I confess. It is August and I still have Christmas decorations up. However unintentional. Last year, when I was decorating for Christmas, I found a Christmas pillow – THAT WAS OUT ALL YEAR. The other day I was doing a hardcore cleaning because I was hosting a baby shower. This time I found a snowman [...]

Make We Laugh Monday: Tampon Crafts and a Nod to Kevin Bacon
I wonder if Kevin Bacon ever thought his name would be used in such close proximity and relation to the words “tampon crafts”. This post is really a second installment to yesterday’s post… the one about Kevin Bacon and the Easter Bunny. But it has less to do with ♥ Kevin Bacon ♥… and more [...]

The Confessional: A “Pet” Peeve. Literally.
I apologize in advance. What I am about to reveal may be controversial. And I mean no harm or ill-will. But. I can’t stay silent anymore. I have a pet peeve I cannot keep leashed-upin the doghouse anymore — Toy Dogs In particular, pimped-out, primped-out, hair-colored, necklace-and-sweater-wearing — toy dogs. And by “toy dog” I [...]

I Don’t Do Things With Guys For Money
Let me start from the beginning. Age 5. Competitive swimming. I blame that. I started competing with my local summer swim club (Go Dolphins!) when I was 5… until I was 17. The result? GUNS OR I may come from a long line of Irish arm wrestlers who drank from 100 pound steins. 2 birds… [...]

A Cowmonkey, a Cowdog, a Stroller and an Auction
Who knows what THAT title will bring from the interweb searchers. Aaanywho… Here’s a cowmonkey on a bullcowdog… Why a monkey cowboy on a bullcowdog? Because my friend Stacey sent me links to images of Darren Sproles (look him up, I’m tired), and in that email she added a link to this picture. Who does [...]

Are You An Aerobics Instructor Here? (Adventures at the Gym)
I have no idea. This is not me. Clearly. No pink stripes in the hair. Otherwise. Mirror much? I kid… I don’t kid. One day (Wednesday), I ventured to the gym. I am rather committed to the pursuit of fitness… for the next 8 days. It’s important to have a plan. You see, I am [...]
Cuz I'm a Woman
I Am Solid
Or so it’s been said. It all started innocently enough… Or. Well. I just… just… I guess I tend to put myself in situations that…. Erm… Here’s what happened. I was at the gym. Trying to get mah “fit” on. And you know me… I’m a social girl. Did I ever tell you I got [...]

The Newsman Freaked Me Out Today
You know how they are. It went something like, Olympic Fever has finally hit the Northwest! !!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!! I was working on taxes, so… I was already not in my right mind. Immediately I thought, Quick! Into the bomb shelter! Woo-hoo! I’ll make Olympic Fever Masks! Oh great. Another immunization. And then it hit [...]

Make Me Laugh Monday – Cuz If You Can’t Laugh… The McDonald’s Germ Tube
I almost made it. I was *this* close. I almost made it through my entire mother-of-preschoolers career (an almost 11 year stint), without having one of my offspring pee, poop or vomit inside any one of the quite possibly, MILLIONS of play tubes their young knees have crawled in. The Germ Tubes. But my kids [...]
