Not too long ago, I sent in an article to eharmony, in hopes of getting a writing gig.  Guess what?  I-Got-Published!
Okay, so it’s not like I’m going to be short-listed for the Pulitzer or anything.  Or even that I finally  finished that heinous romance novel I started over five years ago (poor Drake and Sophie–they at [...]

Oops–just a few words first.  Don’t forget to enter my contest–it ends Thursday night (and a new one will begin).
As far as WW goes, Just call me indecisive…..

Dogs:

The great purge has finally arrived.  And it’s about time.
No, not that kind of purge–I enjoy my yummies entirely too much to sully their memory with the flavor of vomit.  Besides, we don’t clean our toilets enough for me to chance sticking my face inside ours on a daily basis.
No, I’m talking about a stuff purge.  As in, cleansing our [...]

So, I’m thinking this is not what the Happy Heiny’s manufacturer intended when they called this diaper an “all-in-one”.  But really—doesn’t it make a perfect hat? 

Everybody’s a fashion critic these days—even Finley.   And here’s what she had to say about my Tar-jay bling bling sandals:

(In case you’re wondering—yes, that is a gi-normous pile of baby spit-up.  On my foot.)

My mom used to say, “Everybody has a talent.”  Or maybe that was Claire Huxtable.  At any rate, the important thing to note here is that I subscribe to this theory. 
Unfortunately for me, not all talents are created equal. 
For example, my ”special” ability involves remembering impossibly random 80’s songs and lyrics.  This skill (and I use that [...]

This morning was pirate dress-up day at preschool.  And water play day.  I suppose the two are compatible—after all, pirates did live on ships most of their lives.  Still, I felt a little strange having my son don striped pirate breeches over his blue and orange plaid bathing suit.  I mean, what would Stacey and [...]

….and just in the nick of time!
“Hound dogs make the best friends”

What NOT to do when attempting the word challenge:
1)  Do not pronounce the word with all the clarity of someone who just downed a pitcher of Everclear martinis.  People will look at you like you’ve been smoking crack in a closet for the past five years.
2)  Do not be foolish enough to choose two words [...]

I have a confession to make.  Being semi-new to the blogosphere, I’m not 100% certain what a “meme” is.  Or, for that matter, how to pronounce it.  Hubby says he thinks it’s pronounced “meem”.  But it could be ”Mee Mee”, or “May May”, for all I know.  Hopefully, somebody will enlighten me soon.
