Holiday eating tips

December 11, 2006 – 6:11 pm

A friend of mine posted this on a forum today. I love it - my sentiments exactly!
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Christmas spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they’re serving rum balls.
2. Drink as much [...]

ice, snow, new house

December 4, 2006 – 9:51 pm

We’re all moved into the new house! YIPPEE!
On Thursday morning, as sleet pelted down & children across the city slept late (school closings), we closed on the house. Around 11:00am, we began loading Dad’s truck & trailer. By mid-afternoon, all the furniture & boxes were moved and only one car load [...]

May you always feel loved

November 28, 2006 – 9:53 pm

May you find serenity and tranquility in a world you may not always understand. May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be [...]

what’s that word again?

Phoebe was one the phone and when she finished her conversation, she asked what all she had gotten when shopping.
Monica said, “She bought a paper towel dispenser, a heater and two Afghanistans.” At our funny [...]

big imagination?

November 25, 2006 – 9:44 pm

A few months ago, when youngest daughter (10) stayed over at my sister’s house & got scared after watching “Hide and Seek,” I told her that she got scared so much because she has an overactive imagination. She asked me if that meant that people who like scary movies don’t have a big imagination - [...]

tail - or - mullett?

November 21, 2006 – 9:51 pm

Overheard:
So, I told my boyfriend that he cannot make fun of my kids’ tail (hair). His kid has a mullett and that’s worse!
Uhmmm, yeah. She really said that. I did not imagine it.
Didn’t tails go out of style when New Kids on the Block did? And how is a tail better [...]

ambulance - how do you say it?

November 20, 2006 – 9:30 pm

AMBulance
or
ambuLANCE
??
I say AMBulance. Always have. Whenever I hear someone saying ambuLANCE, it sounds really strange to my ears.
I heard two people talking today & it took me a minute to figure out what they were talking about because they were saying ambuLANCE and it sounded so foreign to me.

iPod lineup

November 17, 2006 – 10:00 pm

The Dave Ramsey show always winds up playing first - whether it’s first, last or in the middle of the podcast lineup on my iPod.
I just noticed this about a week ago & now I test it each day to see if it keeps happening.
It does.
