Here I sit with an additional cat who hates me, while my girls are off on another California adventure. One of them just text me a photo of a huge chocolate bar, and they better be buying it for me if they know what is good for them. How does this happen that I am [...]

Talk is Cheap

Isn’t it funny that people will ask how you accomplished something and then totally blow off the answer? I have decided to try a new tactic. The next time someone poses a parenting advice question to me I will ask them how they think I did it. My theory is that is what they want [...]

It Takes a Village For My Family To Order
February 11th, 2012 · No Comments
It is a major operation for my family to order at drive through windows. Sure, there are five of us, but apparently we are complicated. Or picky. Nothing ordered is as it is on the menu. We have to hold something or have extra of something. I swear that I can hear the cashiers fighting [...]

Yes, it’s about that time again and to celebrate, I went to the DMV to have my license photo retaken. The last one was taken when I was pregnant with my son. He is 21 now. At the time, I was embarrassed of the way I looked in it because I was heavier than usual [...]

So why the heck do I bother with a garden if it means I don’t get the fruits of my husband’s labor? He worked very hard to grow such a nice garden and, sure I got some tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, corn and eggplant out of the deal, but why no squash? At first I thought [...]

Oh Fudge at the Metropolitan Cooking Show
November 9th, 2011 · No Comments
My friend asked me to go with her to the Metropolitan Cooking Show in Washington DC this past weekend and I got a dream job – handing out tons and tons of fudge. (And I didn’t drool on any of it.) While there were a ton of folks who attended, my highlight was making a [...]
