You might live with a teenager if…….

             You Might Live With A Teenager If…. The doors in your house no longer just close – they SLAM Your sanity and memory are questioned a dozen times a day… …by the same person who cannot remember to put on shoes before getting in the car to go to school. You [...]

Let there be…….dark!

I left for work yesterday morning pondering the internet situation in our house which had completely died on Wednesday night. Ok, not completely – the wireless network crapped out – one computer could still direct connect to the modem. I figured I would call Time Warner, upgrade to their wireless networking system because I am [...]

You know you wanted to see some deep fried Kool Aid

It was good – but I don’t think I would pass up on my Deep Fried Oreos for them. Those are just…well…still as awesome as I expected. Thankfully the boys were at the fair with me so we could order up a batch of both and each get a taste without totally stuffing ourselves (though [...]

So, this happened

As was pointed out on Facebook – ironic how guys (and gals with their legs) look so forward to that first shave – and then hate that grooming chore for the rest of their lives! Another Facebook comment was that I was lucky to get pics. Yes, I know, but as you see, I waited [...]

Feeding into the stereotype

I tend to look for things that go against the grain – those exceptions that break the rule. Those interest & amuse me much more than anything smelling of “normal”. However, this weekend a stereotype was reinforced (again) and I got a huge laugh out of it (again). I’ve written about this before. The rule [...]

Christmas Day photos

The boyfriend brought his new high quality camera for the day, not only ensuring better photos, but also that he would not be in any After lunch there was a rousing round of Payday played between my mom, SportsBoy and I. No film evidence though since our intrepid photographer had slipped upstairs for a nap! [...]

Around the house

Conversation with the 25 year old over the phone: Him: “Mom, what do you call someone who uses a fake name? You know, someone who writes a book, not anonymously but under a pen name or something that’s not really their own name. Is that a pseudonym?” Me: “Yes, exactly….” (thinking to myself, hmmm, wonder [...]

Adam Lambert San Diego concert pics

While all three concerts I saw this week were fabulous, there was something very special about the San Diego show last night. True, Costa Mesa brought 2 sold out shows in an 8500 seat outdoor amphitheater with well laid out seating and sound. Yes, I *did* end up just three rows behind the folks in [...]

25th anniversary of Live Aid – and one other Big Event :-)

There were more than a few posts yesterday around the internet to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Live Aid concerts. And yet, I associate Live Aid with July 14th for a very good reason I will outline in a moment. It was really bugging me why I am 100% certain I was watching this [...]

Speaking of having it too easy (rant on)

Because I am a mean single working mom I actually make my boys take care of themselves AND help out around the house. One would think that having one of those boys be an actual, well, MAN (gulp!) would mean that he is easy enough to get to do things, right? For the most part [...]
