How very dare you, Starbucks?

For months I’ve been driving past an empty new build plaza that has a corner storefront loosely resembling the trademark signs of a Starbucks, anxiously awaiting its grand opening.  Then I read this week that your ambitious plans to take over the world with that lovely mermaid logo and your super delicious skinny lattes with [...]

Three frigging pounds . . .

So, since I began my freak out diet and exercise regime to get my muffin top body beach ready, I’ve resisted weighing myself.
Until yesterday morning.
I stepped on the scale with baited breath . . . the anticipation of seeing a new number appear on the digital readout.  And, the new number was only 3 frigging [...]

I’ve been stewing . . .

Sorry about the lack of posts, but to tell you the truth, I’ve been stewing/fuming/pissed off/mad as hell . . . or call it what you like and I didn’t want to post a full on rant.  I’ve calmed down a little, but not much. 
I have been fed up of my husband’s mess.  That is [...]

A weekend of haircuts and . . . makeup for the little one?

So, I came home from work on Saturday to find the littlest munchkin’s tresses all chopped off! 
I agree, it had to be done as the poor lad was being mistaken for a wee lassie or a redneck with a baby mullet (no offense meant to any proud redneck babies with mullets), but I wanted to be [...]

Photo Hunt . . . What IS that?

This week’s theme made me tongue in cheek think of this photo of my littlest munchkin eating lord knows what . . . he’s so proud of himself he can finally feed himself!  Enough said . . .

Another good excuse for not doing laundry . . .

Apparently, a woman in Maine was checking on her laundry the other day when she discovered an 8 foot python wrapped around her clothes inside the washing machine!
The snake had somehow got in to her house through the water pipes as it was searching for somewhere damp to reside.
Snakes alive!
And, just as I was about [...]

Skating with old friends . . .

My good older ole pal, Pittsburgh JoAnn is in town visiting with her daughter, Erin this week. 
We met when our kids were in 1st grade together.  My oldest son had come home from his first day of school to tell me he had been seated in between two blonde haired girls, but that both girls wore their hair in [...]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year . . .

Is it too early to start back to school shopping?
Yes, it’s that time of year that parents across the country let out a collective sigh as they realise they’ve actually made it half way through the summer holidays and they’re still alive it’s time to hit the stores.  I’ll admit it.  I have no shame.  [...]

Where Mum lets them play games at the dinner table . . .

Children are not immune to the worries of adults.  Even if you try and protect your child from the economic gripes of the nation, they are unfortunately still met with signs of the times.  Take a drive across my home town, we pass several run down, abandoned homes all with for sale signs in the [...]

Paging Mr. Will Power, has anybody seen Will Power?

Willpower is defined as the ability to exert one’s will over one’s actions.
Read that again.  The ability to exert one’s will over one’s actions.
Hmmmm, to me, he’s a good friend whom I’ve lost touch with.
At one time, Will Power and I were joined at the hip.  We were inseparable at parties, restaurants and even at the supermarket.  [...]
