Seriously? Apparently, the 3rd in line to the British throne was incognito for 10 weeks… without even the wolves in the media picking up on him in cammo? I find that amazing. Maybe it’s because we’re so totally focused on Iraq that a royal fighting on the line in Afghanistan just flittered past us.

Psst… Prince Harry is in Afghanistan

Yellow Pig
Aside from the drama at my house, there are some things that defy explanation:
Why someone would sign on to a show like SUPERNANNY or WIFESWAP and then complain and pitch a hissy-fit when they are told that their lives need to change.
How the change in discipline and education have produced lazy, nonproductive, and ignorant people.
Why [...]

The girl’s home
We picked up our dog last night, all groggy and smelling like peepee, still having the catheter in her front leg in the event we had to rush her to the PET ER (that I’ll get to in a moment). The other vet, who was on duty when we arrived, said to watch her breathing [...]

Ugh
What else can I say? I apologize for my potty-writing from yesterday, it was unnecessary. Just be assured that I rarely if EVER drop the f-bomb in real life, and if I do, I whisper it.
But, today there’s something else going on…
A little while ago, I received a call from the Vet. My dog went [...]

Slap-Diddy
If I were to create a nickname for myself, that is neither reminiscent of my high school era or a modified version of my given name, then I’d be Slap-Diddy. It makes absolutely NO sense and is sort’ve fun. After the second time, it wouldn’t be funny any longer.
My writing anniversary is in 14 days. [...]

Stupid is as stupid does…
Most people, with the common sense of a squirrel, know that nothing good can come of swimming with sharks, especially when the person swimming is flagging bloody chum.
Today, I feel more relieved than I did yesterday. My online banking thing is still quirky, but it should settle down in a few days when all of [...]

Mess with the bull and you get the horns
(Note: This entry WILL be containing various offensive words and multiple combinations therein. If you don’t want to read past the angry words to the context of my entry, then have a nice day.)
Last night, around 11:30pm, after my husband logged onto my laptop to balance the checkbook, I hear, “Uh, did you take [large [...]

Festooning Ballooning
I’m in the mood to play trivia. I should be doing things around here, however, for the moment… I’m not.
If you want to play, leave your answers (with the corresponding numbers) in my comments. I’ll give it 24-hours before posting the answers. Good luck, and have fun.
What famous document begins: “When in the course of [...]

I did not exhale…
First and foremost… I want to wish my #1 son a VERY happy 17th birthday. Secondly, a hardy congrats on passing his driver’s test.
Today, after dropping #3 son off at preschool, I came home and had #1 son drive me around for 45 minutes as I gave him orders (left here, right there, stop, k-turn, [...]

Hardcore editing
Well, true to form for a Monday, it rained. A lot.
I draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagged myself out of bed and for what? A 90-minute drive IN the rain with a nervous 16-almost-17-year old to get him fitted for a blood pressure machine that will, inevitably, squeeze the living bageebies out of his arm for 24-hours. (Which, of course, [...]

Good year 17
I’m exhausted. I’ve spent the ENTIRE day preparing food for #1 son’s birthday party tomorrow. In fact, I came up with a creative idea for his birthday cake, which is not technically a cake but two round swirly brownies decorated to look like car tires with little road signs decorating the platform.
I ran out of [...]

Fiddle-de-dee!
I just completed the book, Rhett Butler’s People by Donald McCaig. Ok, I admit it, at first I was a bit bored… to say the least. However, as the book progressed, it began to take a form all unto it’s own… complete with parallels to the BEST damned book in the history of books, Gone [...]

WUFF
Yesterday, a woman called me and asked me to tutor her son. Apparently, she saw my computer-generated “HIRE ME, I TUTOR” sign posted on the bulletin board of the local food store.
So, provided the weather isn’t ghastly (we’re due to get 1-2 inches of snow and ICE… which pales compared to weather in other parts [...]

My recommendations
To pay it forward, I am passing on the
to the following ladies:
Poolie: She’s always been classy, even while wearing clown shoes. I’ve known her for several years and she’s been nothing BUT great, funny, and a pleasure to know. Aside from that, she makes the BEST piraty soap!
Brightopal: Again, I’ve known her for years as well and had [...]
