Have We Discussed Creepy Santa?
My husband bought this Creepy Santa a few years ago. He doesn’t think he’s creepy, but I’ll leave that up to you. He is full sized (in my world anyway– close to five feet) and motion-activated. I try to sneak past him by doing things like vaulting over the banister or Marine crawling across the living […]
No. No, That’s NOT The Best Of The Seventies. At All.
I heard a “Best of the Seventies” station at the dentist the other day. It was an actual XM Station though, not Muzak, so there was no excuse. They played Abba, Neil Sedaka, Paper Lace, and whatever that Do The Hustle song is. This is NOT the best of the seventies. The best music of […]
Tyrannosaurus Rex’s Arms Are Not Too Tiny To Hold a Lightsaber
I went to Michael’s with my daughter. You would think that a craft store would be really boring, but there is a kid’s section where I found this really great light saber that flashed and made cool noises. It seemed like the only logical thing to when I was finished with it was to give […]
This Is My Companion Apple
I have been carrying this same apple back and forth in my lunch for a week, but I never eat it. It’s become something of a pet. Every day, I think, this will be the day that I eat my apple, but when lunch comes along, it doesn’t happen. I’m an apple procrastinator. Sometimes it’s […]
A Very Shiny Project Runway Finale: Holy Surprise Ending Batman
Didn’t they tell Kimberly her bags and shoes were too clunky? Josh’s first model needs to take off the blue towel so we can see her outfit. I like Josh’s gown thing with the plastic top now that he got rid of the roller disco back view. I loved everything in Viktor’s collection. Amazing. Everything […]
Sharkdog is not a Morning Dog
Every day I have to wrestle my reluctant Sharkdog to wakefulness and toss her out the back door to do her duty (yes, I said duty). She is mostly deaf so clapping and calling her name is meaningless. I try poking her, prodding her, tugging on the blanket she sleeps on, all to no avail. […]
This Is Why I Can Never Use Song Lyrics As My Facebook Status
I am pretty much a cheerful, upbeat person, but all my favorite lyrics make me sound like a petulant teenager or a disgrunted postal worker. Examples in no particular order: ill Scarlett: Nothing Special “I’m sick and tired of everybody, thinking they know what’s best for me. Maybe God wanted me to be nothing special.” […]
The Yankees are the Prada Handbag of MLB
Nice to look at, well put together, but too expensive for regular folk. I saw Moneyball last week. Great movie. I went with my husband who is a HUGE Bill James fan. I should have made him wear a bib (my husband, not Bill James). I used to buy my husband a stack of Bill […]
Project Runway – What Women Want?
Way overdue, quel dommage. I’ve been busy saving puppies from burning buildings. 1. First of all, I’d like to offer my condolences to the familes of any viewers who used the word, “boobs” for their Project Runway drinking game. For the love of Mike. Between Bert’s breast-obsessed clients to Oliver standing on a chair and shrieking […]
Books on my Pending List
