…7. Complete
Done. Kaput. Over. Fini.
A good time was had by all — and thankfully no scary clowns were around for me to beat up in defense of my children’s sanity. But, man, am I glad this holiday is finished; it was wearing me out: attending fall activities, carving 3 pumpkins (last night), making costumes, trying [...]
Note to the Nice People Looking for Flavor Flav:
I do not know Mr. Flav personally, although it is true I wrote about him in one of my very first posts. I’m sure he’s very nice, clock charms and all, but I don’t have much more I can tell you about him. Sorry.
PS. Thanks for upping [...]
I took off of work yesterday and am at home again today. Over on the kitchen table is a roll of gray-silver duct tape, aluminum foil, scissors, tape, a bag and flexible aluminum dryer ducting. Over here at my desk I am surfing through my favorite blogs. In other words: I am procrastinating making T-Rex’s [...]
A world without glasses? Well, I mean MY world, not the world-world. Hey, it’s MY blog. My world. You may say I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one — so get over it.
I went today for a LASIK consultation and good news! I’m a candidate! So after my appointment next thing you [...]
I have re-entered the world of online dating, which I’ll tell you about this week. Oh, yes, plenty to say there, but I’m going to keep you waiting — mostly because it’s almost 8:00 and I haven’t eaten dinner yet.
In the meantime, I almost thought this email was some insanely bad proclamation of love from [...]
6. Crappy, Creepy Cinema
Yesterday Drama Girl saw a scary scene in a movie on the Disney Channel. Yeah, I know. Disney? Well, it doesn’t surprise me, considering every freakin’ animated story they produce includes the death of a parent or a sibling (Lion King, Brother Bear and Bambi*, oh my!) — which, BTW, [...]
We’re in heavy Halloween-prep mode here at OWS — on orange alert, if you will. (Thank you, that rolled right off my keyboard.) I like the spirit and excitement of Halloween — even the challenges (sometimes) — especially when you experience the season through a child’s eyes. I like to categorize our steps to get [...]
Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to you today for one purpose and one purpose only: to implore you to go back to the former daylight saving time schedule. You see, while I admit I’m a night owl by nature and look positively smashing by candlelight, I need you to light up my mornings before November [...]
Do you know a working mother who might like a little boost after an extra chaotic day? Are you one of these fantastic women*?
If you answered yes, then pick up a copy of Chicken Soup for the Working Mom’s Soul, a collection of thoughtful and humorous essays about the challenges of juggling family, careers and [...]
You may recall that, back in August, I was tagged to share 8 random facts about me. Random they were — and fascinating, too, especially the parts about the olive loaf, America’s Funniest Home Video rage, and primate social behavior, if I do say so myself. You may also recall from previous posts that I [...]
