One of my Greatest Talents.

Posted on May 16, 2013 by

I did most of my growing up in the 70′s.  Sitting really close to the console t.v., gulping Hi-C (a kids health drink for sure) and not fighting over the remote. Childhood was easy. I transitioned from Sesame Street to Zoom … Continue reading →

I Wouldn’t Eat Cereal out of that Bowl.

Posted on April 20, 2013 by

My dog poops a lot. Dr. OZ would say she’s very healthy. Our backyard (and front yard and side yard) are full of evidence. When I walk my dog, I always pick up the evidence. But in my backyard? I … Continue reading →

Pee Outside if you Really Really Have to.

Posted on February 22, 2013 by

When my daughters were growing up, the rule was:  “If you go out, stay out!” I had my own selfish reasons for not wanting to get them all bundled up only to hear them trying to break through the locked front … Continue reading →

Eat a Sandwich. And Some Chips.

Posted on December 30, 2012 by

Multitasking while on Christmas vacation: Flipping through a slide show of celebrity beach bodies on Twitter as I finish off a bag of Lay’s Salt & Vinegar chips, (while still in my pajamas), thinking… “Sure!  I could pull that off, just … Continue reading →

My husband prays hard.

Posted on October 2, 2012 by

My husband comes from a family of 8 kids.  More specifically, and most important to him: he is the oldest. His underlings tell stories of how he taunted them with his self-imposed authority.     Jim Pfiffer was a mean and bossy older … Continue reading →
