My daughter got mad at me the other day for doing this in public: She was just absolutely mortified. Completely ran away in the other direction pretending not to know me at the mall. Jeez, I was just having a little fun. Aren’t parents allowed to do that anymore or do we have to be [...]
More...Too Many Piles…BBQ Brisket (to die for)
I don’t know about you but I have an inordinate amount of piles in my house. Piles that get shifted to various locations depending on the goings on of the household. Typically mail piles are pretty much everywhere unless people are coming over. Then they get shoved into drawers. Which is really bad because bills [...]
More...Let’s Make Some Noise…Sizzling Summer Fajitas
I’ve been decoding my letters from my daughter, Talia to gauge how much fun she’s really having at sleep away camp. The first letter came to her sister, Ryan. It was abundantly loving, leading me to believe she wasn’t having any fun at all. “I miss you soooooooooooooo much and I can’t wait to see [...]

Happy BBQing. *Note* this does [...]
More...Discriminating Taste
I’m being discriminated against and I don’t like it. Not one bit. And it’s not because of my skin color or my religion or my gender. It’s because of my dog. My sweet (not so little) rescue Hound/Lab/Boxer/1/18 Pitt mix that the friendly neighbors from my alleged friendly neighborhood seem to read as 100 [...]
More...Double Standards
How’s it that when the dad goes out of town, it’s business as usual but when the mom goes out of town, anyone who’s ever been, wanted to be or even said the word “mother” comes out of the woodwork to help take care of the poor soul? Recently I went away for the weekend. [...]
More...Why Of Course I Love Spending New Year’s Eve at Home! Why Do You Ask?
Twenty years ago I watched ‘When Harry Met Sally’ and swore I’d go to one of those cool New Year’s Eve parties like Meg Ryan all dressed up in a funky loft. I’m still waiting. In the meantime, New Year’s Eve has typically become a night where we watch an old movie and cook something [...]
