This weekend while helping to man* the group yard sale several of my friends had on the other side of town, I shared my latest conspiracy theory. I guess it’s not really my latest one as it’s actually the only one I’m subscribing to at this moment. I’m not much of a conspiracy theorist, but [...]

A new kind of pain
I’m pretty darn sure I’ve broken my toe. And not just any toe, but my big toe. The one I use for, well, everything I do on my feet.
I was climbing over the baby gate that stands in between the kitchen and the dining room (we have a freakishly small door frame and cannot find [...]

Go ahead, decorate your yard with trash
In my neighborhood there is a house with a beautifully landscaped front yard. As long as the ground isn’t frozen, it is awash in color. There is a little pagoda set like an island among a sea of purple, blue and gold. I’m not sure what all the flowers are, since there are at least a [...]

The latest in an endless sting of diets
I’m on a diet. This is not entirely a shock seeing as I’ve been on a diet since I was 12. Not the same diet, of course, otherwise I probably wouldn’t need a diet so much as counseling for my eating disorder. I have, however, been dieting on and off since middle school.
Diets suck. It [...]

A sleep conspiracy
I think my husband may be drugging our son. Not in a call Child Protective Services sort of actually drugging my son sort of way, but in a they are somehow conspiring to drive me crazy kind of way.
See, during the school year, I get up every morning with my son except Saturdays. This makes [...]

The ultimate trump card
Apparently all of my neighbors are racists. At least that’s what the woman who lives across the street told her son. Well, more like yelled at him. I don’t think she is actually capable of talking the way most human beings understand it. Of course, that could be because everytime I get within five feet [...]

Vegas, a few last words
Ok, so this will be the last of my Vegas posts. At least until I decided to visit again. There were some fun and interesting things I wanted to talk about that didn’t really seem to fit in any of the other blogs, so, here goes…
-I saw an Elvis impersonator. Despite the 90+ temps, he [...]

Vegas revisited
Ok, so now that I have the airport security rant out of my system, I can actually deliver the list of things about Vegas that are distinctly Vegas, yet definitely disturbing. Don’t misunderstand, the trip was great and I’d probably even do it again, but as with nearly every vacation, there were a few things [...]

Saving the world, one 3 oz. bottle at a time.
So I raved on (and on I realize) about the great parts of Vegas. However, under it’s neon sheen of abundance and glamour (albeit a strange, cruise-shipesque glamour), there are definitely things about Vegas that bugged the heck out of me and make a return trip just a tad less likely. I have a top [...]

Vegas, Baby
It’s after 11 and while normally my head would be sinking into my pillow, I am wide awake right now. See, I’ve just returned from a four day mini-break in Las Vegas and while my eyes and brain clearly see it is nearly midnight, my body is convinced it’s only 8. It’s just now ready [...]
