It’s Friday, right? Yes. It’s Friday. I’m in that happy state of mind that occurs between Christmas and New Year’s in which I’m not one hundred percent sure of the day or what I’m supposed to be doing, but it’s FRIDAY. Yes. It is. It’s also time for the Boyhouse Year in Review! Political weirdness […]

Winter Solstice, a.k.a. The Day The Vitamin D Supplement Was Meant For
December 21, 2017 by 3 Comments
Happy Winter Solstice! As of today, we will have exactly seven hours and fifty-three minutes of daylight, which is NOT VERY MUCH. However, at least we aren’t in the Arctic! And days start getting longer tomorrow, so there’s that. Also! We are in the Final Countdown To Christmas, so there is much excitement around the […]
Miracle on 34th Street, the Costco Version
December 19, 2017 by 5 Comments
“Why? Why would you do that?” my husband asked me, looking at me like I had just escaped the asylum and was planning to sell all our possessions, move into a circus tent, and eat my own shoe. The shocking thing I was planning to do, in fact, was to go to Costco on December […]

A quick check to the calendar pointed to all of the above. But that was yesterday; what a difference a […]
It’s December; what’s your Tree Decorating Personality?
December 1, 2017 by 9 Comments
The other day my husband said that the month of November dragged and dragged and seemed to go on forever, and honestly, I felt like I couldn’t relate at all. November FLEW by for me, in that I keep thinking that it was just Halloween the other day, and now it’s December. I mean, I’ve […]
Airing of the Grievances, One Month Early
November 22, 2017 by 8 Comments
I know, I know, Festivus is on December 23rd, not 22nd, which means that there is one month and one day before the Airing of the Grievances and Feats of Strength, but Thursdays are impossible for me to write anything. Therefore, the Grievances Shall Be Aired Today. Of course, because it’s me, I have to […]
