WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 2011 It’s a new year! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (gasp for breath) oooooooooooooooooo! I had so many great plans for this year! Write new books! Lose 20 (okay, 30) lbs!

Once More Into The Breach, Dear Friends, Once More; Or Close The Wall Up With Our Lego Dead!
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 2007 Okay. So I’m a total Shakespeare geek. But there’s something about Henry V and Agincourt that rings true about Christmas at our house. No, we didn’t battle the French for dominance (although that might have been fun), and no, no actual Legos were harmed (seriously – their heads just pop back…
Blessed Are the Animals Who Will Screw Up Your Christmas…
Jingle, The Naughty Xmas Cat WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2007 Twas the week before Christmas And all through the house Not a bassett was stirring Of course, neither was my spouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care In hopes that (if I ever got my shopping done) St. Nicholas would be there. And…
Does This Imaginary Skirt Make My Imaginary Butt Look Big?
Leslie Langtry Hangs With Fab Pal Kim Castillo at Second Life Xmas Party WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2008 I just went to the best Xmas party! And I didn’t even mind that it was 10 degrees with six inches of snow outside. I flew over the party tents, rode ice horses and got to hang with…
The Divine Miss “M”
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 09, 2008 (The following was written by an author who has been driven insane by her deadline and too many Bette Midler songs on her iPod. There are no guarantees that this will make any sense. Read at your own risk. You have been warned.) The Magnificent Maleficent You know, it really is…
Thin Mints Be Damned!
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 04, 2009 I’m sick. My throat is sore, sinuses blocked, head aches and neck swollen. I know it’s bad because I’m surrounded by Girl Scout cookies and am not even interested. I can’t tell you how scary that is. Maybe the pod people took me. I wonder where I went? I hope someplace…
What I Am Thankful For…
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2010 My kids went to Disneyland this past weekend and this is their favorite picture I am thankful for Dove dark chocolates and believe the creators should win a Nobel Peace Prize. I know that eating those have given many, many idiots one more (no matter how underserving) chance at life. I…
What Would You DOOOOOO For A Klondike Bar?
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 2009 So I’m looking through the ads in the paper and see that Klondike Bars are on sale. And I get to thinking that it must be thirty years since I’d had one. And then I think, hell, I’m an adult now! I can buy my own Klondike bars! Kind of like…
The Agnostic’s Catholic Son & Other Tales of the Bizarre…
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2009 My little altar server! To those of you who have known me for a while, this may seem like a trip to the Twilight Zone. Yes, I was at the mass where my little boy did the altar thingy. No, I did not burst into flame…my hand didn’t even fall asleep….
What a Week
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 04, 2008 Monday was Mr. Assassin’s and my 19th wedding anniversary (yay us!). I’ve gained twenty pounds by selflessly hurling myself between my kids and literally hundreds of mini-Snickers bars from the Halloween stash. Today, Margaret got her first pair of eyeglasses, and last night history was made in a way I will…
