BACON Camp? In San Francisco!

March 19, 2009

Did anybody win the lottery last night? Does anybody want to sponsor me? I NEED FUNDING NOW! Somebody help me out here. Nobody told me there is a “Bacon Camp” in San Francisco! As if I needed another reason to want to go to San Francisco! YES! And, it’s coming up this week, March 21st. [...]

Kleenex Stock. Snot A Bad Idea.

November 17, 2008

I tell you what! Did y’all know that if you mix Vick’s Vapo Rub, Hall’s Mentho-lyptus cough drops, and chai tea you get toxic vapors? You dang sure do…and that’s what I’ve been inhaling for several days. Don’t anybody light a match! Being slathered up with Vapo Rub has its advantages: After awhile, I don’t [...]

“Funeral” Is Just An Anagram For “Real Fun”

September 23, 2008

They say, “You can’t take it with you when you go.” If “it” is your sense of humor, possibly you can take it with you. If so, Heaven is rocking with giggles right now. This is an obituary from the Dallas Morning News. I thought I might die laughing when I read it: Merritt, Edward [...]

Ring Tailed Tooter, Clint Walker, Bottletrees and The Oscar Meyer Weinermobile

September 18, 2008

Those things have nothing in common, except that I’ve blogged about them before. People come to my blog every day searching for them, so I thought I’d put them together in one place to make it easy. Interspersed with some other things I want you to know about, it can be my Thursday Thirteen # [...]

KaBoom, You Say?

July 12, 2008

There was a “bomb scare” at a local mall yesterday. I saw the story about it on our local evening news. It seems that a “suspicious package” had been reported in the Macy’s Store at Willowbrook Mall in Plano. The news featured footage of the police team’s special robot retrieving the package from the store [...]

Amish Cell Phone

May 3, 2008

When it comes to the use of a cell phone, I’m a dinosaur. I don’t need bells and whistles, and I don’t ask much from my cell phone. All I want to do is be able to make telephone calls with ease. When are the cell phone companies going to cater to simple folks like [...]

Yoga to Relieve My Stress? Not for THIS Wimp.

April 19, 2008

Hi. My name is Shelly, and I’m a stress addict. In unison, everyone, “Hi, Shelly.” Yes, folks. I don’t know how it happened. I just had a couple of projects going, and added a couple more. I have deluded myself into thinking that having several things going at a time keeps me interested and focused. [...]

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 [...]

My House Is A Nightmare

March 11, 2008

As I bopped out of my local coffee shop gripping my extra large mocha, I saw a familiar looking man standing with a camera crew on the corner of our town square. I had seen his face on television! It was Emeril! You know, the famous chef, Emeril Lagasse! I was so excited I nearly [...]

Foraging

March 5, 2008

“Despite their burdens, they [the women] foraged as they traveled, and so efficiently it hardly slowed them down. A patch of day lilies was quickly stripped of buds and flowers, and tender new roots exposed with a few strokes of the digging sticks…shoots and tender young leaves of clover, alfalfa, dandelion; thistles stripped of prickles…a [...]

Thursday Thirteen #36 I’m A Bag Lady

February 7, 2008

Do y’all ever get side-tracked when you go on the internet? I sure do. I just wanted to look up “bags” on the internet, and got all carried away (I’ll tell you why I was looking in a minute). It’s a good thing I can never find my purse, or I’d whup out that credit [...]

Because I’m Crazy

December 11, 2007

Someone didn’t get the memo. Or, the “meme-o,” as it were. I prefer not to do “memes.” I talk about me-me-me all the time anyway. But, Crank Mama passed one to me, and she’s a sweetheart, so just for her I’ll crank this one out (I just wanted to use a pun). That doesn’t mean [...]

A Pain In The What?

October 17, 2007

For those of you who don’t know it, my name is Shelly Kneupper Tucker. Now, that “Kneupper” is pronounced like “new purr” or “nuper.” Imagine my surprise when I was browsing the aisles of Walgreen’s and found this ointment. Nupercainal? It’s for hemorrhoids. So, you think I’m a pain in the what? I was a [...]

I’ll Show You Mine, You Show Me Yours

October 3, 2007

I talked about secrets in the blog world the other day. I think that there are some things that should be kept quiet. But, then there are other things that I will blab about all day. I showed you how I fool my husband into thinking I cook. I tell you lots of silly things [...]

Don’t Tell My Husband!

October 2, 2007

He’s snoring in the other room, so I can share this with you. He thinks I cooked for him tonight. Boy, was he ever wrong! This frozen dinner for two by Bertolli was delicious (though it was just barely enough for two). I admit that I sauteed some mushrooms before adding it to the skillet, [...]

For the Moms (and anyone who ever had one)

September 27, 2007

My friend Connie sent me the link to this in an e-mail, and I thought it was hilarious so I had share it with you. The performer says she figured out what a Mom would say in a 24 hour period and condensed it into 2 minutes and 55 seconds. She sings it to the [...]

Disappearing Act

September 20, 2007

Y’all, I went to my hairdresser the other day, where I always find out interesting tidbits of information that I would otherwise not know. All of the world’s knowledge passes through the doors of the beauty shop. Lucky for you, I share it with you, and you don’t have to go to the hairdresser. Paula [...]

“Rock The Rock Chick’s World” Raffle

August 28, 2007

Well, y’all we didn’t really “rock her world,” we just kept it from sliding out from under her. We tried everything we knew to do to get Jessica The Rock Chick on the A-List. Technorati is taking away her links faster than we can add them. My friend Harlekwin, at Boho Rhap, says it’s like [...]

Eight Things I Wish I Knew In College

June 30, 2007

Some time back I was asked to list eight things I wish I had known in college. My friend Damien, at Riley Central, for some reason thought I’d have something to share about that. I’ve been avoiding answering, because I hated to have to admit that I was in college for a very long time. [...]
