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? 

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 [...]

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. 
From what I can gather, a [...]

Okay, so I realize I’m a little tardy on posting the winner of my Pay it Forward contest, but cut me some slack here—I’ve been super busy hunting up random junk in my house to send her.  Oh, what a lucky lady she is…..
And the winner is….Playful Professional!
As fate would have it, she happens to [...]

So, yesterday somebody mentioned they’d like to win home-made cookies.  (And yes, the Pay It Forward contest is still on, so keep leaving those comments!  You have until the 4th of July to enter.  Check out my post on Pay It Forward and Swistle for more details).
I seriously considered adding some fresh yummies into the [...]

So, I was just surfing the blogosphere (okay, call it procrastinating, if you must), and came across Swistle’s site.  Apparently, she’s running a “Pay It Foward” contest.  No, you don’t have to run out and buy anyone a new Mercedes, and hopefully, no small children are going to die in our version.  Alas, there’s no Kevin Spacey [...]

At 1:30 pm on Saturday, I am hauling my butt to Target at warp speed (which, thanks to the vast array and disgustingly numerous amounts of yummies I’ve been consuming lately, is no small task).  My son has a birthday party to get to by 3:00, and of course, we don’t have a present yet.  I don’t know how many preschooler parties you’ve attended [...]

So, last night I went to one of those Tastefully Simple parties.  You know the ones—where they let you sample food in hopes you’ll buy a ton of crap, and somehow, if they sell enough, some random lady out in the Midwest scores a vanity-plate Hyundai.  No, that  can’t be right–it’s illegal to put a vanity plate on those.  [...]

I have a confession to make—I’m a Target dollar bin junkie.  I seriously must have the biggest collection of their random holiday crap on the face of the planet.   When I see all those little holiday knick-knacks, thingamajigs, and doo-hickeys, I just lose it.  I don’t care that they’re utterly useless, that they’re going to fall apart as [...]
