The book fair is done! All loose ends are tied up; everything is finished until next November, when I will be relating my book fair sob stories once again. For those of you who have asked WHY I do this to myself, over and over like one of those fifty-shades types of girls, well, I […]
Being a MILF
January 29, 2013 by
I was driving home from yoga this morning and I heard “You Shook Me All Night Long” on the radio, and it occurred to me – not for the first time – that the line “knocking me out with those American thighs” had much different connotation back in 1980 than it would today. American thighs […]
Oooh, I hated the Colonel, with his WEE BEADY EYES

After my last post, I had a few people grumpily say There is NOTHING good about January, to which I respond, sunnily, There is only a week left! One week and then we are into February!

October 20, 2012 by
Well, hello there, Friday! It’s been a long time since I posted on a Friday evening. Normally I’m too busy sitting on the couch making out with a bottle of wine and watching Jeopardy or reruns of 30 Rock to think about writing anything.

When the cat’s away…
October 1, 2012 by
My husband is briefly out of town, and you know what that means! Salad for dinner, an episode of NYPD Blue, and going to bed at 8:45 pm! When the cat’s away, this little mouse is going to get her party on. A salad/NYPD Blue/early bedtime party. Yesterday I could feel a cold coming on. I […]
