October. The month of apple spiced candles and warmly colored mums. The official beginning of a guilt-free spree of purchasing Kit Kats and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (and then repurchasing because “Ummm…what happened to those bags of candy? Damn. When did my ankles start getting fat?” The trees begin dropping their brightly colored leaves. […]
Holy Slacker, Batman!!
Hello my friends! It is I, your resident “slacker” blogger. I’m not going to say that I can’t believe that it’s been almost a month since my last post. Because I can believe it. Every time I walk past my computer and say to myself, “Why are you not writing anymore?” and then continue to […]
**Crickets**
Um, hello? Hello? Anyone in this blog? **Crickets** Whew doggie, has it been quite a long time since I have stepped foot into this beautiful blog o’ mine. If I didn’t know any better I would swear that I had been transported to some alternate universe where time slowed to a fraction of its original […]
WHERE Have You BEEN???
I really wish I could say, “Well, dahlings, I’m so sorry I’ve been absent but I’ve just been on a FAB-ulous world tour and couldn’t spare the time to say hullo.” But, that would be lying. In fact, it would be more on par to say, “Well, dahlings, I’m so sorry I’ve been absent but […]
“Merry Christmas Is Over”
Anyone think there should be a holiday celebrating the end of a holiday? I believe most of mankind would benefit from a mandatory resting period beginning no later than the evening of December 25th, after the kids have been strapped down into bed, their bodies having begun withdrawal from 48 hours of sugar-induced hyperactivity. As […]
Mother’s Day
First of all, I would like to wish a Happy (belated) Mother’s Day to everyone! If I’ve learned anything as a mom it’s that the title “Mother” carries a very broad definition. There are many people out there who deserve recognition for being a loving care-taker who may have no traditional “children” to speak of. […]
Valentine’s Day
So, how did you celebrate Valentine’s Day? Was it a holiday filled with love, passion and romantic notions? Were there roses and little chocolate hearts gracing your bed pillow? Did your sweetheart whisper sweet-nothings into your ear pledging his or her undying devotion, romantic music playing in the background? Yeah, mine was almost like that. […]
Martin Luther King Jr.
Today, the country is celebrating a true hero, a man who recognizeda need to educate and advocate and a man who ultimately gave his life up to the fight for equality of all mankind. The man was Martin Luther King, Jr. For some, yes, this day may primarily conjure up thoughts of a paid day-off […]
It’s Getting a Little Crazy Up In Here
Things are starting to get a teensy bit looney in this house. We’ve been on Christmas break for a week and a half, we’ve celebrated the holiday with a whole lot of gusto and are now anticipating one overly long night to ring in theNew Year. I, for one, am quite ready for this whole […]
Let the Festivities Begin!
Hooray, it’s Christmas Eve! I can hardly believe that the hourly countdown has begun. The kids have already started asking me for updates as to how long they have to wait until Santa will arrive. It’s been what has seemed like a long time coming but the big day is finally within our reach! I […]
