I take it BACK… I don’t want a message from EVERYONE who visits here… as seen in my spam folder when I logged on… only to find that four more bots have posted (BAH!) and left messages that were, well, incomprehensible.

Uncontacted
I find it quite remarkable that there are tribal units and small civilizations that have yet to be marred by modern society, corrupt politics, and text messaging. Recently, someone photographed what is believed to be one of the “untouched” tribes living in the Amazon Rainforest.
I guess I’m just used to seeing tribes dressed in a mix [...]

2-ply
It was inevitable. I should’ve gotten gas YESTERDAY because TODAY ALL of the area gas stations have adopted the policy that if you pay in CASH, that it’ll be CHEAPER than credit card. At my regular gas station, the difference was 8 cents.
Excuse me? What in the name of all that’s brown and mushy is [...]

Pictures, Photos, and Cake
You want to see the cake I made?
Here:
It’s OK… not at all like the ones I found online (the ones that gave #3 son the WONDERFUL idea to have mommy make a monster truck cake)…
Like this one…
OR this one…
OR even this one…
Mostly, because I was going by memory… and I thought that there’d be nothing [...]

Ripping the wings off flies
I’m EXHAUSTED. Today was #3 son’s bowling birthday party with his friends. (Ever gone bowling with a bunch of hyper 5 year olds and live to tell about it? Yeah, me either…)
First, I’ll back up to yesterday.
My son had this fantastic idea… to make a “monster truck” cake inclusive of a mud track (chocolate frosting) [...]

Flowing fast, hard, and free…
What I don’t like about being at home during the day is that when I have super fantastic news, there’s really no one to share it with because everyone I know works.
So, I will post it here for all to read (now or later)…
Not very long ago, I said to my husband, “If I do [...]

Time to switch things up
Every morning, without fail, I eat my breakfast while reading the local newspaper. Over the past few years, I’ve become a bit of a news junkie. (Actually, I like the comics and tend to go there first. Then, national and after that, local. I’m not much of a sports person, so I leave that for [...]

Politics and Religion
Recently, I was asked to participate on a joint-blog called Politics and Religion started by my friend, Summer Fever (which many of you know as Lisele aka LittlePinkHouse). Of course, I’m a line-leader hog, so I wrote first. (I blame my childhood for my constant need for attention…)
I’m not leaving my blog, though. This is like an [...]

More like a Monday…
Happy almost Memorial Day. As a former-but-sort’ve-still history teacher, I understand the significance of celebrating Memorial Day. My great-grandfather fought in WWI. My grandfather was a merchant marine during WW2. My father fought in Vietnam. I’ve met several WW2 vets who were once very cordial to me by granting me an hour or two to [...]

Ode to my Blackberry and Other Great Stuff
I still haven’t named my blackberry yet… and I’m open to suggestions.
I have, in the past few days, conquered my blackberry (or, believing I have mastered the basics)… and although at first, I was uneasy with it, I have now grown more than fond… developing a weird love for it. I email, text, use gtalk [...]

Pass me your firstborn…
Since tomorrow, I have to drive #3 son 40 minutes to the predetermined prek-end-of-year-fun-day, I decided to fill up on gas. (This is mostly because the mommy who was supposed to carpool with me hurt her knee and needs surgery. This leaves me to drive by myself, thus the necessity to take out a loan [...]

Oven Toasted Goodness
This damn cold is still lingering on and on and on… I’m impatient, have I mentioned that? I do not have patience when it comes to getting better, waiting for things, or going somewhere. My mother says that I need to get some patience… however, this is also the woman who, while standing in a [...]

On the Lamb
I am the shredded pork-making queen…
Yesterday, the inlaws came over for dinner in honor of #3’s impending 5th birthday (can you believe it??)… and I had this BRAIN storm on Friday that I would either slow cook brisket OR find a decent cut of pork and make shredded pork.
Usually, I slow cook the pork on [...]

Bend, tuck, and roll
Well… there’s an upside AND a downside to being sick.
The upside is that it doesn’t take much for me to fall asleep… for the most part.
The downside is that I break out into random temperature changes that result in shivering and spontaneous sweating.
There IS no middle ground, either, NOR is there mercy.
So, here I was, [...]

On the Up-low
Can you stand this… the self-assured, almost taunting smirk that Senator John Edwards wears mostly every day?
I can’t.
I admit it, I just can’t deal with that smirky face. And, it’s probably a good thing that he isn’t in the run for the presidency because I’d be too afraid that after having a 2-term president that [...]
