The quest for underpants

Super fast I just want to say that if your name is Carol Grise, please for the love of God pay your bills so that the debt collectors will stop calling my house and shaving a year off of my life twice a day.
That is all I have time to say today because about 20 [...]

Yestertime: A Family Values Blog

In my little secret master page that edits this blog and quite possibly controls some parts of the universe, I can see where the visitors to this site have come from. I can also see what people typed into their search engines that brought up this blog as an option for what they might [...]

Report: Productivity is down

Let’s take a little walk through history, or at least through the last two Januaries. (Hold up, can you put an “ie” on the end of January? I’m mildly disturbed by the sight of it.)
Anyhoo, I’m specifically harkening back to the last two January 12ths, i.e. Bug’s birthday. For the first birthday, [...]

You work on commission? YOU’RE KIDDING.

“Hey there pretty lady! And who’s this handsome man with you? You a fine looking young man, aren’t you. Got the ladies all over you. How can I help you out today? We’ve got great deals on armchairs and throw rugs, and I’m telling only you this, because I like the [...]

Two paragraphs, both ending in “now”

I just ate a Lean Cuisine that was supposed to be a chicken enchilada, but tasted curiously of tuna. I looked at the box to make sure it was chicken, and realized that they weren’t even able to make the picture on the box look appetizing, which is a really bad sign. [...]

Limping towards the finish line with lots of CAPS LOCK

When I joined NaBloPoMo, I noticed that I had a harder time coming up with a post each day for a while. True, I already posted daily, but since I was now being watched and there were prizes on the line, my brain turned to oatmeal and I was incapable of stringing more than [...]

Also, I am unshowered and still in my pajamas as I write this.

Wow, I’m in a mood today. It’s not a bad or a good one, it’s just a strange one. It may be because I’m cleaning, which in the end makes me happy, but during makes me crazy. Also, there are chemicals and dust and sketchy fumes involved.
To give you an example of [...]

In case you’re wondering, I didn’t get it back out of the trash. Apparently, I have no soul.

Every day, Bug brings home some cute art project from his class – a bird with tissue paper wings, a tree made from a tracing of his hand, a sponge painting, etc. This is really the first year that he has been old enough to have actually created some of this art, as opposed [...]

This is why we eat out a lot

Dinner, dinner…hmmm. Ok, meatloaf. That’s not hard, right? Let’s see:
Ground beef – check
Eggs – check…Hmm, Sell By Oct. 26. They’re probably ok – besides, I’ve had salmonella poisoning and it wasn’t that bad, after the hospital part.
Bread crumbs – check
Salt and pepper – check
Milk – check
Sage – Sage? What’s sage? [...]
