Don’t you wish the things you dreamt up really came to fruition? I don’t mean like the dreams where you can fly off of cliffs, or you’re “Bought Google Stock in 1995” rich, or, or, or you look hot naked…I am talking about those grand ideas you had…the ones you just knew would be the […]
Last week we made Chinese Food for The Change That Adds Up…so this week I wanted to go bigger. Like Big Big. No, there isn’t going to be any pomp and circumstance, no elaborate recipe. Nothing crazy. Just good – and on the cheap. Most of us around here tend to “go out” to eat […]
I probably just ticked half of you off with that title, didn’t I? Sorry about that. But when I read that this month’s “You Want Pies With That?” Theme was Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous, I just couldn’t get past Brad and Angie. (Is “Brangelina” tradmarked? Copyrighted? I hope to hell not, or else […]
So…Banana Cream Pie. Don’t think I have ever eaten it. I know, right? Where’ve I been? I don’t know. Don’t get me wrong…I like bananas. Sort of. I’ll eat them…they just aren’t my favorite fruit. They get icky too fast. For me, they have to be perfectly yellow, no brown, no green. So that gives […]
So Seven…you know, my son. He’s 19 months old now and he’s become quite a little man. His favorite toys are his cell phone (although he prefers the real one…Hello? Hello? Ciao, Bye.), his gun, and his knife. And now he has a jumprope that he drags around the house courtesy of Yoplait for Kids. […]
I am fascinated by people who like to run. I used to see them when driving through the Virginia Tech Campus. I could understand it, maybe, if it were pleasant outside…but at 20 degrees? Or in the rain? Or snow? Me? I see a day like that and I pull up the covers. But runners […]
Okay, so maybe I am pushing it just a bit here, but…in the case of Nature Versus Nurture, what do you think prevails in the following video? I’ll tell you one thing for sure – it is not inherent in my genes to do housework. Laundry, especially. I don’t know if it is in Jon’s […]
I realized a couple of weeks ago that it was time for me to seek my old self out again…I was at Lowes of all places. I looked like hell, to be perfectly honest. Seven and I had gone to pick up shelving, and as we were leaving, a girl about my age floated by […]
Hello readers! It’s Thursday again, so it’s time for saving some cash! Last week we did the burger thing…so this week I thought we’d tackle a common “go-to” money sucker…Chinese Takeout. While a meal from those cute little white boxes is certainly easy and definitely cheaper than going to a steakhouse, there is still money […]
How many Mommies are looking for a way to make their lives a little easier around the house? I mean, isn’t it hard enough to keep our kids fed, and clothed, and pick up all of their brightly colored pieces of plastic forty two times a day, and then hope they sleep? Aren’t they dirty […]
Don’t you find it frustrating when you are trying to make a recipe from a cookbook and there is no picture? I mean, how are you supposed to know if your end product is right? What did women do in the olden days and there were NO pictures at all in their cookbooks? Maybe they […]
That’s right…free. Another fabulous vacation, up for grabs, just for registering your name and address in an online drawing. I just did it myself – and let me assure you, they are reputable. Your name isn’t going to be sold, you aren’t going to be harassed. All that’s going to happen is you are going […]
