The Traditional Pre-Yard Sale Party We had a yard sale last Saturday, which, like most things, was just a big excuse to have a party. The Bother-in-Law, Gary, and his family came to “help” run the...
A skink walks into a bar… Mike took this great photo of a little skink peeking over our garden wall (for the difference between “skinks” and “skanks” click here). I was inspired. Get Thoughtful...
Don’t want pimples? Whatever you do, don’t touch your face. Touching your face results in what I like to call “reverse whack-a-mole pimples.” Whereas whacking a plastic pop-up mole in an arcade...
My husband, Mike, and I went to the Caribbean island of St. Barth’s for our honeymoon, because we wanted to start out life together completely broke. St. Barth’s is the perfect place to rid...
Heads in Beds is more fun than a room with a view and a suitcase full of stolen Toblerones. Which is exactly how you could spend your next vacation if you take author Jacob Tomsky’s advice. In the...
Chrissy Amphlett, lead singer of the Divinyls dies at 53. You may not know who Chrissy Amphlett or the Divinyls are, but if you’re anywhere near 40, at some point you’ve probably found yourself...
Oh I’m so excited! So this goes under the “things that make me giggly” section… Harrison Wheeler (@wheelerharrison – Twitter and his web site) made me fan art! (At least I’m calling it “fan art”...
Our attic insulation project underscores why Mike & I will never be on HGTV’s Renovation Realities. If Mike & I were on Renovation Realities, the show where couples take on home improvements to...
My Sneaky-Sneaky Fail Last Saturday I thought I’d get up early and surprise Mike by being oh so sneaky-sneaky and making him biscuits and gravy. I don’t get to do things like that very often,...
The Best Skin Lotion EVAH! This is one of those little posts I do when I find something that makes me giggly. Last time it was Salted Caramel Vodka, so lotion might be a bit of a let down, but if...
Dog is Man’s Best Friend? This quote is the source of some arguing. My husband, Mike, and I work from home, which give us a lot of quality time together. A lot of quality time. A whole lot of...
The Battle of Hatchlings This is fiction. I am not a loon. I received a Rare Bird Alert early Tuesday morning notifying me to the presence of an immature Red-Headed Woodpecker in my area. Having...
Whether you’ve stumbled upon one, or had one forced upon you, you may come in contact with a 40 year-old. The 40 year-old might actually be you. Being a forty *mumble* year-old myself, I’m in a...
Stoli Salted Karamel Vodka + Chocolate + Cheese = Nirvana I was in the liquor store (I know, shocking) when I noticed Stoli Salted Karamel Vodka on the shelf just above eye level. It was bathed in...
Octopi vs Octopuses vs Octopodes vs Octopus I like Octopi. Octopuses. Octopodes. Whatever. The sea leggy things. The problem is, whenever I try to tell someone I like octopus plural (because people...
Is Michelle Obama the ‘Madonna’ of First Ladies? The USA Today had an article asking of Michelle Obama was “overexposed.” Syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker was quoted calling Michelle Obama “the...
A little black chalkboard fun. Mike and I had been talking about hanging a black chalkboard above the dog’s food area. I don’t know why. I can trace very little of what we talk about back to...
What are Italian Seasonings? A blend of dried herbs, usually including oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme, sage, marjoram, and red pepper. In New Jersey, where I grew up in little Sicily, Italian...
Or, “How Not to Be an Idiot in a 3D Movie.” Mike and I went to see our first 3D movie, Life of Pi the other day. We don’t go to the movies often because we have movie channels at home, my knees...
Are American Children coddled? A while back there was an interesting article from CBS news called “Why my Child will be Your Child’s Boss.” In short, the author, Suzanne Lucas, talked about how in...
I’m not usually a blog contest person with the badges and whatnot, but some lovely person named Margaret nominated me for the “Top 25 Humor Blogs” on SkinnyScoop.com and if you, my equally lovely...
What is Vodka? In the strictest terms, vodka is “An alcoholic spirit of Russian origin made by distillation of rye, wheat, or potatoes.” But what is vodka…really? It is the source of my secret...

I’d love to make little funny videos, but have neither the time, skill or cast to do so. So, I’m introducing a new series “No Video Skills Theatre” which I’m spelling “Theatre” instead of “Theater”...
I like watching football, and since I live near Baltimore, today I’m a little more invested than I usually am at this point in the season (considering my husband is a Raiders fan, poor bastard)....
Avoid food shopping by stuffing your face with ham and cheese stuffed donut holes and wine. Or, “How to Gain 15 lbs in Two Weeks” After driving 14 hours to our Florida vacation rental, my husband,...
I was talking to a woman who was moving back in with family and was very upset that she would have to “hide her sex toys.” At first I was a little shocked by her honesty, but as she went back to...
When I’m working at my desk, my husband Mike likes to torture me with fake sexual advances in the form of the worst role playing characters ever created. They include such gems as: “Hey Baby, I...
I’ve written about Brock the Braque du Bourbonnais, my Bother-in-Law’s dog before, including the repulsive way he tries to endear himself to people by making the world’s ugliest dog face. Brock the...
