There are THREE things I want to talk about in this post: the excessive use of CROCS as acceptible footwear, the shock I felt when I saw Hillary stumping for Obama, and text messaging.
When we were in Tenn-eh-OHBYGOLLY-see a few years ago, I first noticed people proudly stomping around in rubber clogs. In fact, I [...]

What I (don’t) like about you…

One, Two, Three… Wha..?
Day 2 no kids. Yesterday, while my husband was at work, I tried to take advantage of the time I had alone by starting to work on my lesson plans for the fall.
WRONG-O
My wonderfully adept computer decided to tard out on me… meaning, it froze, locked up, crashed, and hummed the tune of “Whistle While [...]

Why it bothers me
I get annoyed when…
a politican who has lost, starts (and continues) to publicly pressure the winning politican to pay his/her campaign debts.
pregnant women are murdered.
children are murdered by their parents or BOYFRIENDS of their mothers.
criminals go free because of over-crowding in prisons.
criminals are released after a shortened sentence because they behaved in prison… only to commit another [...]

My Homage…
…to the late, great “throw it out there and let them stew on it” comedian, George Carlin, who died at the age of 71 from a heart attack.
I shall miss you so… for your seven dirty words, “What am I doing in NJ,” and how you complained about the lack of eyebrows on cats and [...]

Oh yeah, I get it… NOW
The following is NOT a dramatization. It is, in fact, a true event that happened today with real people. However, in the interest of personal privacy laws and such, I will change the names of the participants.
This morning… not a typical Friday, by most accounts.
*Yawn*
I woke up at 7:30am with the intent to exercise for [...]

One more for the home team
I have a major pet peeve… I hate to be guilted into going to a “party” that requires guests to buy something. If you want me to come over and hang out, then say so. Don’t use the “party” ruse to make me buy something so that you can get a free candle. I’ll BUY [...]

Just like it…
There are a lot of uncertainties in life — jobs, mates, living arrangements.
There are also a lot of certainties — taxes, bills, debt, semi-polluted air, skunks.
Today is day 3 of my sweating-til-I-die routine of cardio and stretching exercises. I’m a person who likes immediate gratification. I step on the scale daily (yes, I realize I [...]

Soap me up, Scotty…
Day 2 of exercises from the DVD with skinny, happy people telling me to lift that leg higher, reach that much further, and bend down to touch my what…?
I’m not lying when I say that the DVD is kicking my ass. My entire body HURTS, including several places that I didn’t realize I still had. [...]

Purple Cotton, Yellow Ficus
Summer vacation was ALWAYS the most sacred and holy time of the year… when kids of all ages get to run free and have fun until the sun sets. Swim during the day, let the sun bake your skin (well, minus the fear of UV rays and skin cancer), play or ride your bike until [...]

Holy Summer Vacation, Batman!
This will be short… and I apologize. If I have more free time later, I will be back to add more.
And, so that you all know, I will not be updating diaryland in order for readers FROM d’land to get an update about my posts. I did it at first so that my d’land friends could find me, [...]

Cheating, Peaking, and Smelting
Don’t worry. I’m not in a deep funk brought on by my last post. I’ve been supa busy… this week is the LAST week of school for my kids and my two older boys are taking finals.
Monday, I had to run out to the store to get lunch food because #2 son brought home with [...]

AAAAArgh
Ever feel angry at your child because he/she is just plain lazy?
I’m frustrated, aggravated, stressed, and angrier than a … than a … Hillary Clinton supporter (sorry, “badger in a snake pit” didn’t sound like something a Jersian would say… unless they’re from South Jersey, but even then I think it’d be a long-shot).
My son, [...]

Rotting Eggs
I went to that big food store Friday night to buy chicken and other foodstuffs for the birthday lunch that I held for #2 son. When I opened it at home last night to marinate it, this stench filled my kitchen… the stench of ROTTING EGGS.
I have to admit, I am a very emotional person [...]

Just a second
If I could throw in T.G.I.F. and mean it, then I would. However, with me not working (today), Friday doesn’t mean as much as when I did work. Therefore, this is what *I* get to look forward to today, tomorrow, and Sunday.
Today: make brownies and possibly the cake for #2 son’s birthday lunch on Sunday. Did [...]

Cupcakes and Poop
My kids did it again. After a month of being a cat-mommy, there have been several times in which my approach to the bat cave has been more of a dry-heave-gag than earnest anticipation. Why? Because, my cat’s poop is vile.
What bothers me the most is that I’m CONSTANTLY telling someone to scoop the poops out DAILY. Before [...]
