Oh. It’s you. Hey. So, if you came here expecting to hear from Lisa today, you’re up a scratching post without your front claws, ’cause she’s not here. In honor of my 8th birthday, she’s allowing me the privilege of being a guest blogger on her site. Well, actually, that’s not true. The truth is,Read more about Guest blogger today: Mittens[…]
April Fool’s Day: the one day a year where usually-sane people seem to think it’s perfectly okay to make someone else look and/or feel foolish. I love to laugh, and appreciate all types of humor, but I never did understand the appeal of “practical jokes.” Shows like Punk’d and Candid Camera always seemed sad andRead more about My least favorite day of the year[…]
I’m sitting here, watching the latest episode of The Hills with my teenage daughter, and I can barely contain myself. Every guy on this show is a colossal jerk. There’s Brody, the serial-cheater, and Spencer, the lying manipulator. The way they treat the women in their lives is horrible. Aren’t there any nice guys outRead more about “Decent guys don’t cause drama”[…]
good lord, but I heard some truly horrible news today about an old friend. She was the wife of a colleague at a company where my dh worked several years ago. She was about my age, with a great sense of humor, and we became friends. We even got pregnant around the same time (myRead more about Gone, in 3 days[…]
On Thursday night, I had the pleasure of seeing a new Broadway show (debuting in April, currently in previews) that is destined to be a BIG hit. Cry Baby is the latest stage offering based on a John Waters film (the genius who brought us Hairspray), and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The songs were irreverantRead more about Broadway show review: Cry Baby[…]
Al Gore asked me to pass along the following message (yes, I like to delude myself into thinking that he sent this email ONLY to me, dammit) so here goes: Dear Friend, Climate change is an urgent issue that requires immediate solutions. That’s why I’ve joined with Al Gore and others across the country andRead more about A Message from Al Gore[…]
Jimmy Valvano With the recent news of actor Patrick Swayze’s brave battle against pancreatic cancer, I got to thinking about another celebrity who was faced with a similarly dire prognosis: Jim Valvano. His speech at the 1993 ESPN Awards was one that I will never forget. He showed courage and grace under tremendous pressure, andRead more about “Don’t Give Up. Don’t Ever Give Up.”[…]
As I’ve documented in previous posts, I’ve been searching for a cruelty-free cat food for my pets–one that doesn’t contain by-products or rendered animals or any of that other nasty stuff in traditional pet foods. I thought the Wellness brand was the one, but unfortunately, Mittens just didn’t tolerate it very well. The good news?Read more about A promising new cat food: Pet Promise[…]
I am privileged to belong to an online group of extraordinarily talented writers–I often ask myself, “What the heck did I do to get lucky enough to be in such company?” Today, one of these writers had her novel debut in bookstores across North America. I received my copy today from Amazon, and started reading.Read more about READ THIS BOOK: Dervishes by Beth Helms[…]
Tiger Sleeping Originally uploaded by RichYak I’ve been trying to get motivated all day, and just can’t seem to do it. I have work to edit, blogging to do, and tons of chores around the house, but the day’s nearly done and I haven’t accomplished much. This picture of Tiger pretty much sums it up.
