And Keeping It Stupid…

You know,  in my last post, I kept it real.  Despite the fact that in general, in life, I usually exercise better judgment, today, I’m staying with the theme: I’m keeping it stupid. And being the fashion maven that I am (not), I thought I’d mention that the morning after I posted that I FINALLY got …

Happy Birthday, Baby!

My little girl can get overlooked in crowd of kids where her brother hangs. She’s sweet as she can be, but much more retiring than her brother. In truth, she’s witty and warm, as well as being sugar and spice and all things nice. But this summer, she decided she wanted to enter the talent …

Off to College???

Ready to sink or swim? You decide. My little baby boy went with his Daddy yesterday to look at a college he is thinking he might want to attend next year. Wow. Mama’s had a little wake up call. As in, I think I’ve again been caught enjoying another one of my lovely sojourns in …

A Change is Gonna Come

It ain’t much, but it’s a little something. A little change for my blog. Last night I was checking out some local-to-me food blogs, and I noticed one on Blogger that had a “Print Friendly” button at the end of her post. I’d been looking for a gadget like that for my recipe posts, and …

Graduation Day

So, I told you it was coming, and sure enough, it did. No, I am not referring to Hurricane Irene. (Which, oddly enough,  I did not predict.) I refer to my husband getting kicked out of rehab. Cardio rehab. They like to call it Graduation Day. We like to call it: all insurance will cover. …

Happy 24th Anniversary to Us!

See the happy couple? They look so happy, don’t they? Happy, happy, happy. You’d think they were happily celebrating their 24th wedding anniversary, wouldn’t you? On their way to a less than happy anniversary dinner. Well, they were. And they weren’t. I started the day by knocking the very full Aeropress Coffee press that was …

What Smells Worse Than That?

Let’s play a game. The game is called, “What smells worse than that?” Ready? Here we go. When my son entered adolescence, he discovered a fragrance. A fragrance that is worn by most teenaged boys to cover up something pretty rank. The smell they are trying to mask is the smell of teen aged boy …

Storm O’er the Boonies

Seriously. You know that big storm system that blew across the US recently? On Monday afternoon, it passed through our area. The lightning strikes started popping like popcorn while I was on the phone with my friend, Anne. I had just mentioned to her that things were starting to get dicey, and I might need …
