Topher, my-daughter-that-wishes-to-remain-anonymous, and I were sitting around the dinner table the other night discussing strange and unusual things about ourselves. Well, it turns out we're about as strange as Morticia, Gomez and Wednesday. I'm pretty certain they may revolt if I share their quirks (I know my teenager would disown me), so I am bravely going to pass along a few of my own. The shortened list is as follows: I almost never eat with spoons. I don't know what it is I just ... VIEW POST
Weird things
Look For The Signs
Yesterday my daughter was home from school sick. I was tired, and I thought how nice it would be to just veg out with her in the basement watching movies all day. Then the little voice in my head reminded me that I have errands to run, a new blog post was due, and I had multiple projects to work on. I also reminded myself that she's 15 and will only be under my roof for another 3 1/2 years. That makes me sad. At this age, we can have some pretty nasty fights, but a lot of the time we have ...

If Only There Were Thanksgiving Carols…
This morning, I looked over at Topher and nonchalantly said, "I'm ready to put my tree up." He replied, "Christmas tree?" And I said, "Yep." I know I haven't packed away my Halloween decorations yet, but as soon as I do I want a Christmas wonderland. Thanksgiving decorations are kind of lame, so I just want to fast forward to my favorite holiday. Topher disagrees. He thinks it's too soon. I usually but my tree up on the day after Thanksgiving (which he thinks is too early), but I think ... VIEW POST
What a Doll
I have this memory, from way back in my childhood, of sitting in the passenger seat of my grandma's giant Buick, watching her scan the small town's side streets with her eagle eyes, my small hands ready to pry open the huge car door and chase her up the next driveway, pursuing another treasure hunt. After my grandpa passed away, she had to find a way to support herself and my cousin, whom she was raising. She started going to garage sales and buying antique dolls. She would buy dolls for ...

I Wanna Be a Star
I was watching Dancing with the Stars last night, and I decided I am going to be on that show. I am currently weighing the pros and cons. Cons: Bloody, painful feet. They show the stars with their feet covered in blisters and band-aids when they take off their pretty dancing shoes. It takes me a while to learn things (can you say kickboxing?) especially the older I get. You have very little time to learn these complex routines, and I wouldn't want Maksim screaming at me like he does the ... VIEW POST
Charming Charlie
So far, I have told you Gracie's story and LuLu's story. Well, we have one little white dog left: Charlie. After having Gracie and Lulu, I thought we were done -- as far as dogs go. My daughter and I (before Topher got involved also) volunteer at the humane society. One day when we were working, we passed a kennel with the tiniest, snow white, 5 month old, fluff ball inside, jumping insanely and barking unbelievably loud for a dog that size. ... VIEW POST
Kickboxing Queen (And the Wallpaper Lined Bookshelf)
I need to go to the gym. It's been months since I have been there, and my body is looking sad. I think I would enjoy a class but the last time I did, terrible, bad things happened. Once upon a time, I decided to take a kickboxing class. I had a Tae Bo video, and I frequently did that 20 minute video like a golden gloves champ, so how different could an organized class be? For starters ... this 60 minute class more than doubled my workout time. So, I walk into the class, and I notice ... VIEW POST
