I have heard “Glory Days” no fewer than five times in the past two days. Is it a sign? Perhaps the universe is saying something about my impending 20 year high school reunion. Should I start reliving those glory days? Perhaps don a baby doll dress to wear with army boots? Spiral perm my hair? […]
Nicole’s Favourite Things, January Blues Edition
January 21, 2013 by 16 Comments
Last week I posted about being blue on Blue Monday, but today it was brought to my attention that TODAY IS BLUE MONDAY. But I was sad last week! I’m not sad today! How can it possibly be Blue Monday if I am not sad? I know. I know. It isn’t all about me. Maybe […]
Such a cliche

I don’t know if you could detect it, but when I wrote my last post, I was very low in spirits. One might even say that I was blue. I later realized that it was Blue Monday, the saddest day of the year! I was sad on Blue Monday! I’m a walking cliche. The tide […]

You know, I ALMOST stopped watching after Meredith’s near-death experience, and I ALMOST stopped watching when Denny had a recurring post-death role, and I ALMOST stopped watching when there was a hospital shooting – the swat team was right there, how did they not take […]
SANTA’S COMING (in less than three months)
September 26, 2012 by 12 Comments
Yesterday I kept hearing people say “It’s only three months until Christmas!” which got me to feeling like this: SANTA’S COMING! Of course, in three months from today I will be either a) taking down the tree and packing up the decorations because that is ENOUGH Christmas, or b) wishing I was taking down the […]
Back in business, baby.

“I’m back in business” Mark said the night before school started. You know how sometimes, just sometimes, you get a feeling about what your child will be when he grows up? I feel quite sure that Mark is going to be an engineer. If you know any engineers, or if you are an engineer yourself, […]
