I used to be the Bisquick Queen, lo these many years ago; and then I got away from it.  However, I came across a recipe for Impossible Chicken and Broccoli Pie. Okay then. Time to dust off my Bisquick crown. The theory of Bisquick impossible pies is that you put all your fillings in your…

As you may know, my plan for dealing with winter in Michigan was to stay inside and bake cookies. Well, it’s winter in Michigan.  We’ve had quite a bit of snow (nothing like Buffalo, mind you, but for this California girl, it is still a little alarming). So I should at least be up to…

No. Not cocaine.  No. Not a gang of Caucasians.  No. Not even bird poop. SNOW, ya’ll, I’m talking about SNOW! We woke up Sunday morning, not to a wintery wonderland, exactly; but there was definitely snow – on the ground, on the rooves of houses, on tree branches, and on my car! Wow!  When we…

(FYI WAHFR means “What a huge fucking reief”) Okay.  Biopsy results are in.  Can we have the envelope please? (Drum roll) Negative for malignancy! Yes, both biopsies.  My Doctor’s office called with the results – and that is what they said, “Negative for malignancy.”  I asked, “Both of them?”  And they said, “What do you…

Cont.  So, I’m still behind a day.  Be grateful I’m posting at all.  I am dealing with a very sore boobie.  So when I got home, I read the discharge papers and realized I had cellulitis.  The antibiotics made sense now.  I also need two biopsies on my boob; and although I was told that…

It was such a weekend – it’s taken me an extra day to process. And the star of this weekend – my left boob! Yup, the one where I had breast cancer 1 ½ years ago. Saturday morning, I wake up and my left boob is a spectacular shade of red, hot, and tender to…

Sorry this is late – but I really had no idea what to write about last night and then it hit me this morning, in the shower (don’t we always get our best ideas when we’re wet and nude? Good luck, getting that image out of your head). Anyhow. I had an appointment with my…

This was a recommend from my cousin-in-law Nelson by way of his wife, Alice. Nelson and my dear husband have a lot in common; and it turns out they have the same discerning taste in TV shows. One thing that really caught my attention is, while there is some fat shaming, the fat guy, for…

When we lived in San Jose, we had an HOA who took care of everything outside our walls.  They hired the landscapers, they fixed your roof, they cleaned your gutters, they did it all.  They even took care of any plumbing issues occurring inside the walls! Of course, in trade, you gave up certain autonomy. …

I got 2 chairs for my she-cave. The chairs were immediately claimed by our 2 cats. The chairs are comfy, but they are not snuggly. Cats need snuggly places to sleep. I got 2 snuggly throws for the chairs. Now, the cats have snuggly chairs to sleep in – which they do. And I get…
