those wonderful, evil temptations…

posted on May 30th, 2008

So many temptations, so little time.  But let’s take a closer look into what a woman may have been tempted with lately… 
Really good dark chocolate?
I’m talking really, really, divine, dark chocolate of the finest quality.  I am of the mind that if there is indeed an opportunity for the consumption of very good, dark chocolate, […]

Actually, I CAN’T be “even more amazing”…

My sis mentioned that Kelly Ripa was doing the advertisments for the new line of Electrolux appliances.  Besides all of the other fab designs & functions (of which, I freely admit I know very little about), she was all excited that the new fancy-shmancy-super-sonic convection stove-top could boil water in 90 seconds.  90 seconds!  “Just think how […]

Expose Yourself! DKM’s Juicy Questions

posted on May 22nd, 2008

Somebody I know recently expressed to me that he was hesitant to join facebook because it made him feel very exposed - & it got me to thinking about people who write more personal-type blogs… such as yours truly.  I must admit it rarely crosses my mind that my blog is rendering my psyche (or a teensy […]

Oy. A “Moment”.

Remember the time I went to Costco to buy a case of V-8 Juice and I accidentally came home with a Shit-szu dog instead?  Today’s Costco experience trumps it. 
In fact it was so distressing, I was reminded of the phobia list I did a while back (my fave phobias are pasted below in case you missed it).  […]

Random Notes

Dear Person who has been ringing my doorbell @ 8 a.m…. You’re probably thinking that since my car is in the driveway, I’m just lazing around in bed or something… too sloth-like to descend the stairs & get the door.  FYI -I’ve actually been up since 5:00.  But I’m not stupid enough to open the door to a stranger unless […]

Lipstick Obsession

posted on May 14th, 2008

So I’m in the car with the kids and we’re about to pull into a shop.  I ask Sam if he can pass me the lipstick from my purse.  He starts pulling the lipstick tubes out onto his lap.  And he’s laughing. 
Me:  Did you find it?  The M.A.C. Freckletone?
Him:  Um.  [still giggling] I found 15 […]

(oh) Dear Phone Company

posted on May 6th, 2008

Dear Phone Company,
Recently I have recorded our phone conversation (for quality assurance purposes) and since it’s the same bloody conversation we’ve had for the past 5 MONTHS, I figured I’d just send you the transcript rather than repeat myself…  (The story is getting old & I may start to giggle in angry, maniacal hysterics should I actually […]

Forget Bruce & Peter. Give Me Tony Stark.

posted on May 5th, 2008

So I’m not the best movie-goer.  I have an extraordinarily hard time sitting still for that long.  It doesn’t make sense to me how I can sit in front of my laptop for hours and not realize where the time is, and yet during a movie I’m impatient. (oh.  & i’m one of those awful, evil […]

Dear Good People…

posted on May 1st, 2008

Today I have a couple of people to thank.  (I could pretend I’m like at the Oscars or something but my wardrobe is seriously lacking in Armani & Vera Wang… my grey GAP t-shirt will have to do)
Dear Hewlett Packard Man:
Thank you so much for listening to me for an hour on the phone when […]
