Wednesday, July 20, 2011 The troop at Iniabi with their counelors I went to camp and all I got was this muddy gaggle of girls. Okay, I had a good time too. Last weekend, my co-leader, Julie-The-Amazing and twelve girls from our troop went to camp, four hours north on the border of Minnesota and…

Life Is Just A Bowl of Jelly – Or How I Became An Animal Hoarder…
Wednesday, July 06, 2011 This time, it wasn’t my fault. Nope. Can’t blame me. Mr. A is trying…but he can’t pin this one on me. Apparently, I ALLEGEDLY adopt a new animal every time he’s deployed. This, of course, isn’t true. But he likes to tell that “story” every time he’s around someone new. One…
My Dove Wrappers Are Inappropriate, Part Deux…
Wednesday, June 22, 2011 It’s that time again! My Dove wrappers have been talking to me, and saying the strangest things. So, I thought I’d share these with you: “It’s OK to be fabulous AND flawed!” So – this justifies the fact that I’m a goddess who turns into stark raving lunatic once a month…
I’m Not Sure I Can Do This…
Wednesday, April 27, 2011 I know, that’s a strange thing for me to say. I’m the woman who once had a six-foot long pet iguana named Cedric…who rescued a crow who’s feet were frozen and took care of him until he was okay…who rescued mice from my cats at the old farmhouse we lived in…who…
I Need A Vacation…
Wednesday, March 16, 2011 I need a vacation. Or I’ll eat people. Or I’ll be naked in the bell tower. Or I’ll take hostages at the local Dairy Queen. I’m serious. I haven’t really had a vacation in 3 years. We’ve had a couple weekend getaways, but nothing where we’re just sitting on a beach,…
70% More Sausage, and My Ass
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 02, 2011 Sorry for the suggestive name of this blog. I just got that. (Warning – upcoming photo might be for mature audiences or bruise fetishists only.) After picking up Hot (Breakfast) Pockets for my son yesterday (his drug of choice), I noticed the package. It says (as you can see) 70% more…
Leslie Wonders About Turkey…
Wednesday, January 05, 2011 I was reading my Walt Disney World Trivia Book the other day, when I came across this item: Did you know? The world-famous turkey legs sold throughout WDW come from 40-50lb. turkeys. Each leg weighs 1.5lbs. Whoa. Now, I’m no expert here, but I’ve baked, deep fat fried, (and other things…
Dear Santa…I Want a Dung Beetle for Christmas…
Wednesday, December 08, 2010 And I want a big one! Do you know how hard it is to find dung beetles to buy online? I feel like some sleazy web surfer looking for a coeleoptic fix. Oh sure, I know I can get dung beetles if I’m a rancher. But they run $500 for 1,000…
Hump? What Hump…
Wednesday, November 10, 2010 Well…hellllllllo there! I am actually writing this on Sunday. Monday, my hump goes under the knife. That’s right, the ganglion cyst that has taken up residence on my right wrist, is outta here. It’s huge – about 1.5 inches in diameter and the bastard hurts (obviously, my ganglion cyst is male)….
Son of Leslie Langtry
Wednesday, September 22, 2010 Last night, my ten-year old son, fruit of my loins, wait…do women have loins? Anyway, he lost his phone. It isn’t that unusual. Jack loses all of his electronic devices. The Nintendo only visits occasionally and never shows up at the same time as the charger. The cell phone is always…
