Halloween…my perspective

Happy Halloween!!!! This year, I stayed home and manned the door while David and Daddy did the door-to-door candy begging routine.  Brian had stayed home the last 3 years while I walked David around with some “partners in crime”. The first Trick-or-Treaters we got were really small neighborhood kids.  You know, the ones that are [...]

Parking and Speeding and Buses, oh my!!!

“WARNING, Will Robinson, WARNING!! DANGER!! DANGER!!” Rant ahead…whining, complaining, kavetching rant ahead. I think I’ve mentioned before that my son’s school really doesn’t have much in the way of parking.  Primarily it’s street parking along the perimeter of the school.  This year, it seems, that there are more, a record number, of parents driving their [...]

Are you a child of the 80′s???

God know I am!  I ran across this list and laughed so hard my sides split.  I am, most definitely, a child of the 80′s…and proud of it!!!  All that great 80′s music is programmed onto my iPod and I reminisce frequently. See how many of these you relate to: You wanted to be on [...]

A Failed Murder Attempt!

My “DARLING” hubby came soooo close…but not quite close enough!  I’m still here to tell the tale. It all started so innocently enough.  Just a normal Wednesday morning.  Brian arose as his alarm went off, and headed for the shower as he often does.  Only this morning, just one small change in his routine, set [...]

As well as some other friends that are running for various offices…but it [...]

Obama and Scrapbooking

So I was catching up on the blogs I like to read and found a link to a beautiful digital scrapbook.  This scrapbook, done anonymously, is really beautiful and really makes me feel like I know the candidate better on a more personal level.  Check it out here: http://www.obamascrapbook.com/index.htm

My Yeast Infection!

LOL!  No, it’s not that kind!  I wrote previously that I was going to start learning how to bake.  I started out trying to create a sourdough starter from scratch.  That didn’t work! Then, over the weekend I decided to make pizza dough from scratch.  I followed the directions to the LETTER!!!  But the dough [...]

Dear British Lady at Trader Joe’s,

I understand you were in a hurry today…we all are in a hurry these days.  But, I must point out that although there is an “Express – 15 Items or Less” lane does not mandate that all those customers with less than 15 items MUST use that lane.  You see, when I walked up to [...]

Crossing off an item from Life’s To-Do List

Something I’ve always wanted to learn to do is bake bread.  I had intended to do it last fall/winter, but the time got away from me and I never did get around to it.  I WILL do it this Fall! I finally broke down and bought this book.  It’s a book that has been on [...]
