We went to an 80’s themed birthday party last night. Lots and lots of prep work to get ready. My handsome hubby researched his Billy Idol ensemble as if it were part of a case he was working on… very diligent and thorough. Many looks were represented, but I think my friend Connie had the […]

Oh, this one could really backfire….
I get it. Times are tough. Businesses are looking for ways to cut back, to save money. What used to be free to consumers now comes with a fee. I suggest the folks at Irish airline Ryanair do a serious cost/benefit analysis before implementing their plan to make passengers pay to use the on board […]
Your marketing plan? Not so good.
(click on photo for a better view) Really? A yard for sale? Will they deliver…? Is the house included, or is it just the yard…? Will they divide it up if I just want the plants and trees…? I am starting to wonder if this particular corner is the Bermuda Triangle of handmade signs. (This […]

Focus? Who needs that?
This? This is not the face of T-Ball. This is the true face of T-Ball.
Jen Lancaster is coming to town! I might just pee my pants, I am so excited!
Jen Lancaster is my favorite author. OK, I have many favorite authors…. but she’s my favorite contemporary, acerbic, non-fiction author (why get all nit-picky about it?) The fabulously funny, smart ass, wine swilling, Jen Lancaster is going on a book tour for her fourth book, Pretty In Plaid. Her last book tour had her making […]
Funny, I don’t remember getting hit by a bus….
Conner just came home from school. He showed me a scrape on the back of his leg that looks like tire tracks. Conner: “I got another scrape on my leg.” Mom: “How did that happen?” Conner: “I don’t know. I don’t remember anyone, like, driving over my leg or anything.” Mom: “Well, that’s weird. Try […]
Driving me up the wall. Really.
Scene: morning; our living room. Mom: Grant, please go take off your pajamas, get dressed and put your pajamas back in their drawer. Grant: OK (exits, stage left.) A few moments go by. Mom: Grant? Did you get dressed? Grant: Not yet. Mom: Get dressed please and put your pajamas away where they go. Grant: […]

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition came out last week. The first man in the house to grab it out of the pile of mail? Grant. I think he prefers the back cover to the front cover though…
