My minivan has a poltergeist or possibly an electrical problem but either way I am freaking out. I was at the grocery store (as I tend to be) and when I tried to get out of the car it was locked. That in itself is no big deal. I’ve also tried to get out of [...]
I Was Standing in the Shower
August 31, 2011
I am standing in the shower and I can hear the shrieking coming down the hall. I have been in the shower almost long enough so that my hair is wet enough to put in the shampoo. I wonder what he could have done to make her so angry in such a short period of [...]
My At-Bat Song
August 26, 2011
Do you have your walk-up song picked out? You know, the song that they would play for you when you come up to bat? Sports fans are nodding their heads and hitting the comment button. For the rest of you, think of them playing “Wild Thing” for Charlie Sheen in “Major League” when he came [...]
This Entire Post Revolves Around One Biggie Smalls Song
August 9, 2011
Partially because I just spent the weekend at BlogHer and it is sort of the unofficial Sparklecorn theme song and partly because my children are obsessed with songs with curse words in them, I have had the song “Party and Bullshit” by The Notorious B.I.G. stuck in my head for several days. * * * [...]
I Never Said I Was Reasonable
July 13, 2011
The other day I was telling you about the lists I make in the notepad on my phone. Today I thought I would stick with that theme and share with you two related lists. The first one is things that make me happy when they aren’t that big of a deal and the second one [...]
Deranged Might Be Just About Right
July 11, 2011
Sometimes I make these lists on the note pad on my iPhone when I think of ideas for posts. A week or two ago I began a list of words I really like. It all started when I was sitting at a stop light and I heard the word ‘thuggery” used on the radio. What [...]
What Doesn’t Kill You…
July 5, 2011
My friends over at Studio 30 Plus asked if I would be one of their featured bloggers in July. This is the post I wrote for them with a few minor edits. * * * I broke down and hired a personal trainer. This says several things about me. 1) I finally crossed the line [...]
Things I Wonder About While Watching Sons of Anarchy
June 17, 2011
Yeah, I am obsessed. You are just going to have to bear with me and my “Sons of Anarchy” rants until I catch up. 1) When you get patched in who sews them on? Gemma? Do they go to a seamstress? Do the guys do it themselves? Like when Jax took of the Redwood patch [...]
Latest Shopping Theory
June 10, 2011
I have a new theory when it comes to grocery shopping. Yes, I have multiple theories about grocery shopping. Anyone who follows me on twitter, foursquare or knows me in real life probably knows that I go to the grocery store easily five times in a normal week. If you figure I spend about 30 [...]
We All Love Rock N’ Roll
May 13, 2011
Claudia really wanted the Barbie I Can Be Rock Star Doll Set for her birthday. Thinking that was totally awesome, I ran right out and bought it. I admit, however, to having an ulterior motive. I am going to call them Cherie and Leta and make them form a band with the Joan Jett Barbie [...]
Something is not Right With Me
March 25, 2011
I had a really amazing week. Besides getting to see a Duran Duran show, visiting with good friends in California, actually meeting John Taylor, Roger Taylor and Moby (random but true, he was at the after party) and having a really good time people kept complimenting me. This might sound like a regular thing, but [...]
