What a Doll

December 29, 2011

Share For those without properly printed calendars, yesterday was my birthday. The one day out of the year when I’m allowed to unapologetically hibernate on the couch and ask my family to wait on me hand and foot. Seeing how I do this apologetically the other 364 days of the year, by the time December [...]

Lamppost

December 28, 2011

Share Had Wikipedia been around in 1979, I wouldn’t be holding a 32-year old grudge against a Meadowbrook Elementary librarian. I know it’s probably time I let this go but of the scant number of memories I retained from that year, it’s one of only five that I can recall with absolute clarity. Memory #1: [...]

Every Time a Bell Rings, My Angel Hears Ka-Ching

December 23, 2011

Share Not much of a post today as I just wanted to wish everyone the most wonderful of holidays. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Apathetic Atheist Day, whatever it is you celebrate, I wish you nothing but the best. As for me, I’ll be spending my weekend watching football, taking Perry for a Christmas [...]

Santa the Cheapskate

December 21, 2011

Share I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. While easily snookered at the age of three by an uncle who arrived on Christmas Eve wearing red garbage bags and poorly glued cotton balls, I was well on to the charade by my sixth birthday. It wasn’t my parents’ fault. They did their [...]

Canine Regression

December 20, 2011

Share If it seems like my blog is dominated by talk of dogs with loose morals and even looser bowels, it’s because my life is dominated by dogs with loose morals and even looser bowels. When you’re awakened at 4am by the pungent stench of raw sewage only to discover a family room scene that [...]

Why Charlie Brown Would Hate Me

December 19, 2011

Share If Charlie Brown were a reader of mine, I’d probably be the second most hated person in his life. The first, of course, being his barber. Throughout the Peanuts Christmas special, Charlie Brown laments how the holidays have become too commercial. That people don’t appreciate or realize the true meaning of Christmas. So I [...]

Christmas Care

December 17, 2011

Share As per scary FTC regulations, I should probably mention that this is a sponsored post inspired by Genworth Financial. The opinions expressed are my own, which stands to reason, considering they don’t even know my mother. But if they did, I’m pretty sure I could amend this statement. If this hits home and you’re [...]

Share Answering a “Shuck Me Some Wisdom” Request! Dear Telling Dad, I am a twenty-something year old woman living in the south. I think I have feelings for one of my best guy friends, but I can’t tell if it is because I ACTUALLY have feelings for him or if it is because I have [...]

Perry and the Parade – Part 2

December 13, 2011

Share It only took me three days but I’m finally back with photos from Perry the Fire Engine’s inaugural parade. Actually, I only have pre-parade photos because it’s hard to take action shots when you’re part of the action. Granted, this “action” took place at roughly 1mph, but I wasn’t sure how the authorities would [...]

Mama Bird, Baby Bird

December 9, 2011

Share Our dog threw up $4 today. Again. Not $4 in real money. Just $4 in kibble equivalence. Apparently, his digestive system still isn’t used to expensive brown dog food. The cheaper brown dog food, which looks suspiciously identical to the expensive brown dog food, stayed down where it should…lodged in his stomach and intestinal [...]

Now In Theaters!

December 3, 2011

Share I apologize for my scant number of posts as of late but I have been absolutely swamped with tasks between holiday preparations, home life, and the sheer amount of work after opening my design studio. But, even with how busy I am, sometimes posts come along that pretty much write themselves. Like this little [...]
