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 […]
The perpetrator (also a victim of his own crime): Goodbye hair. We will miss you!
Just so you understand where I’m coming from, I was born and raised in Detroit. My father was born and raised in Detroit. He worked for Ford for most of my life. I have many memories of going down to the huge, ancient Triple E building (where the engineers worked) and feeding the ducks in […]
It was Mister’s birthday last week. The poor guy is just dying because he is in his forties. I know! It’s super old (just kidding. I’m only a year and a half from the big four-oh myself). I wanted to make his birthday really special so I gave him the best present I could think of […]
This girl, my oldest child, turned fifteen a few days ago. The ultra weird thing is that I remember being fifteen. I remember it quite well. My fifteenth year was the one when my relationship with my mother reached an all-out toxic point and we mutually agreed that it would be better for me to […]
You guys! How could I almost have forgotten? This week is my two year blogiversary! I can’t believe I’m still around writing all this crap. I guess I am not a quitter. Actually I have the opposite problem; I stick around long after I should have gone/quit/stopped. Which is good news for my husband, […]
I’ve been devoting all morning to these. They are totally not worth the effort, by the way (but let’s hope the third graders in Arabella’s class appreciate them.) In case you’re super insane and want to make these, here is the easiest way to do it: –make a white cake mix (I usually substitute melted […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]

You guys! Last weekend was one of those times when everything stacks up and crushes me near to death. It’s all I could do to keep breathing til last night. First of all, it was my anniversary. Nice, pretty mellow. But still it’s a whole evening when I had lots of other things to do. […]
I may or may not have announced on Facebook a couple of weeks ago: “If you post pictures of your Elf on the Shelf I will unfriend you for the month of December.” Partly to be funny, but partly out of spite I felt I needed to issue my warning. Some people like this “tradition” […]
