Blargh.
Pin itI would like to interrupt regularly scheduled programming with…1/8 cup of cheese. I’ve been counting calories lately and my 1/8 cup of sharp cheddar cheese is very lovely and something I look forward to on my mix of egg beaters, red and green peppers, tomatoes and zucchini every day. Or at least every day [...]
iVoices Speak Out: The Royal Wedding
Pin itEngland’s Royal Wedding is this Friday… Which means there will be a cute new royal couple skipping about the royal castle! Always being on top of current events, the iViilage iVoices team saw an opportunity. An opportunity for dispensing WISDOM. Of course they asked me to be a wisdom dispenser. What? I have opinions [...]
On Chocolate Bunnies and the Easters
Pin itMay the sun shine warmly in your face and on your heart. And if that shining sun is so bright and so warm… That it melts the face of your chocolate bunny… Then smile anyway! Good golly, it’s still chocolate! May the sunshine brightly in your heart and reveal the blessings that fill your [...]
Don't Fret the Sweat
Pin itBody odor. There’s a reason perfumes and lotions are crafted to smell like roses or vanilla or coconut and not body odor. No one likes the smell of B.O. NO ONE. Body odor can start pretty young. As a parent, I found myself somewhat unprepared for the onset of body odor in my own [...]
A few words on (my) aging…
Pin itIT SUCKS. My ego suffereth. My poor, sparkly, aging ego… Now I understand why the age-ed tend to be grumpy —> AGING SUCKS —> hitherhencetofore —> MAJOR GRUMPAGE. I actually have quite a few years left before I officially enter what one would truly consider “old” and I already feel like swatting something with [...]
It’s been a little crazy around here.
Pin itFrom rehearsals (see above), to shows, to an extra-heavy workload (go figure and really I shouldn’t complain…), to field trips, to guilt for not volunteering at school regularly, to piles of laundry (clean and unclean) to errands and constantly packing and re-packing food/costumes for rehearsals/plays, did I mention workload?, and Lucy’s birthday, and the [...]
Hair and Such
Pin itPerhaps you have noticed a few changes around here? If not, that’s OK. There was one time I had asked my husband to get rid of his goater goatee, and he did and I didn’t notice for a whole day. Speaking of the husband, he is trying to make Jenny On the Spot faster [...]
Make Me Laugh Monday: Sure, I can laugh NOW.
Pin itSo. I think I start lots of posts with SO. I digress… Lucy got sick Saturday. I was going to write that she fell ill in the “late afternoon”, but hindsight is 20/20… and it was actually early afternoon she started exhibiting “sick-like” symptoms. Yadda, yadda, yadda… Fast food for dinner. Lucy ate 1/2 [...]
Not sure what to write about, so… let's go free-form!
Pin it“They” say one shouldn’t force it. If you don’t have anything to write about… then don’t. OK. . . . Anywho… My husband had the following conversation with Olivia (8) while in the car… Paul: Whatcha doing in the mirror? Olivia: Having a staring contest with myself… Olivia to her reflection: Shoot! You win! [...]
Photo Apps are Like Crack
Pin itLike Crack Cocaine, ya’lls. I suppose now I’ll start getting search traffic for “cocaine”. Oh well. I have been referred to for MUCH worse, so… Photo apps for one’s phone (iPhone) are like crack, except I don’t imagine my addiction to photo apps will leave me homeless, toothless and diseased… butidigress… However, not unlike [...]
