The other day, I prepared spaghetti for dinner. As I was waiting for the big stockpot of water to boil, I wrested open the box of “Thin Spaghetti” and placed it on the counter. Being a mom, I then rushed off to accomplish a billion other jobs in the meantime. A minute or two later, [...]

Aaaaaaaaaaand another Friday rolls around. I am seriously missing the Christmas vacation, friends. Like the sugar crash after a delectable meal of chocolate and sweet coffee, I’m seriously mourning those late holiday mornings, the lounging around all day, staying up late with the kids and giggling over Looney Tunes videos and goofy books….

Another week rolls around! Only a few more of them until we hit the Mayan-prophesied catastrophe, right??? :cuckoo: (Nothing like a bit o’ sarcasm to start off the Monday, eh?

Yeah, I guess I consider holidays “interruptions.” I run a tight ship, so to speak, and when there’s disruption, I feel it. When I was a kid, I [...]

*hee hee* How do you drive your cat crazy who is driving you crazy? Play bird calls on the computer!! Bird Radio! *rubs hands and cackles* My kitty, Livvy, has acquired THE most annoying habit– sitting in front of my computer monitor while I try to work. Grrrr!!! She may even lick the screen or [...]
