Not So Much – The Easter Bunny
Pin itApparently, OUR Easter Bunny is not so bright. He left all his packaging in our trash can. He left the extra candy just sitting out in the open… OUR Easter Bunny must’ve missed the Easter Bunny training chapter titled: “Stealth and Deception: The Easter Bunny’s Most Crucial Skillz”. My eight year old son found [...]
My "Baby"
Pin it My Dearest Lucy Jean, Look at you,3 and independent. “No, I do it Mama!” Girl, girl, girl… You are a hard worker, and most things you want to do “,by mysewf!” Well, unless it's something you don't want to do by yourself, then you just won't, or you will fight all the way [...]
Party On
Pin it Hey party people! If you grabbed your drink and danced under the disco ball 3 posts ago – welcome back! Have a few more strawberries, and plop yourself on the couch. I need to go get some more ice… If you have just gotten here for the party… go here and here. I [...]
Random Pieces
Pin itI just have bits of things floating in my head. Some folks may think this fact clearly illuminates my need to be institutionalized, while others (in the medical community) would simply call them by the names my alternate personalities have given them – Eugenia, Felicia, Josephina Guadalupe Maria Carmen de la Cruz, Southern Bell, [...]
A wave of relief
Pin itsettled into my soul. I saw the flowers from across the store and realized they weren’t Valentine flowers! Just spring… Yay! Another holiday gone. Pressure – poof! Met/unmet expectation – poof! Another something to spend money on – poof! Ah, the goodness of nothing. I love “nothing”. And then. And then… I rounded the [...]

More complaining.
Pin itI prefer to call myself a “realist”, though my husband would call it “pessimism”. And that’s because he is so optimistic. (How optimistic is he???) He is so maniacally optimistic that if he were on the edge of eternal dehydration in the desert – he would actually believe that a cloud would see his [...]
The last time I won something REAL
Pin itwas in, like 8th grade. I submitted (via my teacher) a written essay about air love gym socks something to the local Rotary Soroptomists someone. I’m sure it was impressive and inspiring and under 150 words. I got first place and won eight whole dollars. Now back in 1987, that was big. BIG. You [...]
I put the stamp pad away.
Pin it I really did. But it appears I didn’t put it away ENOUGH (read: seal it in duct tape, lock it in a fire safe, and drop it to the bottom of the Mariana Trench). At least it wasn’t permanent ink. Bookmark on Delicious Recommend on Facebook Share on Linkedin Share with Stumblers Tweet [...]
Just Say "No!" to Dressing Rooms
Pin itI headed to a local running store today… I needed some beverage enhancement, and stumbled upon a “20% off all apparel” sale. Yip! I moseyed, whilst the Luc-meister moseyed – she spent quite a bit of time perusing the wall of “essersize shooooes”. You may be aware she has a “thing” for shoes. I [...]
