Were You Trying To Tell Me Something, Dear?

June 21, 2010

Though he claims that he didn’t get past “Tenderfoot,” my husband takes the Boy Scout motto to heart: Be prepared. I asked him to clean the cat litter boxes for the five cats … and he greeted me in a “hazmat” suit. It was a joke! I swear it’s not that bad. I’d take pity [...]

Digital Mom Meme

January 31, 2010

Basically that means I tweet a few times a day with the #momspotting hashtag about how I use technology in my day-to-day parenting life (actually, I talk more about just life, [...]

What To Do About Blog Comments

April 13, 2009

By serendipity, I have found two posts today talking about how to deal with blog comments. It’s one of those blogging dilemmas to which I have not found the correct answer. Rebecca at Just One More Page has a meme called “Musing Mondays.” Her questions for today were: How do you respond to the comments [...]

WINNERS in the Celtic Thunder Drawing

October 16, 2008

Have y’all been hearing me cuss a blue streak? I’ve been very indelicate in my manner of speech today. I went on a simple errand, and I got lost three times in Fort Worth, so I didn’t get back as quickly as I thought I would. THEN, my blasted server went wonky and I couldn’t [...]

Shelly Needs To STOP Referring To Herself In The Third Person

August 2, 2008

Shelly Googled her own name, because Jamie made her do it (and Shelly always does what Jamie says to do). Shelly was amazed at how many things she needed. There were 2,390,000 listings under the heading “Shelly needs.” She was also chagrined, because many of the listings had to do with…ummm…”intimate adult relationships,” and Shelly [...]

Cancelled Due To Lack Of Interest

July 4, 2008

Aw, heck. I had posted about a writing contest called Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall. I wanted you to tell me about the most hideous beauty experience of them all! Obviously I am the only person I know who has had one of those, because I’m the only person who has posted about an awful [...]

Anybody With Eyes In Their Head Would Know

June 24, 2008

Ordinarily, an optometrist appointment is not my idea of the social event of the season. On that day in 1981, it was definitely a highlight of my month. I had given birth to my second son just six weeks before, and had been cooped up at home since arriving home from the hospital. I was [...]

I’m Afraid It’s All About Me

March 31, 2008

I don’t do ” me-me-me memes” very often, but my friend SusieJ recently e-mailed me to tell me to do this one. I always do what SusieJ says. Why, if she told me to jump off a cliff… …I’d find a very short cliff. This Links Around The World meme got passed to her by [...]
