Why I Didn’t Watch the Super Bowl

I don’t do this a lot, but I wanted to cross post my piece from BlogHer this morning. It explains in greater detail why I didn’t watch the Super Bowl this year. Fear not. I have it on my DVR and I plan on watching the third and fourth quarters sometime this weekend. ___ I [...]

Who Can Read Spanish?

No this isn’t about poop again. Claudia is a model again but since I don’t speak Spanish (yes, I took two years in high school and two semesters in college and all I can do is ask for a cold beer politely) I don’t know what this article is all about. I think it is [...]

Another SATGS PSA: On DayQuil

I am not going to knock DayQuil or NyQuil. In fact, I love them both very deeply. What I am here to tell you is that if you take DayQuil after 5:30 pm don’t expect to be falling asleep any time before about midnight. Even if you go to bed at 9:00. Trust me on [...]

123, 5, 3 Meme

Alison from AliBlog tagged me for a meme last night. Now normally I am not this prompt about anything, but since hers was the first blog I ever read (yes, I owe most of the credit for this mess of a blog to her) and since I’ve know her for close to 30 years – [...]

Just Like Mommy

Claudia: I don’t like this. This is boring. Me: What is boring? Claudia: This cleaning business. The apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree. I don’t like cleaning either (It is, however, pretty hilarious that she referred to it as “this cleaning business”). How do you respond to that? All I could do was [...]
