Here is another list I've put together noting crazy things I've discovered lately.  Included this week is the realization that I may or may not have accidentally mailed multiple holiday cards to the same people.  Oops.  Click over to my…

As you well know, it's been a week that ended with unspeakable tragedy, and my heart has been very heavy for all the innocent little victims and families affected by the shootings in Connecticut.  But I hope that my list of things I've learned lately can bring a much needed…

 It's all too easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, but I am bound and determined to not let THIS December turn me into a giant asshole!  Click over to my blog to see just what I'm talking about:  …

Here we go again with another crazy list of things I've discovered lately.  This week's list includes the realization that choosing a family photo where one of us doesn't look pissed, drunk, or ready to kill someone is quite the challenge!  Click over to my blog for…

Here is yet another list of whacky things I've learned lately.  Included this time is the realization that the world would be a happier place if everyone ate Thanksgiving dinner in their pajamas.  Click over to my blog for the full list:…

Here is another list of weird discoveries I've made throughout the past few days.  Included this time is the realization that I could totally use a stunt double.  Click over to my blog for the full list:  "…

As you get ready to blow up your neighborhood tomorrow, take a second to read my little 4th of July advice over on my blog:  "Independence Day…

The older I get, the more I realize that New Year's Eve is totally overrated.  I mean, seriously, what's the point of getting all dolled up to spend a shit-ton of money to fight a bunch of annoying crowds to risk being hit by a drunk driver and to then be disappointed that the night wasn't nearly as fabulous as you'd hoped it would be?  That's why my husband and I made the executive decision many moons ago to just stay home and have our own little family party to ring in the new…

Remember that story a few weeks ago when we lost the mother fucking Elf on the Shelf, and I was all panicked that it might be the last Christmas for believing in Santa in my household?  Well, it saddens me beyond words, but I'm pretty sure the jig is up (at…

Once again one of my very favorite holidays has passed me by faster than I could say, "Boo!"  Yes, Halloween has come and gone and left me with a massive candy overdose.  I seriously don't think I'll be able to look at a Twix bar the same without puking ever again (at least not until next week anyway).  The festive weekend was certainly chalked full of all kinds of fun while it lasted though.

It all started with our annual adults-only costume party, which always…

For the past couple of days, I've been wondering how in the world the whole Easter bunny concept came to be and what the hell eggs have to do with a rabbit!  It's pretty amazing that no one ever seems to question the association of an oversized hare who hides plastic eggs with the resurrection of Jesus.  I am…

** It's the last day of the year?  Really?

** A resolution or two may actually be in order this time.

** I do not look sexy with white hair.

I can hardly believe that it was at this time just last year that my dad was undergoing treatment for throat cancer. And because his immune system was so weak at that time, we were not all able to be together for Thanksgiving, which was a total bummer for everyone. Now that he's fully recovered and cancer-free this year, we were very much looking forward to a…
