So much going on in Mamaliciousland these days…teaching and busted pipes and insurance claims adjusters, oh my! Long, long stories, but for now I’ll just post somebody else’s words. I’ve enjoyed Billy Joel’s music over the years, but I’ve never given it nearly as much thought as the author of the following piece has. Honestly, [...]
It’s 9 degrees here in Pittsburgh today; the high is 18. In many places in the country, this might even be welcomed news, but to this native Floridian, I just can’t get over it. Been here a dozen years and…still.In my hometown of Jacksonville, it’s at least a comfy 42, with a high of 56! [...]
That disturbing line was spoken by a 14-year-old female character in a Lifetime movie, “She’s Too Young”, part of the network’s “Can You Keep A Secret Full Day Event” movie marathon airing today. I can’t think of a better way to spend 24 hours than having the crap scared out of me by countless tales [...]
Does this bother you? Interesting discussion about it over at BlogHer, including a response from Zappos’s CEO: Erin [blogger who knows CEO]: Your new marketing of the ‘Cease and Desist’ shirt is causing quite a stir, including with some women I know. Does the headline “Husbands Can Now Disable Their Wives’ Zappos Account” in anyway [...]
…I watch this. It never gets old. Beyonce, come get your sister. (Stick with it until the very end. It pays off.)
While my kids weren’t so into the Sesame Street boxed set, The Electric Company boxed set is in heavy rotation around here. Mini-Me reads at a high school level (seriously), but she still loves the sketches and the music. I like the trip down memory lane, and of course my secret crush, Morgan Freeman, [...]
In his defense, TechBoo now says he was sick with a cold and therefore light-headed when he committed this egregious error. But still. So, it’s New Year’s Eve, and we’re at the grocery store, mainly to get chicken noodle soup, orange juice and cough drops for the aforementioned cold. While we’re there, I also pick [...]
Warning: The following is an account of a New Year’s Eve “celebration” that was so incredibly dull, you should not read this while operating heavy machinery or your vehicle. Happy 2009! How do I know it’s a new year? Because I’ve been wrapped up in the annual “Twilight Zone” marathon since last night! I can’t [...]
So when I woke up this morning it was 9 degrees here. Last night, I discovered that my washing machine’s cold water pipe had frozen. So much for washing the comforter and other laundry I needed to do in preparation for my sister and niece’s arrival from Florida (yeah, we got that backwards). I prefer [...]
Conversation between MiniMe and BabyGirl in the car this morning: MM to BG: Do you remember that one Christmas when Mommy’s friend gave us that big bag with all those toys in it? You know, the crazy lady? I don’t remember her name. BG: Oh, yeah! I remember that! MM: Remember how big your eyes [...]
