Free samples. Never met one I didn’t like. As all good advertisers know, the word free sets off an internal human magnet that is uncontrollable. Free food samples at Sam’s Club are my favorites, especially when the old ladies are working the free sample table. Between their poor eyesight and dementia, it’s about 60 second [...]

Birthday Tips
February 15th, 2010 · 4 Comments
For my birthday today, my girls took me out for a mani-pedi combo, so I am sporting pretty new finger and toe nails. It was very nice.
My husband made lasagne, which takes him the whole day. He does the same dinner for us every year. It was delicious. I was happy too that my daughter [...]

My Kids Never Hissed At Me. Or Did They?
January 25th, 2010 · 6 Comments
So I am still catsitting for my daughter this week and the darn thing is still hissing at me. I have even tried being nice, but to no avail. Treats are only good for about 20 seconds of appreciation. I could get at least 20 good minutes out of my kids for a treat, longer [...]

Early Christmas Wrap Up
December 7th, 2009 · 6 Comments
I am never on time. For anything.
Last year, at 2 a.m. Christmas morning when I was wrapping gifts and using rubber cement and electric tape because I ran out of tape, I swore that I would be more prepared next year.
Fast forward to week two of Advent 2009. I am done shopping and about 1/3 [...]

The kids are back to work or college, the Saints beat the Patriots and a light coating of snow has fallen across the land for the first time this winter.
Last night we went to help put up my daughter’s outdoor Christmas lights so at least I saw one of the kids to help get me [...]
