Blogger of the Week

A friend of mine told me to write a blog. Apparently she thinks I'm funny! But then she DARED me and said 'YOU'LL NEVER DO IT!" Never tell me NEVER!! I am an old wife with tales to tell about my Prince Charming, our 2 teenagers and the menagerie of pets, which have taken over our home.  I have survived the infant years and pray I survive the teens..I am a lover and more importantly, a fighter! When I started writing this blog, I was considered in remission; however, shortly thereafter (see here and here) we discovered that IT had returned. Not the greatest news, in fact it's a real friggin'  nuisance but, much like an irritating relative coming to visit, I intend to endure whatever necessary to get through it and then party like hell when it's gone. Blogging is my sedative...I believe laughter is the best medicine!! I’m on Twitter and FB too so please drop me a note. I'd love to hear from you! You can never have enough friends!

Keegan wanted to do a video too…

July 28, 2010

I think it’s so funny how Keegan says ‘cinnamon roll’ for some reason. I make him say it about 200 times a day and then I cackle like a deranged freak. So I thought I’d share that with you guys. And since Keegan saying “cinnamon roll” a couple of times is only like an 8 ..... See the video at Happy.Healthy.Homemade...

Universal Remote Part II (ManCode Post #9)

July 28, 2010

Please read "Universal Remote Part 1" here. The post where I ponder if men channel surf  because they can't relationship surf.

Come on. Keep up.

Do men keep the volume up so high as a way of exerting their masculinity? Or is the remote control simply another power tool? (Is that why they sell them at Ace Hardware?) Or, are they simply afraid that they might miss the latest e*trade baby commercial? Read the rest at Rachel in the OC...

The More You Have “To Lose” The More You Fear

July 28, 2010

Once upon a time I used to be fearless. (Or almost fearless.) I knew that nothing could happen to me. Sometimes, when I hear my teenagers speaking I have flashbacks to those times. Times when I was invulnerable. Times like the ones when I would ride the subways of Manhattan at midnight without giving it a second thought except for the no nonsense posture and the mean face I assumed. (Yes Mom and Dad, I was on subways at all hours of the night but you probably knew that.) Read the rest at New Day New Lesson...
