Pierced Ears

Last year, while some friends were visiting from out of town, my daughter and I tagged along while my friend's daughter got her ears pierced. I pierced mine to show her that it wasn't all that painful. I wrote about the experience and didn't think much more about it. Occasionally when my daughter and I were visiting the mall we would come by a Claire's

I’m Opening a Shoppe

I have some of my best ideas before I wake up. At least they seem that way for a couple of hours after waking. This morning was no different. I woke up with an idea for a great little shop. I live close to Grand Ave. On the avenue are tons of little boutiques and shoppes that cater to people who have gobs of money

A Watched Pot

I got nothing for you. I know it's pretty lame to post when I have nothing but I can't stand to see that my last post was last Thursday. It just really drives me crazy. I was laid off on Thursday so I should have plenty to write about but I just don't. I've been trying to get my grass to grow, the stuff on

I Got My Mojo Back… I Think

I do believe I have gotten my mojo back. I finally got another car. After a week of searching on line and in real life I bought a Hyundai Tuscan. I'm frankly surprised at how depressing the whole thing was. While I initially was philosophical about the accident, maybe even flippant, it soon dawned on me that not having a reliable vehicle was a pain

I’m Turning Into a Bad Neighbor

Or I might be becoming a redneck. I'm not sure. I have (I hope) fixed everything that has gone wrong in my house in the last month. I have replaced the washing machine, dryer and dishwasher. Okay, I didn't replace them, I hired or begged big strong men to do it, but I made the calls. The problem I have now is that all my

The Electrician Arrives Tomorrow

So I didn't get to my new SEO Monday post. I'll try again tomorrow. No, today I had to go to the laundromat again, and hopefully for the last time since tomorrow.... The Electrician Is Coming! He's coming to install the four pronged plug that I need for my dryer that has been sitting in my garage for the last year and a half. Not

Crap!

Literally. Some irresponsible lazy ass jerk let his or her dog crap on my sidewalk and then didn't pick it up. Don't we have laws about this sort of thing? It's right before Christmas and someone is tempting fate. This person deserves a big stinking lump of crap in their stocking. I'm tempted to make a sign pointing to the excrement and telling them they

We have to have another talk

I registered my five year old for kindergarten on Friday. When we were finished with the process the person who performed the intake gave my daughter a backpack filled with school supplies and other trinkets. My daughter was very pleased with her new backpack. In this backpack was a pair of safety scissors. Blunt tip but still sharp. I have talked with my daughter many

Things I used to enjoy but now can’t stand

Folding the laundry, especially socks. Cooking dinner. Making my bed. I used to love folding the laundry especially in the winter time. I felt as if I accomplished something big by sorting, folding, and putting away the clothes. Now it’s just a huge pain. Socks are the worst. My son has feet that are really just big canoe paddles and he wears his socks outside,

Optical Illusions

I recently had to explain optical illusions to my 5 year old daughter.  About a month ago my ex husband took down my daughter's ceiling fan. The fan didn't work and it needs to be replaced but when he took it down he discovered that there was no box and old knob and tube. He put in a box but has not rewired yet so there
