Sometimes I think about things. Things like wombats, tricycles, and wombats riding tricycles. Check out my photo collection. It’s more interesting than my other collections…like USB drives and hair ties. A good facepalm is the greatest form of flattery. My dogs will beat up your honor student.

Creamsicle Cupcakes Recipe

I've been on a cupcake thing lately. I mean, sure, I could do something useful with my time, but I'd much rather combine sugar and butter into delicious things that make Bob Harper cry. (Note: I actually do eat cupcakes while watching The Biggest Loser. Such a rebel). Anyway, this is my ...

Turkey Soup with Corn Tortilla Topping Recipe

One of my passions is baking. Not like the kind that causes skin cancer and chronic OompaLoompaism, but the kind that involves ovens and ingredients (primarily sugar) and causes diabetes. Whatever. If I were single, I'd probably live on a menu written by the makers of Candyland. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), Hubby ...

Friends With Coins (Tales of Family Tech Support)

Have you ever tried to explain a simple concept to someone and had them just not get it? I’m not insulting anyone’s intelligence – there are people with more doctorates than they can count on their fingers who can’t find their Windows start menu. We all have our strengths and ...

Sneaky Elves (and other ways I almost ruined Christmas for kids)

First of all, I hope all three of you had a wonderful Christmas. Despite the few minor incidents of kidnapping and destruction of property, which I’ll get to in a minute, mine was fantastic. It was so full of fantasticality, in fact, that I have been avoiding taking down our decorations and ...

October 21, 2012 (Hot Yoga)

On April 7, 1988*, my cousin D dared me to eat a random mushroom we found growing in her grandmother (my aunt)’s backyard. In a lapse of good judgment (that’s only lasted from 1988 through 2012), I did it. Aside from dealing with panicking adults, I came out relatively unscathed. On ...

The Plague and Other Ickies

I can’t believe I’m writing this. Not because it’s so epically horrible or shocking (no, for that, please check out my friend The Cubicle's Backporch post titled "The Day I Shit My Pants" which, if I was cool enough to hand out awards, would totally earn "The Best Worst Shit ...

Bloggity blog blog.Last time, as The Perox Side Turns... I was learning Spanish for our anniversary trip to Mexico. Well, spoiler alert, I didn’t ...

Book Review: Dearly, Departed

 Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel Post-apocalyptic Victorians vs. Zombies  Plot Rating: Character Rating: Overall Rating   I admit it. For me, reading a fan-freaking-tastic series is a lot like being in a relationship. I get involved, fall madly in love, and sit on the couch with Ben and Jerry when it's over.  I don’t want to get ...

My Doctor’s Exams Should Be Multiple Choice

Three months ago, I started seeing a new doctor. I admit, I was a little biased against him even before my first visit because I wasn't  willingly seeing him, I was being forced because (choose your own adventure)... Story #1: My new insurance wouldn’t cover my meds person I’d been seeing for three years ...

Please Excuse My Spanish

Hola! I can’t believe in three short weeks we will be in Mexico. Three weeks may sound like a long time, but when you have to research everything you need to pack and buy the items you don’t already have and then make a list and then revise that list into ...
