A while back, I went to this legendary lady, Miss P, at J.C. Penney who measures and fits gals (my gals, in this case) for The Perfect Bra.
This mythical beast is one that doesn’t cause unsightly bulges, add inches to an already ridiculously large chest (why do they sell 40D’s with gel inserts???) or cause [...]

Wordless Wednesday I thought you might like to know what I do in my spare time, like when I’m not tickling unruly children into submission or washing away all thought of my stressful life with boxes of wine.
I fish animal skeletons out of creeks.
This was a deer who made his untimely exit not quite long enough ago [...]

Writing I’m in the process of printing out all the posts on this blog so I can look at them as a whole. Essentially, I’m copying and pasting everything into one gigantic Word document. And I’ll be damned if I don’t have a book’s worth of words.
I have spent nearly my whole life dreaming of one [...]

Writing I’m busy working. And not sitting on my ass all day because frankly, it’s killing me. I’m too old for this, and too poor to buy some kind of ergonomic chair.
So I’ll throw you a bone every once and a while for the next week or so.
Savor them, make them last, meditate on these things.
Wisdom [...]

Homemaking Made Easy I have made no secret of my lack of housekeeping skills. In fact, in a moment of folly I even posted photos. Photos, people!
The Parent Bloggers Network is having another blog blast this weekend, compliments of Pledge Multi-Surface Cleaner, and I’m flouncing my shame around in public in honor of the event.
I sit right now [...]

Poetry For your reading pleasure.
Some time ago, a strange gentleman, obviously not a native English speaker, was kind enough to offer to return to my blog for “Scatalogical Saturday.”
I understand he is indisposed at the moment, but perhaps they have wifi that reaches his cell. I don’t know.
But in honor of his probable return at some future date, I [...]

A Bit on the Dark Side,
Embarrassing Moments,
Naughty What? What’s that you’re saying?
It’s FIBER Friday?
Huh.
Anyhoo, all you moms out there know about multitasking, right? I mean, we think nothing of brushing our teeth while sitting on the toilet and paying bills, or breastfeeding and typing (otherwise, the acronym “nak” wouldn’t exist).
We wash dishes and help with homework while we cook supper and listen [...]

So we’re reading a bed time story last night, when Ethan decides he needs to go get something.
Me: But I’m reading the story, and you’ll miss it.
Ethan: JUST PAUSE IT!

Uncategorized It’s Therapy Thursday again, in case you didn’t know. So here’s my list. Did I miss anything?
Pink Dogwood blossoms
Listening to The Beatles
Sloppy baby kisses on the mouth
Singing badly to really loud music when I’m in the car by myself.
Squishing my toes in the mud after playing in a steamy, hot, Virginia summer thunderstorm.
Making people laugh.
Writing. [...]
