Halloween sure is a whole lot different now that my kids are grown. I used to decorate the house, make homemade costumes, throw Halloween parties with the appropriately goulish foods, do Halloween crafts and activities with all the kids in the neighborhood. All that jazz. This is how times have changed since [...]

And I’m not talking food when I say Grease.
I have a confession to make. Now don’t be too alarmed. . . it’s not that bad. But it will demonstrate my weirdo side. I confess that I really like Daytime TV. I actually like Daytime TV more than Primetime TV, except when [...]

My babies are growing up! I realize that they’re in their twenties now and I should have noticed this fact long ago, but in my eyes, they’re still my babies. They’re still these sweet little towheaded boys searching for adventure. I love this picture!! I just want to pick them up [...]

Do you ever have one of those blah kinda days where it’s all dreary and drizzly outside and you don’t really feel bad, but then you don’t really feel good either, then something happens. . . someone smiles at you, someone sends you flowers, someone sends you an email telling you that “You’re a Winner”.

Who knew?
I have never been one of those girls that went all weak in the knees over a celebrity, a musician, or an athlete.  Nope – not even Tom Selleck got me excited back in his Magnum PI days or John Travolta either while he strutted his stuff in Grease. 

I’ve just always been of the mindset [...]

I started an MSN Spaces blog back in Feb. 2006 with a little coaxing from my boss who had one.  I was leary and suspicious at first about the whole blogging thing.  In my mind, I was afraid it was just another version of Match.com which I wanted no part of, but then I really started getting [...]

This is too funny.  I found this by accident (FlameKA), and when I did, it reminded me of my own Kitchen Aid mixer given to me by my ex husband for Christmas back in 1989.   My ex was your standard jewelry gift giver for every holiday and birthday, which is not a bad thing . [...]
