This is almost too incredible to be believed, but it is true: Porn industry seeks federal bailout The best part of the article? Larry Flynt’s quote that “People are too depressed to be sexually active. This is very unhealthy as a nation. Americans can do without cars and such but they cannot do without […]
Short for Big Fat Liar. Why? Because at the crack of dawn (before that actually) Mister was leaving for work and said to me, “can you hang up my clothes that are in the dryer? Don’t forget!” Because the children are out of school today (three day vacation, heaven only knows why), I was fast […]
I was pulling into the convenience store this morning to get myself a Coke Zero (it has just been one of those mornings. The kind where I feel like a giant exhausted slug) when I noticed a big Doritos truck. I remember as a kid passing trucks full of potato chips and wishing that they […]
If you’ve got a houseful of bored people or just wish you lived someplace snowy, this is the perfect craft. You can’t very well go skiing on paper snowflakes but they add a nice wintery touch your house long after the Christmas decorations have been put away. They are also very addictive to make. Our […]
In case you’re new to this blog, I’m pretty religious. But I’m not goofy about it (I hope!) It’s a big part of my life so I talk about it here on my blog. And of course if it weirds you out you can unsubscribe. Or just come back when I write another snotty post […]
What is it this whole “theme for 2010” that is going around the blogosphere? Last year a few people were doing it: coming up with a theme word for their lives in 2009. Stuff like “excellence” or “positivity”. This year it seems like everybody is jumping on the bandwagon. I don’t know . . . […]
My kids started driving me crazy the day after school got out. There was the constant squabbling, playfighting, and watching each other play the wii for hours on end ( I loathe that, but it’s just so peaceful while they do it, that it’s hard to crack down and turn it off). Some people go […]

I just got back from the grocery store. I asked Mister to pick up some eggs last night and he did. Then he proceeded to use them all for breakfast this morning. I got breakfast in bed, so I can’t exactly be mean about it. But I was a little peeved about having to trudge […]
Time to dredge up the old wedding photo again. It’s my anniversary. Number 17 this year. Let me just state a few things about this picture: 1. I was 21. I may have looked 16, but I really was a grown up (legally. Emotionally I certainly was not. But nothing gives you a big, […]
I like shopping at the local grocery store chain called H.E.B. Their prices are decent, but the reason I prefer them over the national chains like Safeway or SuperTarget (although I do like SuperTarget) is because they have all sorts of local brands. Plus they have a huge assortment of Texas-themed products. If you need […]
To those of you who have been wanting to know how to make the white sandwich bread that I showed a couple of days ago; I have some good news and some bad news. First the good news: you can make this in a bread machine (well, the dough part, at least). Yay! I love […]
Since I have a few readers who are related to me and actually want to see pictures of my kids, here they are. Sorry everybody else. I know that Halloween pics are a big snooze-fest. (Many apologies to York. He went trick-or-treating with a friend and I forgot to take pictures before he left.) […]
