a quack guide to the laws of attraction

posted on June 13th, 2008

We’ve heard a lot about the Law of Attraction lately - thanks to “The Secret”.   I like the book.  In fact, I’d venture to say that the giant pair of rose colored glasses I own are representative of the ideas in there.  Anyhow, we were walking home from school the other day and my little […]

martini calories

posted on June 10th, 2008

If a person has a martini, whilst they are sipping their perfect “shaken, not stirred” elixir, it would almost be unethical or immoral (or some kind of bad thing) to take time away from the simple enjoyment and instead be contemplating how they can burn the extra caloric intake.
A martini (with no olive) is approximately […]

the best invention ever….

posted on June 7th, 2008

So.  I’ve been harassing the Starbucks staff for years to find a solution to the coffee spilling out of the top of the cup.  It ends up all over the car.  Some coffee chains (of which I am not as fond…. ) have good sticky stickers that won’t come off - not even over speed […]

some days…

posted on June 4th, 2008

Some days, when even the largest purchase of MAC wouldn’t help, it just has to be enough to:

know there are more Kick Ass coffee beans in the cupboard & your rose-colored glasses aren’t too far from reach
trust that even though your BFF is lots of kilometers away, there’s only a phone call between you & she’d jump on a […]

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 […]
