Read MoreAngry Birds is Coming to a TV Near You!
If you haven’t heard of Angry Birds yet, don’t worry, you will soon. Actually you should be a little concerned because as trends go this one is hot. Even Dick Chaney knows about Angry Birds. Angry Birds is a cute little game for the iPhone, iPad and many other devices. In a nut shell you aim birds at a target and try to knock it down. In the version we have been playing since Christmas you try to hit pigs. Annoying little pigs who grunt and mock your (my) inability to topple over the structures they hide in and thus destroy them. It’s an addicting game, believe me....

Thank you all you...

Image by iansand via Flickr My boy has spent the last week house sitting at his dad’s, while they are on vacation. I miss my son. A lot. At first, I didn’t think it would be a bad thing, less laundry to wash, fewer dishes in the sink, and no bickering between the kids. It hasn’t worked out that way except for the laundry part. The boy still stops by the house on his way to and from work to eat a little something. In those few moments he is home he manages to pick on his sister just long enough for her to get all worked up for the rest of the day. I still miss him. Usually...
