Although it’s only May 30, summer has arrived in Houston. It kinda crept up on us this year, and is already holding us like that relative you only see every few years that hugs you too tight and too long, like you gave them a kidney or something; and what is that smell? I looked …(Read More)

Lately it seems all I’ve posted about has been sex, hot flashes and general weirdness. Today I thought it’d be great to just post something that would give everyone a warm feeling and put a smile on their face. Everyone except perhaps die hard cat people. So here’s a really sweet story for everyone to …(Read More)

While reading online this morning I found this article that was on Time.com. It had their picks for the 50 worst inventions of all time.  I think some of them are no-brainers: agent orange, red dye #2, subprime mortgages, DDT and last but not least SPAM- computer, not edible.

Well fiddle dee dee. It seems that once again I have offended some ladies sensibilities. This time it was with my possible choice of home based business. (I would have never assumed there were so many delicate flowers among us.) It wasn’t like I was suggesting that they go into it or anything. It’s amazing …(Read More)

For those of you who’ve been with me for awhile you know that my darling husband, Doug, has been pressuring me to get a “real” job.  Having been self-employed for so many years during which our income went up and down like the lines on an EKG, the thought of two steady incomes is very …(Read More)

I don’t consider myself an overly religious person, but I thought this sign was funny and since it is Sunday….  I’m a Methodist, which is to say I was raised Methodist. When I was in high school my friend Debbie said to me “You Methodists can do everything- you are so  lucky.” Her mom was …(Read More)

My dad used to say you “spit on your bib” if you made a mistake. Anyway, over a year ago now Nate and Amanda brought two dogs to our house that they found during a bad storm. Naturally we tried all avenues to find their owners, to no avail. Nate and Amanda were living with …(Read More)

Have you heard the crap that Hooter’s just spewed forth? A 2o yr. old Hooter’s girl that is 5’8″ tall and weighs 132 lbs. has been told that she needs to lose weight or face “separation” from the company. Although they don’t have published height/weight standards, they determined that she’s just too big for her …(Read More)

Betty, my MIL, has decided that she won’t travel anymore; at least not by herself. No this is Evelyn’s MIL, who is also called Evelyn and now, for the sake of clarity, will be called E2. I have been told by many people that E2 is a perfectly delightful older woman, who makes Martha Stewart …(Read More)
