Wednesday, September 01, 2010 My daughter, Margaret, started junior hi… I mean middle school three weeks ago. And while I’m correcting myself (which I find myself doing often now that she’s reached this age – not by choice – I might add) I should call her Meg – which she suddenly prefers. ANYWAY, Meg loves…

OMG! OMG! OMG!
Wednesday, August 25, 2010 Today was the release day of Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins! I’m a HUGE fan of the Hunger Games trilogy and have been dying to read this. It’s going to be my reward tonight for writing this blog and calling all my girl scouts about a meeting Saturday (which, by the way,…
Leslie Langtry is an Idiot.
Wednesday, August 18, 2010 I saw on the news today that this symbol, from your car’s dashboard is considered Idiot Proof – translation: Any Idiot can look at this and know immediately what is wrong with their car. And I didn’t come up with the phrase “Idiot Proof.” The automobile industry did. I now consider…
STIFF – It’s Not What You Think…
Wednesday, August 11, 2010 So, I’m reading this book by science writer, Mary Roach, called Stiff: The Curious Life of Human Cadavers. I know, so predictable… It is a very funny and engaging book. Roach writes about the different uses of human cadavers, from medical research, to organ donation, to testing the effects of weapons…
They’re Baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
Wednesday, August 04, 2010 Remember two years ago when I had that weird space plant? I named him Bob. You guys helped me figure out that he was a 7 ft. tall great mullein plant. There are more. Bob has been very busy. There are twelve. Well, not anymore. I had to take them down….
A Few Thoughts After A Reaaaaaally Long Couple of Days…
Wednesday, July 21, 2010 I started dieting. Why doesn’t rage burn calories? It seems like it should. I use it enough. I think 2000 calories burned per outburst would do. Give me a day where I drink nothing but diet shakes and by dinner I could burn 8,000 calories. In theory, I should lose 150…
Stupid Dogs and Their Stupid Need to Eat…
Wednesday, July 14, 2010 I’m out of dog food. Normally, this would not be a problem as there is a grocery store down the street. But it is after 11pm and nothing is open and my dogs are looking at me as though they are starving to death. Okay, so I look in the fridge….
Swedish Vampire Movies and Kids…
Wednesday, July 07, 2010 Okay, I thought today was Tuesday. Holidays throw me off like that. So, my bad. Mr. Assassin and I got Netflix through our Wii recently. And last night we finally watched our first movies on it. I may never leave the house again. Anyway, the first movie we watched was…can you…
Ooops. Premature Exasperation.
Wednesday, June 23, 2010 I should never, ever, post after a bottle of Mad Housewife Chardonnay, as evidenced by my premature post. Sorry to Christie! In my defense, we were eating caprese salads and my Mr. Assassin thought I should have some (a lot of) wine. It was a strange week…and it’s only Tuesday. As…
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere’s Tommy!
Wednesday, June 02, 2010 After 14 loooooooong months, Mr. Assassin has finally come home! It’s FANTASTIC to have him back. I did things I didn’t know I could do and I’ve actually learned a few things from this whole mess. I’d like to share my wisdom with you; 1) There are nights when Lucky…
