• Her

    I did something this weekend I rarely do. I watched a movie that was not rated “G.” There wasn’t an animated princess, minion, fish, etc. I saw the movie “Her” at night in an actual theater. I didn’t even smuggle popcorn or candy inside, opting instead to waste my son’s college fund at the concession stand. When the popcorn was gone I suggested my husband refill the container so we could bring some home to the kids. “What the hell is wrong with you?” he asked. We laughed. Then, I picked a few kernels out of my dentures and hiked up my nude knee high pantyhose. I will be honest,…

  • Wedgie

    It’s a new day which means another celebrity is going to post a picture of themselves on Twitter.   I’ve never had the urge to go in the bathroom to snap a selfie.   You’re welcome.  My favorite pics are when people are obviously posing, but pretend to be caught off guard.  Oh, I didn’t see you standing there with a camera. I was just risking my life, hanging on to this plant near a cliff in Mexico while standing in my underwear. (I call that Tuesday) Actress Lea Michele posted this pic on New Year’s Day. There is no denying she is talented and gorgeous.   The girl also has…

  • #MOMTEXTS

    I cannot wait for Jimmy Fallon to take over The Tonight Show so I can actually stay up to watch it.  Thanks Dawn for sharing this bit:

  • Best News Bloopers of 2013

    This is too good not to share.   I made my share of mistakes back in the day.  I even made the photographer delete video the second we returned to the station, but nothing I did was as bad as what is in this video.

  • Crying over Apple

    I cry every time this commercial comes on television and (every time) my 6-year-old says, “Mom, you do know it’s a commercial about Apple.  They make phones and Ipods.  Why does that make you sad?”  It’s hard to explain.  It’s the same reason I cry at the end of Toy Story 3 and while reading “Love You Forever.”  He doesn’t understand yet, but someday he will.  

  • Just Because

    Everyone has that Facebook “friend” who is always bragging about how perfect her life is.  #Liar     There is Facebook and then there is the truth.  You’re not going to post the argument that ensued after he left his socks on the floor again.  You’re status won’t include complaints about her spending and his daily lunch tab.  The bouquet of flowers he got “just because” are probably because he came home really late without bothering to call.  I can’t remember the last time I got flowers “just because.”   So, I was tickled pink when the fine folks at TheBouqs.com offered to send me a bouquet straight from the farm. …

  • Pop

    My husband wants to give me a chore for Christmas. He keeps talking about how great it would be to have a Sodastream. “Just think you could make your own soda whenever you want.” Yeah, or I could just grab a can out of the refrigerator, flip a metal tab and take a swig. With three kids I don’t have time to eat a hot plate of food. Now, you want me to die of thirst, too? Someone once lectured me about drinking Diet Coke. “Do you know that it can remove rust? Imagine what it is doing to your body.” I was siked! I can drink it and clean…

  • Things that make you go hmmmmmm

    I actually received an email questioning, “Why haven’t you written anything in the past few days?” I love my fan. I could barely get out of bed, let alone type. I exercise on a daily basis, but my muscles are spent. Raking a million leaves will do that to you. Well, it will do that to you at my age.We got a little behind schedule with our Fall cleanup. Minutes after my husband started clearing the yard today the belt busted on the lawn mower. He insisted he could fix it. This is coming from the same man who “fixed” the oven door with scotch tape. He grabbed his tools.…

  • Emotional Baby

    A baby is moved to tears by his mother’s singing. My children cry when I sing, too, but for a very different reason. (You’re a bit pitchy dawg) This is beautiful and worth watching:
