She loves each and every one as if it were her only one. She is patient with them, loving them for their unique personalities and for the blessings she considers each of them to be. Often, when you enter her home, there is chaos. Children running up and down the stairs, playing outside with the [...]
Someone please initiate a search party. I am officially lost.
Lost in a pile of antique glass bottles, old men's clothing and piggie banks from 1972 (coincidentally, the year I was born!). I have a box full of at least one hundred pair of earrings (from the 80s and made in Taiwan) and more books that [...]
That whole “Rise and Shine” thing was brutal. Vicious, and brutal. Beautiful Jessica has not yet faced the day when she woke up and thought “Ooo…I look like ASS this morning”. So of course, it stands to reason that she would be the catalyst of a great MEME for all of us [...]
…Kick em in the CHECKBOOK !!

In the wee hours of the morning (actually closer to 10 a.m.) I stumbled out of bed to find everyone had left for the day, and I was alone. Utterly alone. Except, of course, for the four cats, two dogs and various insects roaming around.
And Miss James.
She was waiting for me in the [...]
The other evening, as we gathered at a friend's house for game night, she issued a challenge to the 13 yr old: Do not say LIKE for the rest of the evening.
Meanwhile, the two adult women were re-enacting our Valley Girl days, spouting “Oh m'GAWD” and “Gag me with a SPOON!” and “Like TOTALLY” ad [...]
Sorry for the absence, but I have been up to my eyeballs in the pink, frilly world of Mary Kay. You see, the first two weeks of every month, I spend every waking moment gathering sales information, searching for appropriate graphics and content, and putting together newsletters for successful directors. They then send them out [...]
You opened your browser. You were searching for something. Something different. Something specific.
Leaving MSN in a blue-green fit of jealousy, you typed into that multi-colored search screen, sending into cyberspace your deepest, burning questions.
And now they're coming back to haunt you.
