Does Smell Make it or Break It For You??

Am I the only one who is highly responsive to smell??
Let’s say there is a really cute guy but then he walks by and smells atrocious - how do you feel? Do you still think he’s hot or is it totally over for you? Like bad cologne or aftershave… that kind […]

I am Geek-Mommy - hear me type!!

Sometimes a compliment comes in the funniest form.
I was talking with a good friend today and he told me about kijiji.com. I had never heard of it and he said, with surprise, “A geek like YOU?! I can’t believe you haven’t heard of it.” Funny. I know he was being silly […]

Thanks for the drug treatment advice.

A while ago I posted about a family members’ alcoholism. Since then, I’ve received a few emails from y’all - thanks for that
Some tell me to not feel so bad about keeping our feelings to ourselves and just plug away since he has already acknowledged his addiction. Others are encouraging us […]

A Whopper a Day…

…Keeps the Boys at Bay
Okay, it’s not that bad I promise LOL! It’s not like I eat a cheeseburger every day - seriously!! Today though I did
It was delish too. I enjoyed every second of it.. except for the beginning where Dear Hubby came home and caught me […]

Shopping for clothes with the kids.

You’d think it’d get easier but so far it hasn’t. I don’t know if Jenn was just tired or whether aliens swapped her with an annoying child for today but shopping was not fun today
She and Matt both wanted to be home and simply did NOT care which pants/shirt/shoes I wanted to […]

Big Brother 8 - Stop it Dick!

When I first started watching I had my opinions of those in the house. Dick was funny, Danielle was soooo dippy, and Jen was irritating and HAD to go and the rest…. well, they didn’t really stick in my mind.
Fast forward a few weeks and my opinions have changed. Dick is […]

The Mixed Joy of Credit Cards

A very good friend of mine told me the other day about a mutual friend’s credit cards debt. There i was whining about my credit card balance when she said “that’s nothing, so-and-so has $38,000 on her cards!”
I was totally shocked! My balance is tiny compared to that. What amazes me is […]

Happy Mommy Thought…

Dear Hubby decided last night to take the kids for a slice of pizza and a movie (one each to rent). They came home with pizza (check) and two Game Cube game rentals (ohhhhh nooooo). I was all excited because the kids were so excited - but then the kids said “no Mom, […]

How Accurate Is Your Gut??

Follow me? I mean when you get a “gut feeling” do you follow it? I tend to have trouble ignoring it actually . And I’m not just talking about my belly when it NEEDS a cheeseburger (which, incidentally, it’s telling me now) LOL!!
No, I mean when I meet a new […]

What would you do if she drank a 26er a day??

I think it’s fair to say that each of us will face numerous tests in our lifetime. For some they are pure frustration like bumps on life’s road and for others we wonder if it’s God looking down and waiting to see if our choice will be the one he/she wants.
I’ve faced […]
