If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Lately it seems like my neck has a crick in it all the time. Not one of those “I can’t move my head and therefore have an excuse for not doing laundry or dusting” cricks. (I WISH.) More of a “This is [...]

Sitting here on the couch, I’m surrounded by dogs and laundry. The dogs only cause problems when I trip over them. But the laundry….
The laundry is my nemesis. Hangers litter one sofa cushion. Baskets compete for the socks that I’m folding.
After three weeks of feeling BLEH, I am unbelievably behind on washing clothes.
This morning, like [...]

Hello and welcome to my late-arriving Friday post. Let’s just pretend I’m on the West Coast, shall we? Then I can be three hours less late than I really am.
Okay.
Welcome to the Twitter Ho-Down, as hosted by The Fellowship of the Traveling Smarty Pants. Below, the best of ME from this week. I was oddly [...]

Thanks everyone for playing in the Phantastic Photo Giveaway.
(I should write ad copy, don’t you think? I’m rather exceedingly clever.)
My friend Daniel appreciated your visits so much that he updated his blog. Since his artistry extends into the written word, AND he posted new pics, I encourage [...]

Every once in awhile, in an attempt to be “hip” and “cool,” I change the channel from “Classic Rock” to a Top 40 music station. It is educational, let me tell you. To illustrate, this line from a popular song:

Does anyone [...]

And yet ANOTHER way for me to bring the conversation around to bodily functions. I swear, I didn’t even try this time.
So anyway, my fellow former Cali girl Wendy at Weight What? participated in a gr8 meme full of 8s. And since I’m totally l8 in getting a blog post out and, as f8 would [...]

Hey,
Thank you to all who’ve commented or Tweeted your condolences to our family this week on the passing of Charlie’s dad. Charlie has been really busy with funeral arrangements and dealing with the estate. Here in Georgia, life kinda goes on.
So in that vein, yesterday the kids and I went to see “UP.”
The verdict: WONDERFUL [...]

So I have not felt like being funny at all the last couple days. Something to do with a tummy ache and fatigue and general malaise.
(Isn’t that a cool word? Malaise. So very FRENNNNNNCH. Malaise. Malaise. Malaise. I feel like Fancy Nancy.)
Without any funny of my own, I’ve been having staring contests with the Dell [...]

TO DO LIST FOR THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2009
DAY:
Go to kids’ school for “Hat Party” where kids get honored for all the reading they’ve done in a month.
Wonder how I’d feel about wearing a paper-thin plastic “construction” hat with reading stickers on it if I was 11.
Rejoice that I will never again be 11. Or 16 [...]

I did warn you.
This post  is what you get when I stay up till midnight surfing the blogosphere.
Thursday night, my friend Katdish of Hey Look a Chicken fame linked to a blog I’d never visited before, Chronicles of Marnia. (Hi Marni!)
So when I visited Katdish around 11:30, I clicked over to Marni…
