It’s always something… My Dad has stage 4 cancer. It’s not a good prognosis. My mom is losing her lifelong partner and my heart hurts for her. I’m losing my Dad. My best friends step mother died suddenly. My high school girlfriend is finishing up radiation treatment for breast cancer. My close friend has [...]
With the holiday season upon us, I would like to share a few of my favorite shopping ideas. I don’t know about you guys but I’m a big fan of online shopping theses days. It’s fast, efficient and convenient. There is nothing you can’t find. We all know about great sites like Etsy, Nordstroms, Red [...]
I am visiting my 76 year old parents this week in Florida. The below picture is from their refrigerator. I'd pick 5 years old. 1. I was always cute at 5. No makeup needed. 2. I had no bills to pay. Life was easy. 3. There was no drama. 4. I told [...]
Enjoy another blog from our favorite guest blogger (okay, our only guest blogger), Libby: Life is fun, god knows you have to laugh at yourself. What's better than laughing? Blogging. I've fallen; oh crap I may have broken my hip I fell yesterday at work. I tripped going up the stairs. The only thing that [...]
There’s something about old friends that are amazing. I just got back from a weekend with my childhood girlfriends. There were eight of us for the weekend and we all went to middle school and high school together. (Some even dated back to elementary school but who’s counting) Some of us are closer than others, [...]
Warning!! I’m going to get deep and a little corny on this one! I like to pride myself in being the sort of person who can find the positive side in most things. I just feel like what’s the point in being negative. For example, this past weekend my stepmother of 38 years passed away. [...]
I’m not creative. I have plenty of friends who are and I totally admire their skills but it’s just not me. Halloween costumes are waiting for me at Party City, why sew something when I can get a perfectly good Fat Ref costume for $29.95? My motto has always been “That’ll do” and it’s served [...]
I want to start a movement. It will be called “WE DON’T GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT THE KARDASHIANS” movement. Why in God’s name are they in the news every single day?? I simply don’t get it. This week, MSN had three separate stories on their home page at the same time about that family. [...]
Every once in awhile you get to say “I told you so” to your child and they actually have to concede that you were right. We have to savor those moments because they are few and far between. Yesterday I had one such moment!! Sarah was ordering a gift for a friend’s birthday on her [...]
S: "How is Jack?" Amy: "Jack is still home. I woke him for school and he typed "don't go. Mom. Feel bad." So he is back in bed sound asleep. Bob stayed home so I could train this morning. Now we are going to the farm to get a flat bed so my truck can [...]
