It’s Pyjama Day at the boys’ school today and – this may not seem significant to you, but it IS – Mark is wearing pyjamas! Not once has Mark ever worn pyjamas on Pyjama Day. He has always preferred to wear just regular clothes, despite the pyjama clad children everywhere. His refusal to conform to […]
I’m so excited! And I just can’t hide it! I’m about to lose control and I think I like it!

I’m a whirling dervish of excitedness today because it’s my husband’s work party tonight! Squee! I have a new dress and everything. I know a lot of people hate going to their spouse’s – or their own – work parties because, yawn, boring. And don’t get me wrong, I’m sure this party will also be […]

Yesterday as I was driving the kids to school, Maneater came on the radio. You know it’s going to be a great day when Hall and Oates is on the radio! Oh oh here she comes. Watch out, boys, she’ll chew you up! Oh oh here she comes. She’s a MANEATER. Now THAT’s what I […]

I may have mentioned this before. I’m not going to bore you with the details, but I will say that, as I […]
Here Comes Santa Claus!

It’s snowing right now, big huge flakes that are sending the city into a panic, traffic-wise, as always happens for the first serious snowfall. DRIVE SLOW, HOMEY. I should be more irritated with the snow, but it gives me an excuse to stay home and drink hot beverages, rather than take a trip to the […]

Few things, I find, are more offensive and soul-destroying than trying to find parking in the busy Costco lot and then finding some spots, only to discover at the last minute that there are several giant carts stranded in the vacant parking spots, the vacant parking spots that are mere steps from the parking lot cart […]
