I Think I Know Why

For a hundred years or more, people have been trying to figure out why the chicken crossed the road. I've heard, and read, a lot of good reasons, a lot of hilarious reasons, reasons that made sense and reasons that didn't. All I know for sure is that I go across the road nearly every day, at least... Sign in to see full entry.

Chasing Autumn Leaves

What a beautiful day for an outing. I just about wore myself out. There's no place I'd rather be in October than in Kansas City. Beauty is everywhere. Even when I take out the trash...I get a splash...of vibrant colors. When I drive to the store...get plenty more...golds and reds and rusts, every... Sign in to see full entry.

Some Days It Doesn't Pay To Get Out Of Bed

I hate being laughed at by my sons if I make a mistake and they are cracking up all over the place about, "Mom, you're a turd! HAHAHA." But, I had them going for a bit and so I had one on them too. They love talking about the weather forecasts and their barometers, the barometric pressure, and... Sign in to see full entry.

I Made A Dickey

I hate to waste perfectly good things (esp. clothing) that have never really been used (worn), just because there is some little thing that doesn't suit me about it. Usually my problem stems from the fact that I hate to try on clothing in the store, so I assume it will look good on me once I get it... Sign in to see full entry.

The Day The Roof Came Down

I need to go some place, but I'm not in the mood and the noise of the workers is driving me batty. I don't know how many are up there pounding with their hammers, but it sounds like a whole slew rat-a-tat-tat-ing, not counting the noise of the metal ladder as workers are continuously carrying up and...

Here I Come To Save The Day

Justi really played a trick on me. I believed what she said on Oct. 4 about the time change, and failed to check out the validity of it. So, yesterday I had Son #1 change all the clocks to be an hour earlier than they are supposed to be. He didn't check it out either and just changed them all (Fall... Sign in to see full entry.

Power To Repel

"Once it reaches three months, the cheese produces its notorious smell because the bacterium used to ferment Limburger cheese.....is Brevibacterium linens, the same one found on human skin that is partially responsible for body odor and particularly foot odor." ~wikipedia Son #1 loves Limburger...

What A Way To Make Money!

A one-ton pumpkin brought a Rhode Island man $5,500 for first place in the world record pumpkinfest and another $10,000 as a bonus for breaking the one-ton mark. But, the most lucrative part of the whole thing just might be in his plan to sell that prize-winning pumpkin's seeds for $300 apiece. Of... Sign in to see full entry.

My Mother's Influence

I just love the beautiful print cotton fabric dresses that Mma Ramotswe, #1 Lady Detective of Botswana ( Alexander McCall Smith books ) wears. I would like ten or twenty different ones for myself. I would even love wearing the head gear, but when one has fine, limp silver hair, it just doesn't give... Sign in to see full entry.
