Facebook is convincing me that we are at the end of any possible advancement as a species.
Take the “We’re Related” application.
Essentially, you can add your relatives, who then add theirs, etc., so you can see exactly why that nephew of yours is a little off, what with his parents being second cousins and everything.
I once [...]

I have had many, many jobs.
I have been a gas station attendant, a dish washer, a car washer, a book store clerk, an art store clerk, an environmental department cubicle dweller, an analytical lab tech chemist type person, a butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker. But the last three I don’t get paid for, since [...]

I’ve heard it said that it takes a village to raise a child. This idea was popularized by Hillary Clinton when she named her world domination plan book after the idea, ostensibly an African proverb. While there is some argument about the origin of the phrase, it is in close keeping with many cultural ideas [...]

I’ve been doing this blog thing for a while now. Believe it or not, I existed before I was “discovered” by Ram Ventkaartakarawhatever. But since his comment, I find myself deluged by well-meaning but crazed visitors.
So in the interest of holding their (and your) interest – I bring you a resurrected post from the early [...]

I was very proud of myself for finding all the necessary pieces of my cappuccino machine this morning. As you know, if you read this post, this is no small feat.
Of course, it’s not working properly.
And now I’ve spent so much effort putting it together, I no longer have the wherewithall to make coffee.
So due [...]

Ethan, the four year old autistic one? He sometimes acts like he’s a dog.
He flounces around on all fours, barks, and brings stuff to me in his mouth. He even licks me, but that could just be unresolved oral issues.
I humor him, because I think it could be a useful skill at some point. You [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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!

Interestingly, my biggest motivator and friend, Melissa, is also celebrating her 100th post TODAY! I guess we both started taking our writing more seriously about the same time, only she was much more disciplined than I was for a while. Then she started nursing school, and with four kids and a husband to take care [...]
