Fear not my friends. Guess what I found!
But now (shudder) I hear there’s a pumpkin shortage! Too bad someone didn’t tell the local fruit market—he seems to have plenty.
And finally, before I bid you adieu and quit procrastinating on another project, check out this article. I’m sure it will tug on your heartstrings. Won’t you [...]

My first awareness came when I rounded the corner in the freezer department of Publix. There was an annoying fellow talking loudly on his cell phone so I didn’t catch it at first. My bad angel, Marcella, wanted to accidentally on purpose run my buggy up his heels. Thankfully, I seized control of the moment. [...]

I nearly spat my coffee out watching this little ditty. You’ve heard of “Hot Yoga,” “Aerial Yoga” and now, I present to you…uh, uh…how about “Creepy Yoga?”
Remember boys and girls…Breathe! Breathe! (Note the one kid…I swear he looks like he’s stoned. Not that I’ve, uh, ever seen anyone stoned before…)

When I headed into the YMCA the other day I was ambushed by a ninja looking chick. She was dressed in black from head to toe and had a blond pony tail pulled through her cap and looked incredibly firm and agile.
“Would you like to try a boot camp demo?” she asked. Behind her, I [...]

Or does ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons in his appearance on the CMA Awards last night remind you of anybody? Well, here…you look:
Just sayin’….
We had fun watching the CMA awards last night. Though I will admit that after number 57, I quit counting Carrie Underwood’s dress changes.
It was delightful to see the humble Taylor Swift take [...]

This one can be filed under, “Yes You Too May Have a Label.”
“People might think it is a bit of a laughable affliction…but the actual sight of them fills me with dread and I could never touch them,” Vicki Larrieux, 22, a British student.
What, pray tell, terrorizes this young Brit? (Here’s the article.)

….goes “uuuuuummmmmmmmmm” and flies? (I’ll just be waiting right over here, kay?)
Give up?
Aerial Yoga!
I stumbled onto this disturbing trend the other day when I was reading a local magazine entitled Me! Me! Me!
It’s a magazine devoted to narcissistic women, women of means. This is evident by the advertisers, one of whom, I swear I’m not [...]

Imagine my shock when I saw an email from Darren Hardy, editor of Success Magazine in my inbox. This can only be good news. Success Magazine is one of my favorite reads; it’s bursting with encouragement and helpful teachings from some of the leading Zig Ziglar’s of the world.
But back to the email. I’ve once [...]

Yesterday I’m on the phone with Molly’s school. And like usual, I have to scurry back to my room to try to find a quiet place so I don’t sound like a babbling idiot, which I am these last few weeks, but I digress.

So, I put this ad on craigslist under “housing wanted” and tell about what a nice family we are….excellent credit, solid employment history…blah, blah,blah.
The fun thing about craigslist is one never knows what kind of nut cases one is going to attract. Of course, there are the usual responses from real estate vermin agents.
