My dear husband owns (and drives) an old car – 1983 Toyota Corolla, which he loves dearly. This is not a pristine vehicle. It has been well-used and well-loved for 30+ years. However, the engine runs just fine. So, we live in California, so it is time to smog the vehicle. When he takes his…
From time to time, I add chia seeds to my food. Yes, the seeds from those clay novelty items sometimes referred to as “Chia Pets”. No, I don’t buy the novelty items. I buy the seeds. You can get them from many sources. I get mine from Puritan’s Pride and I only get their brand.…
Get your mind out of the gutter. (If it wasn’t there, I’ll give you a moment to realize why I think your mind is in the gutter, and then for you to climb back out of it. And if your mind still doesn’t go to the gutter, are you sure you’re old enough to be…
My head has turned into a snot machine; and I don’t even have bad allergies – just the mildly unpleasant kind. I keeping seeing FB posts about people being laid out with allergies and I should be (and I suppose I am) grateful that mine aren’t like that; but still, how much snot can one…
So today is my dear husband’s birthday. He said something about it yesterday, which reminded me, and always being the first to point out my own d’oh – I admitted I had totally forgotten and what would he like for his birthday that could be arranged/obtained in less than 24 hours. Mind you, I did…

We recently watched the remake of Freaky Friday with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Curtis. I have heard Lindsay Lohan’s performance in Freaky Friday referenced as…
Yesterday, I had the pure joy of having a long chat with someone who touched my life briefly when I was in elementary school. When I was in 4th grade, my mom and step-father bought a house across town which meant a new school for me (and my sister, but that’s her story). So there…
Yesterday, it’s getting close to quitting time when one of the lawyers sends me a dictation – a RUSH. Got to have it NOW. Lawyer’s are like that. So I load up the dictation, connect the USB foot pedal, and grab my pink SkullCandy earbuds. I am ready to rock this thing. Except – OW…
Yesterday, I was supposed to meet this guy who is working on a CD and Showcase to put in some background vocals. I was supposed to be there at 8 p.m. At 8:20 he called to ask where the fuck I was. I was sitting at home in front of my computer without a clue.…
No this is not a fun topic. In San Jose, we have already had one baby killed by its father leaving him in the car all day because Dad forgot to drop the kid off at the babysitters and just went to work, leaving the kid in the backseat all day. (An unanswered question is,…
