Margarita Brain Damage
Tequila makes me stupid. I definitively proved that as a young adult, but since I have a margarita so seldom, I forget about tequila’s odd effect on my mind.
At Friday’s Cinco De Mayo (or to be precise, Dos De Mayo) party I had two Margaritas, enough to ensure an ENTIRE EVENING OF HEARTBURN and “Catchphrase” foolishness. […]

Somebody send the ark…
…Chicagoland is drowning. Days of heavy rain after months of heavy snows, and all the rivers are overflowing.
I knew it was serious when our house started making a funny noise. I thought it was the neighbors; the Big Guy thought it was our teen sneaking out through the garage in the middle of the night. […]

Please make me leave my house
I have been struggling with a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad week. Y’all don’t want to hear me whine but believe me, seeing my daughter’s spleen was probably the highlight. I just want to crawl back into my fluffy, cocoon-like bed and eat my giant sugar-filled chocolate chip cookie. Or half a cookie.
HEY, WHO ATE […]

Only Eight Things?
Mary over at Motherwise Cracks has tagged me for a meme on eight little or unknown things about me. Only eight? Geez, which things should I share?
1. I played the clarinet in Junior High/High School band for six years without fully learning how to read music. I think I missed something early on in band […]
