I’m glad you enjoyed my last few posts — crazy things men say, crazy things kids say, and now this…yesterday’s Halloween-inspired drawing by my son. It either shows great intelligence and imagination or it’s just plain crazy.
(I don’t have any fancy photoshop tools, so I will have to explain the drawing below.)
The jack-o-lantern on the [...]
Out of the mouths of babes this morning:
T-Rex: Look! My weiner’s so big. Why does it get so big? It hurts because it’s so big. It’s feels like a rock. [Etc.]
I don’t know, sweetheart. I only know that it will likely rule your life and get you to do stupid things one day when it is [...]
WARNING: Profanity to follow, even besides tossing out terms like “limp lizard.” Read at your own risk.
I’m writing this because the 3 Virgos/3 Week Birthday celebration is now over for 2007. We held Drama Girl’s birthday party at a paint your own pottery place on Sunday. After our 2 hours were up, I left the [...]
Have you ever seen The Pickup Artist on Vh1? This reality show is yet another “tale of transformation,” touting that “for these eight lovable losers, ’socially awkward’ is the understatement of the year. And when it comes to this lonely hearts club, desperate times call for desperate measures.”
Desperate all right. Desperate for a slap of [...]
Well, no surprise I didn’t receive a call from “Wally of the Six Pack Abs.” This latest example seems to be going with 2007’s trend of unfulfilled promises and poor dating behavior: the friend of another friend’s friend who was “really interested” in meeting me and then never even bothered to send an email. The [...]
So I have a date tonight. Maybe. Or I might be blown off, and I don’t think I’ll mind too much if that happens. “Why?” you ask. Here’s the scoop:
A friend met this guy — we’ll call him Wally — while she and her husband were out and about shopping two weekends ago. In the [...]
I just have to tell you my neighbor is blaring some kind of AC/DC-inspired hard rock or heavy metal music [read: loud, unintelligible lyrics accompanied by heavy bass and annoying driving beat], which I can hear through the soundproof (if you’re deaf in one ear) firewall separating our units. He keeps screeching for effect, and [...]
Have you ever had “one of those days”? You know, the kind when people call you up with requests that have to be fulfilled within an unreasonable timeframe? The kind in which said people promise said requests to others without checking with you first?
Yes, of course you have — if you coexist with human beings.
I [...]
My writing pal Elizabeth Kann and her sister Victoria Kann wrote a fun children’s book, Pinkalicious, about a little girl who ends up with an acute case of pinkititis when she eats one too many pink-frosted cupcakes. My kids enjoy the story with its vibrant illustrations, so they were thrilled when I told them [...]
This Blog: Cloudy with no sign of inspirational ideas breaking through
The Novel that Seems Like It Will Never End: Partly sunny
Okay, now I understand this whole blogging slump-thing. I used to think, “Hey, why hasn’t so and so blogged in the last 2 days? What gives? Where’s the consistency?” Now I see how easy it [...]
