This is a PSA- For those of you who must know these things- This is National Ice Cream Soda Day. Personally, I cannot understand the allure of these concoctions. It seems to me like a waste a perfectly good soda and scoop of ice cream. It is vanilla ice cream though, of which I am …(Read More)

The first big push of the Census is over so Doug has a week or two off. While we were channel surfing last week we saw Raquel Welch on Oprah. I hadn’t seen her in awhile. He said “Man, she looks good, really good. How old is she?” Of course at that point I felt …(Read More)
I had a pedicure yesterday. I splurge on those in the summer since I wear flip-flops about 80% of the time. I never had a real hang up about my feet. They were always just feet after all and I always kinda liked the way mine looked. I wore a size 6.5 shoe when I …(Read More)
Apparently Doug fell pray to a pusher, disguised as a kindly old lady. She said “Have a taste honey. A little won’t hurt you.” He knew that he shouldn’t; but he did it anyway, lured by the memories of how good it used to be. It was all downhill from there. He lost all willpower …(Read More)
Although I’m considered to be a good artist, I’ve always been envious of people who can work in 3-D. I can see things well enough; if I couldn’t I couldn’t draw or paint them. But bringing that same subject to life in 3-D? You might as well ask me to get teach physics or dunk …(Read More)
Today I found one of those little orange cards in my mailbox. Over decades I’ve come to realize that these cards rarely bring good news (at least for us) so I generally get a sinking feeling when I see one. But today, my assumptions were proven wrong. The little orange slip brought great news. I …(Read More)
I’ve always considered myself pretty opened minded. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that statement. However, I saw something on TV this morning that even had me wondering WTF were these people thinking. It seems that the school board in a small Cape Cod town has voted to give free condoms to their students- …(Read More)
OK, I admit it. I’ve been moved for almost 3 months and stuff is still not put away. I still have some boxes to go through, especially in the rooms I’m not in all the time. I’m in our home office now, AKA extra bedroom, AKA barf central after yesterday. The pack is always with …(Read More)
I was awakened to the lovely smell this morning; and it wasn’t Folgers in my cup. It was poop. The smell was overpowering. The pack was still safely tucked away each in their own crate which were at least 35′ and 1 closed door from where I was laying. I’d always heard that a dog wouldn’t “go” …(Read More)
For awhile now, people have been asking me for a photo of myself; something other than my Brownie photo- which I think is still my best photo by the way. Anyway, I’ve dug around and decided that I can let the world see this one, I guess. You know, sometimes when you see someone for …(Read More)
