Save Me From Myself

Oh lordy, I caught a commercial yesterday which featured Paula Deen hawking Smithfield sausages. The commercial lured me in by showing me an image of a BLT dip, and then said head on over to the Smithfield website for Paula’s BLT dip recipe. So I, being highly suggestable and loving all things bacon, followed their [...]

Caroline in the Sky With Diamonds

I had such a perfect morning with the kids today. I set the alarm for 7:45, got up, and then Caroline was up, on her own, right after me. Normally I have to open the blinds, jump on the bed, play some mariachi music and prod her with a Hot Shot to get her out of [...]

Can Otter Pops Be Considered a Food “Staple?”

I’ve been very reluctant to leave the house since “The Diagnosis.” I tell my husband that it’s because I don’t want to infect others. That’s how I got him to pick up milk this morning. But the real reason is that the affected area under my eye looks HIDEOUS. It’s not big, but it’s evolved over the past [...]

Can Someone Please Explain Twitter To Me?

I’m horribly uninformed when it comes to all that “Social Networking” stuff. I’m signed up for all these things, like Technorati, BlogHer, BlogCatalog, Stumble, Twitter, etc. But I don’t get it, you know? I don’t think I’m making it work for me. And I don’t really know how to make it work for me. I [...]

Die, Varicella – Zoster, Die

I finally went in for some medical intervention yesterday with regard to the eye situation and it turns out that I have Shingles. Under my eye.
Shingles is a charming little condition that normally affects those over the age of 60. Me and my bizarre immune system are experiencing the delights of Shingles for the second time. I’ve [...]

I’m Freakin’ Out, Man

I can’t believe it, but the situation with my eye is getting even worse. I took 2 Benadryl before bed last night, hoping to alleviate the puffiness, but it is much worse today, and not going down over the course of the day as it had been the past couple of days. Then my Dad [...]

I’m Sure He Was Just Hungry

A woman in Neosho, MO had a cat scratching at her back door that turned out to be a…wait for it, wait for it…Leopard. That’s right, a leopard, a giant wild deadly cat, was scratching at her back door to be let in. Apparently, it was hungry for some Kibbles and Bits.
How did the leopard [...]

I Hate Myself For Loving You

As much as I want to hate Tori Spelling, and am sickened by her husband (who ran off and left his last family to start a new family with a semi-famous out of work “actress” without so much as a backward glance), I find myself getting sucked in to their new show “Tori and Dean: [...]
