Bathroom habits are usually a really personal subject, and honestly very few people want to hear about other peoples routines. After viewing Cottonelle's "Test Your Cleaning Logic" videos, I dont' feel so awkward anymore, and neither should you! The videos were captured with hidden cameras. The people in the videos were "treated" to a few … [Read more...]
When bloggers travel... I am sitting here on an Amtrak train, surrounded by all of my "stuff". My bag was extremely heavy this time around (I take the train a couple of times a month), and I started asking myself...why. Why oh why. Then I took a quick inventory in my head and it all makes sense. Here is what my small rolling backpack consists … [Read more...]
Driver's training...someone hold me. So my daughter got her driver's permit a couple of months ago. Yeah. If you haven't yet had the pleasure of taking your teenager out with their sparkling, brand new driver's permit, you are in for a treat (total sarcasm here). Before you start to think that I'm a terrible parent for writing about this, she … [Read more...]
Raising kids, especially two boys, means having our fair share of arguments and tug-of-war games to referee. Not too long ago our three-year-old took a toy from his younger brother. I explained to him that if they were going to fight over a toy, I would have to take it away and that no one would be able to play with it. That’s when it … [Read more...]
As I grow older, I notice things that I never thought would happen to me somehow. Do these happen to you? You know you're growing older when... 1. You can't remember how old you are! Just yesterday, I could not remember and had to count the decades on my fingers to find out my age (because I don't think I ever got past a kindergartner's … [Read more...]
Whenever I am in the wine section of a store, I am always "tickled" by the names of the wines. I have been taking pictures of some funny ones to share with you. I hope you enjoy them too! Gnarly Head...ummm. The Naked Grape - cute! 7 Deadly Zins. Zins - get it? Rex Goliath. This one is just so strange, but funny nonetheless. Menage a … [Read more...]
Newman is always into trouble (shocking, I know). Well he is not supposed to be on the counters, and he knows this all too well. We have discussed this ad nauseam. He seemed to be listening, but who really knows with cats. We have a rolling cart in the middle of the kitchen that has a metal top and on the side a wood area with slots for … [Read more...]
I'm a shrimp. My parents were both short and they passed on the short genes to me - I stand about 5'2. Sometimes it makes my life harder by being so short, but there are also advantages. For one thing, I can easily walk under cabinets that people leave open in the kitchen! Another advantage is that if I fall, I don't have as far to go before … [Read more...]
I've explained in my past couple of Ball Park franks posts how men are easier fed than understood. I realize this more each and every day, as my husband so kindly compliments me after every homemade meal. I believe the way to their hearts are through their stomach (I guess it's a good thing I am an excellent cook - if I do say so … [Read more...]
My dear Newman loves to help me with just about everything. Whether he is knocking over the recycling bag in the kitchen (to make sure that everything in there IS in fact recyclable), or whether he is criss-crossing in front of me going down the stairs (you know, to make sure it is safe for my venture downstairs), he is always by my side … [Read more...]
