excited about the food situation I forgot to take any more pictures. It was one of our tastiest Thanksgivings, though.
I’m completely shocked that I can be the mother of a teenager! Yesterday was India’s 13th birthday. How did that happen? She’s a very young 13–no teenage snottiness or histrionics. (How young is she? She asked for, and received, dragon legos. Legos!) Let’s keep our fingers crossed that she stays pleasant and sweet! If you […]
We’re back on with Makeup Monday. Sorry I missed it last week. I had something important happening but I’ve already forgotten what. This week we’re going to be talking about mascara. I have to be truthful here; mascara is not that big of a deal to me. I have dark hair and decent eyelashes so […]
Finn is nine and loves taking pictures. A lot of the time they are ugly and weird self-portraits (which I don’t know about til I go to download my pictures and there they are). He can also do a pretty decent job when he wants to: Do I dare give this child his own camera […]
It’s time we sat down and had a chat. You know you’re not getting any younger, right? Even if you’re 22, you know your lovely, wrinkle-free skin won’t last forever. The older you get, the more important nice skin becomes. So here’s what you need to do: Stay out of the sun. I know, I […]

(This picture captures her personality perfectly) My mother, known by the grandkids as “Boppie”, just left after a two week visit. She spent a lot of her time doing this: (otherwise known as finishing up my sewing projects. Although during this visit I think she was stuck making a couple of Halloween costumes.) She is well […]
A couple of weeks ago one of my readers,Tiffny, pointed out that my blog has been really gross lately; weevils, lice, rats . . . Yep, I’m most definitely guilty. It’s a strange thing when you blog; there is the group of bloggers who feel like they should present a… Read More If you are reading […]
I have straight hair that rarely gives me any trouble. I always wished it were curly, but it isn’t and I’m learning to accept that. It used to be rather thick but is also baby fine. Now it seems that my hair isn’t quite so think any more (Am I actually going bald? I cannot, […]
I’ve done it again. I’ve managed to lose something important. I don’t know how I can misplace every receipt that I MUST keep, but I have a whole purse filled with receipts from buying Mountain Dews at the 7-11. As of last month I am the owner of a 24×30 print of an ugly tree […]
Does any parent ever get used to their child growing up? When I think of this sullen little girl who rarely smiled (but also rarely cried) . . . . . . it’s hard for me to imagine that that solemn little baby is now a spunky, laughing, opinionated big girl who is turning nine […]
This is your last day to get your oats! (Unless you shop on Sunday; in which case you probably wouldn’t really be too concerned about the whole food storage thing.) Don’t put this off til next week! You’ll be sorry if you do! (I’m pretty much the queen of procrastination and it really never pays […]
I noticed this ad on some site I was visiting and it caught my eye. It’s distasteful on so many levels. Obama has asked mothers to go back to school? Really? I don’t recall hearing that anywhere. And why are we supposed to be going back to school? So we can try to find employment […]
