My sister called home a little bit ago to talk to my parents, who were out.  We were talking about one of our favorite TV shows from our childhood when I cut her off mid-sentence. “James Franco just said ‘That’s rufalicious.’” “James Franco said what?” “I’m watching ‘Never Been Kissed’ and James Franco has a small part [...]

You are a delicious beverage.  Truly, you are.  I look forward to you every year.  Not as much as Pumpkin Spice Lattes, but whatever.  Still good.  Why is it, dear Peppermint Mocha, that you feel the need to splatter on me?  Not just on me, but on my rather-freshly-washed-hoodie that still smells like the clean laundry?  [...]

Even after watching the video below, which answered a lot my questions about it, I’m still not sold on the Amazon Kindle. Sure, it’d be cool to get all the books I want, plus the magazines, newspapers, and blogs I read on a regular basis available anytime, anywhere. Actually, it would be really, really awesome. [...]

I was going home from dropping my sister off at school and visiting a friend when the traffic on the Vet’s Bridge looked like this:    What the hell, right?  I figured there was an accident, but I didn’t see any flashing lights or flares.  Then since the traffic was heading to the 6th & 7th Avenue exit and Mellon [...]

Earlier this week, I received a notice that I owed $10.00 for a subscription to Taste of Home magazine.  Sure, I like to (occasionally) cook (as long as it involves a microwave) now and then, but believe me, I did not order this magazine.  Not quite my style.  I called and had it cancelled, but the [...]

As a kid, I would get excited to see eighteen-wheel trucks.  I knew that with a couple pumps of a clenched fist, I would get the driver to pull the cord and the truck would belch in return: burrrrrp burrrrrp.  It was especially more fun if there were other kids with me, my siblings or cousins [...]

Location: Kitchen, in front of sink, beside dishwasher Scene: Clear glass serving bowls and pans drying in the dish-rack, on the counter above the dirty ones in the dishwasher.   Instead of drying the the dish on top, I reach for the bowl underneath first.  I have no real explanation for this, other than I just do [...]

This was one of those weekends where I was at home maaaaybe two hours on Saturday afternoon.  After dinner with Jennie and her mom on Friday, I needed new clothes and shoes, stat.  I bought my first pair of pointy-toed shoes ever.  I’m practically a grown up now. Then we (read: Jennie) picked up a [...]

Whenever I see commercials for Endless Pools, I think of this:  [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea1hEL3Ibrw] I know I can’t be the only one. I was disappointed with this week’s episode of the The Office.  Next week is the last new episode for a while… it has to be good.

Ever the procrastinator, I crammed a couple weeks worth of cleaning into one long, hot morning.  Pulled tacks from the walls and tape from the ceiling.  Vacuumed the floor, wiped the sink, dusted the furniture.  Separated the twin beds where I joined them to make one.  Opened the drawers, quickly but carefully, eyes scanning to be [...]
