I’ve had a few days to absorb the shocking deaths of Farrah “Hairflip” Fawcett(-Majors), Michael “Ooh oh” Jackson, and Billy “Oxyclean” Mays… I’ve come to a stark revelation…
I’m EFF’G tired of hearing about Michael Jackson… his children… his entire crazy-and-screwed up family… his empire (or lack thereof)… his debt… his issues… and the controversy: did [...]

Fallen
So, yesterday was something else, huh? All in the course of a few hours, my childhood was marred with the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. And, since then, I’m having a flashback from several years ago when Mother Theresa died and was overshadowed by the sudden death of Princess Di.
Think about it for [...]

Wait… er… why?
Ok, so my friends and I have been discussing gender discrepancies lately and I wanted to see what you all thought about it.
The Witch Trials… occurred in Europe and the American colonies… a variety of times between 1400 and 1800. In Europe and its colonies, according to historian Eric Foner, “witchcraft was punishable by executioin” [...]

Bum-a-dee-dee
Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads (and single moms because they deserve another holiday)…
Nothing much to report other than yet another day of shitty weather in Jersey. Rain… rain… clouds… rain… threats of flooding around the state… rain… lightning and thunder… or was that fireworks that I heard… but, then again, who shoots [...]

She’s the bomb-diggity
I get this HUGE envelope from the college yesterday. My husband made this crooked smile and said, “I think your contract is here.”
Silly rabbit… contracts aren’t that big.
“It’s probably my student evaluations,” I said while ripping the big white envelope open. And, low-and-behold, that’s exactly what the were. This time, however, I know how to [...]

Raising up from the dead…
I just posted at the politics and religion page. It’s been EONS since I’ve posted there… but, as it is almost “officially” summer for me (after tomorrow), I thought it’d be nice to start that up again.
We shall see…

No more teachers’ dirty looks…
When is school going to END already?? Geeez.
My older kids finished last Thursday. Friday we had both the high school AND kindergarten graduations. Yet, the little kids STILL have school until the 18th.
We woke up late this morning… just like yesterday. I’m in “summa mode”, people. My school’s been out since mid-May and I’ve been [...]

starting fresh
I’m turning a leaf, of sorts. No more familial bitching. I need to get over this frumpity-frump-frump mood I’m in.
Color me different. I need to return to humor, its more fun.
About 30 seconds ago, I walked into the bathroom (the window faces the driveway) to see if my husband was home yet and before I [...]

Revelation Revolution
Ah. I think I just exhaled for the first time in weeks.
My parents just left to GO HOME… we weren’t meant to be close and cuddly. That’s for sure.
And, the department chair at the state university who hired me for last fall sent me an email explaining that he can’t afford to give me classes [...]

The peace before the storm…
I’m sitting here while #3 son is getting dressed for school and it is quiet. Not deathly quiet, but quiet. I can hear #3 singing and making car sounds while he’s getting dressed. Occassionally, the sound of a car passin through puddles and over wet leaves seeps through my screen door into the kitchen, where [...]

Stimulus package
I had HOPED that once my parents got here, that they would help me out.
HA hahahahahaaaaaa ha!
Nope.
Thursday, dad made a MESS of my kitchen making sausage and peppers (that I bought) and on Friday, amidst the chaos of TWO graduations (#3 son and #1 son), my inlaws showed up and my house was filled with [...]

Rain, rain go away…
Tomorrow is #1 son’s high school graduation and, as of now, there’ll be thunderstorms. What’s this mean? We won’t know until 1-1/2 hours before the ceremony if they’re going to have it inside or outside. So, we don’t even know who can go yet as the school only gives out a small amount of tickets… [...]

All quiet (so far) on the homefront
In preparing for the birthday party, I had opted to make cupcakes instead of the racetrack cake because, frankly, I’m tired, bloaty, crampy, and cranky. The last thing I needed was an uncooperative cake in the humidity of what is New Jersey.
Anyway… by Thursday night, I was manipulating unassuming white frosting in an attempt to [...]

Suck it up
Tomorrow is #3 son’s birthday party… I sent out the invites about 2 weeks ago (I know, I broke the invite rules)… and wrote that the RSVP was for this past Tuesday (1-1/2 weeks after the invites went home).
Does ANYONE know what RSVP stands for anymore? “Répondez s’il vous plaît”, or “please respond”, still eludes [...]

Twit it already
Yeah, how come when I was on Twitter several months ago, Twitter was just “another” chat thing… however, Ashton Kutcher Twitters about having a bowel movement and all of a sudden it’s a celebrity-endorsed thing to do. Geez people, isn’t anything sacred anymore? Let the peasantry have SOMETHING that they can keep, unfettered and unmolested JUST to [...]
