At Least It Made Me Feel Better

I hate Tax Day. I hate writing that check. So in some juvenile way, mailing that check with this stamp made me feel better. Now if they'll just made a stamp with Whoopee Cushion Sound Effects for the 2011 tax day mailing - I'd be one happy woman.

The End of the Road

Last night was the end of the long road to the final game of college basketball in my beloved March Madness.* And it kept me on the edge of my seat (okay, I'm lying, I was jumping up and down screaming at the television for all of it). But my adopted Butler Bulldogs lost to… Continue reading The End of the Road

What You See Is Not Always What You Get

After The Husband inadvertently sucked a sock into the vacuum cleaner* and promptly killed the motor, I had to go to Costco to buy a new one. This purchase in no way was based on my cleaning expertise. Trust me, I'm the last person you'd want cleaning advice from.** Nor was this purchase based on my… Continue reading What You See Is Not Always What You Get

An Airline Finally Gets It Right

Airlines are often maligned, and in most cases rightly so. Particularly when they charge you $25 to transport your bag (and then promptly lose it) not to mention extorting $9 from a starving, captive in-flight audience for a turkey sandwich. But today let us applaud one airline with a terrific idea that won't cost a… Continue reading An Airline Finally Gets It Right

Frights of Fashion

I thought I had more sense than to do something so foolish. But after dropping off the kids at school, I decided to dash into Wal-Mart for a gallon of milk and dog food. Except I realized that not only was I braless, I was wearing this:   This is not a good look. In… Continue reading Frights of Fashion

Thanks For Clearing That Up

On my last few trips, I've noticed that the signage posted for the general public suggests we need more than a little guidance in dealing with our personal affairs. That or we've become much more stupid than I ever imagined. My money's on stupid. So it was no real surprise to find this sign over… Continue reading Thanks For Clearing That Up

Getting In Line

Yes, I've been offline for the week. But rest assured I have been IN line. Because I have been to Disney World. Apparently, the entire nation was on spring break this week. And everyone took a secret vote to meet in Orlando. The funny thing was, even with the throngs of humanity descending on the… Continue reading Getting In Line
