A Very Un-Juicy Rodent Tale (not tail)

posted on November 29th, 2007

So.  Deanna sees a mouse in the garage.  The mice in the Dr. Suess tales I read and read and re-read to Max are cute.  Ratatoullie was a rat… and such a nice little well mannered creature.  And a chef to boot!  Sadly the mouse in my garage was neither cute, nor well mannered (that’s an […]

Talk About Unusual

posted on November 26th, 2007

I write a weekly column.  It’s an advice column for a newspaper.  There’s an uber-snark factor so I go under a different name for now.  Anyhow, there have been a few questions about the Holiday Season.  Stuff like “what to buy for Christmas”.  People, apparently, want original presents.  So I’ve been peeking around the net and […]

American Thanksgiving

posted on November 22nd, 2007

Today, in honor of the American Thanksgiving, I thought I’d write a juicy list of Thanks:

I am thankful that I have two hands so I can juggle the TWO cups of coffee I poured for myself this morning (duh).
I am thankful for the shows House, Hannah Montana & The Naked Brother’s Band.
I am thankful that […]

The Little Things Matter…

posted on November 21st, 2007

I was reminded yesterday about how we can have an impact even if we don’t know it.  Firstly, I was in the Starbucks line-up and got to the front where a student (who has long since graduated) handed me my perfect, steaming latte.  She got a huge grin on her face and exploded with pride […]

If I Were A Matchmaker…

posted on November 18th, 2007

Nope.  I’m NOT going to knock the online dating/matchmaking world.  Even Dr. Phil endorses those sites (she says with a sarcastic edge, as if Dr. Phil is so obviously the leader of the free world) I couldn’t comment because I’ve never been to one.  And some of my friends found true love online.  But what about […]

The Girl Thing

posted on November 15th, 2007

Someone I know is having a baby girl.  (Actually, it’s someone special… maybe like one of my siblings.)  Since I have two (fabulous) boy creature children, the thought of going to Baby GAP and purchasing those uber-cool striped tights is SO EXCITING!!  And having a girl might be exactly the same… I’m not so into […]

Tales From The Laundromat

posted on November 13th, 2007

Oh yes.  The Laundromat. 
BACK-STORY:
I’ve been a fortunate soul for most of my life to reside in places with in-house laundry.  How ironic, then, that with a house of my own, and a fabulous main-floor laundry area, I’ve been a frequent Laundromat Visitor.  If you read my blog, you’ll know that my washing machine broke down […]

The Juciness of Virtual Worlds

posted on November 8th, 2007

Have you checked out the sunken living-room igloos @ Club Penguin? 
Are you addicted to Goober’s Lab @ Webkinz? 
And what about Gaia Online?   Great virtual world…
I love my REAL world.  I’ve got a fab family, a great job, I am pursuing my writing dream etc.  Absolutely ZERO complaints.  But the virtual worlds I visit […]

Things To Do During the Writer’s Strike…

posted on November 6th, 2007

We wait a long time for the end of September when all the new shows start to air.  And we got a good month in before this writer’s strike.  It will surely disrupt the airways for some time.  I remember waaaayyy back (back far enough that I remember thinking cheesecake was really, really healthy for […]
