#TBCcrafters Week 1: How To Make A Holiday Ribbon Barrette Or Pin
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, ribbon […]
Welcome To The 8th Level Of Hell. Or Autumn In Southern California.
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 the […]
Cool Halloween Pumpkins
If you appreciate art in all its forms or just love Halloween, this post is for you! Every year, I try to think of a new way to carve our jack-o-lantern that will amaze The Diva. And let’s face it, she’s seven (and a half!), nearly everything awes her. Plus, I have this secret fantasy […]
Never Forget, Never Again: 9/11 Eleven Years Later
Today marks another 9/11 anniversary. Eleven years since the world changed and unimagined fear and terror touched every citizen of this country.

Is Your Teen Addicted To Porn?
A couple months ago, I saw a story on Nightline (ABC) about porn and teens. I was shocked. Kids are “sexting” much more often than they are texting each other and they are watching pornography like it’s the latest teen flick of the week. Nude pictures sent by young girls through their cell phones is […]
The Simple Fix For The Blogger Blog Redirection To Kunoichi (dot) info Problem
Recently, I noticed that a few blogs I read hosted on the Blogger (blogspot) platform were redirecting to a parked page for kunoichi . info. On most of these sites, you can usually briefly see a post with some variation of “I’VE BEEN HACKED!!!” as the title. On one of the blogs, I quickly hit […]
Missing Me In Your Google Friend Connect Widget?
So are you? Missing me in your Google Friend Connect Widget, I mean? Yes? Well that’s because I switched to WordPress a long time ago! But, since Blogger stopped the use of the Google Friend Connect Widget for all non-Blogger blogs in March — on my birthday, no less — it has occurred to me […]
With Age, Comes Wisdom. And Black Chin Hairs. At 41. Damn.
Today is my 41st birthday. I have been told all my life that with age, comes wisdom. No one ever mentioned the black chin hairs. Why is that? Shouldn’t all the woman books have said something about the black chin hairs we will get as we enter our fourth decade of life? Those ones that […]
Has Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Message Been Subverted?
Yes, I asked the question. Has Martin Luther King, Jr.’s message been subverted? Before you blurt out an answer, stop and think about it first. In a time where the Democrats have taken a great man’s legacy, who was a registered Republican, by the way, and made him their defacto mascot for all things liberal […]
Conversations About My Phone
Anyone Who Tries To Call Me At Home: Why don’t you ever answer your phone? Me: The Diva gave it a bath a while back and it doesn’t ring anymore. AWTTCMAH: Why don’t you just buy a new one? Me: It works fine except for the not ringing part. Oh and I dropped one of […]

LMFAO Uses Light Show From One Of Our Local Residents On The AMA’s!!
Remember the Halloween light show I posted about? It was very cool and at the time was the most popular light show in the country. Well last night I was watching the AMA’s and LMFAO closed the show. I thought, “Ok they HAVE to do at least some reference to the Halloween light show”. And they […]
