Your What Hurts?
When met with a strange-sounding statement or something he didn’t quite understand, the Fab Hub will often ask the speaker, “Your what hurts?” It gets a laugh – or at least a quizzical look – every time. So when I saw a headline at MSN.com the other day began with the question, “What’s a Yurt?”…
The Answer is No
I’m trying to decide if I am sad or not. Lately, Kidzilla has been asking for a little brother or sister.
Descent into Rotten Cat Hell
Sometimes a Rotten Cat just goes too far. I have been patient with the monster who clawed my carpet. Wanted hard wood floors anyway…now we have an excuse to actually pursue the conversation. I have put up with their Rotten Cat mewing and rubbing. After all, a good Rotten Cat foot rub followed by a…
Who Knew?
What did we ever do without Google? I find it simply fascinating that Googl-ing is verb – as in to Google something. Ask a question to which no one in the near vicinity knows the answer and some wise soul will suggest that you “Google it” to find the answer. I like verbs. I like doing. People…
Five Friday Favorites (on Monday) – Thanksgiving Weekend Edition
I probably could have called this the “broken” edition of Friday Favorites considering we have a broken microwave and at least two other things around the house that need to be repaired. Do wild animals live here? Instead, I have simply collected my favorites from this long holiday weekend in hopes that it will make…
Put On Your Thanksgiving Pants!
There’s no way around it. No matter who you are, what you eat for Thanksgiving dinner, where you go or whom you spend it with, Thanksgiving is all about food. You don’t even have to like the holiday, but eventually, everybody’s gotta eat.
Soup of the Week – Bridal Edition
It is time once again for Soup of the Week! I know, I know…the last edition of Soup of the Week was way more than a week ago. There was this little inconvenience called Super-Obnoxious-Storm Sandy in there so we were without power for a few days. Then there was the week of dealing with the…
Mother-Daughter Haircuts
Kidzilla and I took a trip to the salon for haircuts this afternoon. Finally! We were both way overdue and it feels great to have a fresh cut and style. I always love and hate my hair right after a cut. On the one hand, it feels healthy and smooth and what I call “swingy.” …
Not On A School Night!
I can still hear my Mom’s voice responding to whatever the current request was at the moment… “Can we watch a TV show that comes on at ten o’clock?” Not on a school night. “Can we make brownies?” Not on a school night. “Can Susie Bestfriend sleep over?” Not on a school night. “Then can I…
Friday Favorites (on Saturday)
I love Friday nights. There is something about the start of a few days with no commitments, no obligations, and only the possibility of filling it with whatever you choose to do or not do, as the case may be. Somehow Friday was the longest day ever. Usually, the day flies by pretty fast for me,…
