I just can’t help myself–helping my first grader with her homework makes me feel like I’m a genius. Well, maybe not a genius, but at bit like Alex Trebek at a Spelling Bee, “I’m sorry (sweetie), the correct answer is B-I-K-–E.” I realize this feeling will only last as long as her times tables are […]
Things Which Are An Affront To My Husband’s Masculinity Which I Don’t Understand, But Have Learned To Accept
Alleged Affront: Using a staw. His explanation: You never saw John Wayne use a straw, did you? Alleged Affront: Walking a dog who is wearing a sweater. His explanation: Is self-explanatory. Alleged Affront: Checking Luggage. His Explanation: Baggage Claim is for amateurs. Alleged Affront: Shampoo and then condition. His explanation: Why do in two steps […]
McSweeney’s Bundle Jumble
If you are interested in writing, or writers, or reaching new heights in absurdity and wit through storytelling, you should read McSweeney’s “Believer.” Not to be bossy or anything, but McSweeney’s is offering a bundle of past issues for $15 ($15 I say!) Look here for proof. I ordered “The Believer Book of Writers Talking […]
OC Post Marries in Private Ceremony
The big news here in Orange County is the OC Post married The Irvine World News last week in a private ceremony. I am overjoyed that the Post has finally found someone who appreciates his slight stature and brevity. The Post and I dated briefly in the beginning of 2007, but it didn’t work out […]
Friday Five: Random stuff and One Speech-Centered Pet Peeve
1) Office Slang: Find out the meaning of “Alpha Geek” or “Beepilepsy,” my personal favorite. 2) Steve Job’s MacWorld Speech 2008: Steve Job’s 90 minute keynote speech in 60 seconds–just as good as the full version (maybe better). 3) Bobby Fischer Quotes: Some of the best, “Don’t even mention losing to me. I can’t stand […]
I Want To Be A Pre-Peeled Orange Mom
Another blissful day at Disneyland yesterday (read about my love for Disneyland Here.) You know you are dialed-in to the “Mom” scene of Orange County when you run into more then two people you know at Disneyland–which I did. (pictured right, Lisa, Nicole, Jana and Jill) While there, I was intrigued by a mom who […]
Received an email from my old friend, Kristy (see her hair, 1985, here), today. She said she heard this song on the radio this morning and thought of me, nothing could have made me happier. (Haircut 100, Love Plus One) This video receives the “Most Unclear On Concept” award, but I still love it. Congrats […]
“Honey, I am going to have to write you up for tonight’s dinner”
Sometimes I think if being a housewife were an actual “Job” I would get fired, or at least I would be on probation. I enjoy being a mom and a wife, more then enjoy it, I love it. But the actual talent needed to be a good housewife– cooking, cleaning, shopping for bargains–I simply lack. […]
Dishy Looks in The New Boden
I LOVE to shop the clothing catalogue Boden USA , Here. Everything I have gotten from them has been well-made and beautiful. Because it is a British outfit (pitiful pun), they charge no sales tax and always have some kind of free shipping and free returns deal. If you order their catalogue, you will receive […]
Bye-Bye OC Post
The OC Register announced today (here) it is, in essence, halting the publication of the OC Post as we know it. I had written about my very messy and public break-up with the newspaper, (here). The demise of the Post makes me a little sad, I really liked the idea of a leaner, more precise […]
