In the interests of keeping it real, there are some things about myself I feel I must share. I got my hair highlighted yesterday. The stylist uses foils. The gray is coming in thicker and thicker, and pretty soon, I’m going to have to color the whole mop, because highlighting alone will not be enough. …
No, this post is not about me losing weight, more’s the pity. Image from here. My friend Anne’s shoulders are sprinkled with Golden Pixie Dust. Well, OK, they’re not, really. But she wins contests wherever she goes! Nearly every time I call her she is telling me about the latest giveaway she won. (And it …
There’s one born every minute. And no, I am not referring to a spike in the deer population. I reference, of course, that famous quote by P.T. Barnum, that great American showman, businessman and scam artist, he of the Ringling Brothers, and Barnum and Bailey Circus Fame. Barnum is the often quoted source of the …
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 …
Have you ever wondered how much Klout you have? Those who use Twitter will know exactly what I’m talking about, and if you don’t, I’ll try to sum this up succinctly, AND tell you a story in which you’ll get to laugh at my stupidity, and my vanity, all in one swell foop, as they …
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 …
You know, I can stand a lot of things. For instance, I can stand the fact that the flying experience has now been forever spoiled for the rest of us by the stupid terrorists. Flying USED to be fun. It USED to be an enjoyable, relaxing way to travel. But now, it requires trying to …
No, not THIS Pee Wee. Image from here. Once upon a time, about 23 years ago, and I really and truly am not making this story up, I was a newlywed. OK, I know that’s not that hard to believe. But hang on: it may take a while to get to the unbelievable part, but …
Trying to act nonchalant. See this woman? See what’s behind her? Yeah, at this particular moment, she was feeling pretty darn good about herself. She was thinking that she, for some reason, had been allowed to hit the jackpot. Have you ever been someplace, gone someplace, and known that you had risen above your social …
Yesterday, I read this verse from Isaiah, in regard to the Servant of the Lord (the Messiah): “The Sovereign Lord has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. The Sovereign Lord has opened my …
Our friend Steve is a true romantic. He loves his wife Annie with a love that is true, and burns more brightly every year. I don’t know exactly how long they’ve been married, but my guess would be well over 30 years. Yesterday, he sent my dear husband, the Big Bison, an email with a …
Somehow, this image qualifies as cute, funny, AND sad, don’t you think? Today, I very much enjoyed visiting what to me was brand new blog. I am providing a link to this blog, The Blog O’ Cheese: Cute, Funny, Sad: The Home Game because, as the blogger himself says, sharing cheese is a nice thing …
Grady, and my knees It may sound far-fetched, but it’s a fact. Grady, my fashion forward feline friend from Frisco (OK, I hate that term. He’s from SAN FRANCISCO, not (shiver) “Frisco”, but it was the “f” alliteration thing, and I succumbed to the temptation to add just one. more. “f:. FAIL.) is having an …
First off: a brief update. I didn’t win the blog contest. 🙁 But I DID want to take a moment to THANK YOU, all of you, who voted for me and expressed your support of my little dream. It was a wonderful experience in that it encouraged me to write more, and it encouraged me …
And you thought the first two words of this post were going to be: “….Me Crazy”. No, he’s actually driving! By himself. You can’t sue me, now. You have been warned. Holy cow, how did we get to this place??? Wasn’t it just yesterday I was picking him up out of the crib, and drawing …
