Tweet If you’re a regular reader of my blog, then you already know The Diva has an attitude. However, since she turned eight a mere ten days ago, it’s gotten worse. We’re talking fifteen-year-old girl hormonal bad. She’s rolling her eyes at me! ME!! Her mother. the one that doesn’t act like my mother. I’m [...]
Tweet It’s been a bit since I did one of these, but I’ve been busy gathering ammo. Who else is going to take the time to steal images from other people’s Facebook pages scour the web for funny pictures fitting a particular theme? This takes skill, people! And time. Lots of time. Plus, I need [...]
Tweet It’s March 1, 2013, which is my 42nd birthday. I was happy this year because no one in my Husband’s family had died in February, so no funeral on my day this year. WOOT! I thought this was going to be a good one. Then three things happened: First: Obama and Congress are locked [...]
Tweet And yes I do mean it’s cold here in SoCal. Really, truly, bitterly cold. If we were located a bit more north or east, it would be snowing. Or we’d have ice. So, no, it’s not always sunny and 75 degrees here in Southern California. Most of the time it’s hot as hell, but [...]
Tweet It’s no secret that I LOVE bacon and think that it makes everything better — well, except that bacon flavored lube because that’s just plain disgusting — but I hate cooking it. The grease, getting hit by hot grease, always having to watch it so it doesn’t burn…you get the picture. Plus, I only [...]
Tweet I always come up with FABULOUS ideas for clothing, accessories or home decor. And then I go on an exhaustive search to stores and internet sites only to find that what was in my head does not exist. Or it does exist, but is extremely cost-prohibitive. Sometimes these thoughts are inspired by a color, [...]
Tweet I’ve read all the parenting books. I’ve even watched SuperNanny while laughing my ass off. I’ve taken away much-loved toys, blankies, makeup and TV. I’ve tried to employ all of the supposedly “effective” parenting tactics, to no avail. I’ve spanked. I’ve yelled. I’ve threatened to duct tape her inside a closet and/or beat her like an unwanted, red-headed step-child. [...]

Tweet Today is your 8th birthday and I couldn’t be prouder or more in awe of you. Mostly because I was just holding you in my arms the other day, I blinked and you are now eight-years-old. Where did the time go, little girl? How did you get so big, so fast? In the last [...]

Tweet My girl, well she’s very imaginative. And very generous. She is also kind-hearted and believes that with just a little magic and a couple of wands, she can make all the bad people in the world turn nice and make all our dreams come true. I don’t know how I’m going to tell her [...]
Tweet I was recently given the opportunity to review an advanced copy of The Odd Life of Timothy Green (in stores December 4, 2012). We watched it on Thanksgiving night and we loved it. The Diva said her favorite part was when “he comes up out of the garden”. Personally, I liked the whole thing. [...]

Tweet Do you know about all the varied uses for that box of Arm & Hammer baking soda languishing away in your refrigerator? We all get that it can keep your fridge fresh and help clean the laundry, but were you aware that it can exfoliate your skin and make your mashed potatoes fluffier? Or [...]
Tweet Today, I honor all the veterans in my life and in this country who shed their blood, sweat and tears to keep ALL OF US free from Socialist and Communist rule. The fact that you can protest a war, a company, an institution, a politician or a president without fear of persecution and have [...]

Tweet Let me start out by saying that Autumn is my most favorite season, followed by Winter. Well, the idea of those seasons are my favorites. I’ve never actually lived through a real Fall or Winter. I live in Southern California, we have TWO seasons: hot as hell or cold as hell. Each accompanied by [...]
