My best friend is getting married today! At the wedding, I will be giving the toast, since the best man wasn’t too thrilled at the idea, and clearly, we all know I’m a total ham more than willing. On a whim, I suggested to the bride that I should do an “everything I know about [...]
After gorging on takeout pizza last night, I was feeling guilty about the inevitable skyrocketing blood sugars I was sure I’d be dealing with over the next few days. I laid in bed, running through the mental list of everything I had consumed in the past 12 hours (oye.) and was just generally feeling sorry [...]
Waste an afternoon on Stumbleupon, and come across photos of baked goods until you want to lick the computer screen. Buy a boxed cake mix and focus on the awesome frosting. (The only changes I made to the recipe was to add more zest and juice of two oranges to the frosting. You’ll need more [...]
I only ever ran away from home once, when I was about 8. I don’t even know if it really counts, since I technically never left the property. The argument, whatever it was about, ended with my traditional threat of leaving, and mom offering to pack my bags. I remember packing two cans of cola [...]
We heard on the news this morning that there will be a frost warning within the next week. Apparently Mother Nature didn’t get the memo that it’s almost MAY. Seriously. I am hoping the sudden cold burst doesn’t kill my Easter lilies or crack my brand new bird feeder. Although, I have to admit that while [...]
After telling Ben about a writing prompt from last week, I asked Ben to name five things I do that drive him crazy. And then I asked him if he would be willing to write them down to share on my blog. Ben’s answers are in black, my comments after reading his answers are in [...]
I got our cellphone bill in the mail last week. Since I upgraded to an Iphone, I was expecting an additional charge for my data package. Which was on the bill. There was also another $40 worth of usage charges from my 17-year-old brother-in-law’s phone. I took a deep breath and called my service provider. Actually, [...]
When I was six or seven years old, I was accused of murder. By our crazy ass old lady of a neighbor. At my mother, who was trying to get stray newborn kittens out from under her stoop, like Crazy Lady had asked a week before. Unfortunately, her husband’s death had pushed her over the [...]
If I use my electric wheelchair to go down into town for some fresh air . . . am I going for a “walk?” These are the things they don’t teach you in Crippled Kid 101. Seriously.
Since Ben has (finally) decided to run with the fire company in the town that we live in, instead of the larger one 2 towns over that our cousins and friends run with, there have been a multitude of volunteer firefighters stopping by my house lately. ( Yeah right, I wish. I’d burn my own [...]
