We Are The House Of Phlegm. And Puke.

We are the house of phlegm now. And puke. And fevers. My family has been hit hard with a nasty virus that will not die. It just keeps morphing into something new every two days. The Diva caught this thing the weekend before last. She had a fever, stuffy nose and cough and was home […]

The One Where I Let Her Go To Her First Sleepover, Part Deux

Remember a couple weeks ago where I said The Diva was going to go on her first sleepover? Well that didn’t happen. The little girl’s older brother got sick, so the Grandfather called to cancel at about 3 pm the day we were supposed to do it. Then I didn’t hear from anyone. I tried […]

The Tooth Fairy Pays WHAT?!?!

Last Saturday night, The Diva announced that she had a loose tooth. Her first loose tooth. She’s very excited. I’m a little weirded out. I didn’t think she would start losing teeth at this age, but apparently this is all normal. So now I get to play The Tooth Fairy. It dawned on me yesterday […]

The One Where I Let Her Go To Her First Sleepover

I thought I had more time. I didn’t think I would be faced with this particular situation quite yet. I thought maybe it would happen next year, not in kindergarten. But I have agreed, with great trepidation, to allow The Diva to have a sleepover at a classmate’s house tomorrow night. I am still not […]

Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot…

…And never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot and days of Auld Lang Syne…     [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acxnmaVTlZA&w=550&h=456]  Auld Lang Syne Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and days of auld lang syne*? CHORUS: For auld lang syne, my jo, for auld lang syne, we’ll […]

And The Rain Keeps Coming…

It’s raining, it’s pouring. The old man is snoring… Yes, more rain is on its way to SoCal. Like we didn’t get enough already when it began raining on December 16th and did not stop until the 22nd. I am not exaggerating. It rained for six straight days. That just simply does not happen here. […]

Just Another Wordless Wednesday…{Santa Was Stoned}

Look closely at Santa’s eyes…does he not look like he is stoned? Methinks Santa was toking on the ganja with the elves behind the toy shop. Doesn’t The Diva look adorable? I loved that dress because it reminded me of a big Christmas present. And no, the stoned elves did not make the picture look […]

Really, I Do Want To Be Eco-Friendly

I actually do try to be eco-friendly as much as my shoestring budget will allow, contrary to what some think. I recycle all of our glass, plastic and aluminum because I can get money back for it. And it’s out of my house when I take it to the center. I use CFL light bulbs […]

The Diva’s Christmas Program 2010

I realize it’s after Christmas, but I was busier than a one armed man in an ass kicking contest last week so I didn’t have time to post these pictures and videos. But Christmas is my favorite holiday and I look at it as keeping the Christmas feeling going a little longer. Without further adieu, […]

My Purse Is Sounding It’s Own Death Knell

I have this purse that I absolutely love, but it’s sounding it’s own death knell. It’s dying a slow, painful death. I am very picky when it comes to my leather handbags. It must be the right color, the leather must be like butta, it must be stylish and able to withstand all the abuse […]
