I have a low tolerance for stupid questions and nosy people.  I have no idea how I made it through dozens of college classes and neighborhood association meetings all brimming with nosy hand raising dumb question askers.
 As you can see this intolerance is not flattering on me.  It turns me into a mean sarcastic woman. […]

So Techie is out of town and I’m under duress.  For normal people a night and two full days away from their spouse is no biggie, and for some even a welcome break.  But I’m not normal.  I HATE when Techie is gone especially overnight.   I’m a nervous ninny by nature and my dear husband’s very […]

I’m afraid perfectionism has gotten the better of me so I won’t be posting pictures of Chibby’s new big boy camping/cabin/bear themed room yet.  I’m still waiting on a couple posters I won on ebay to arrive. I want everything to be just perfect so the cuteness will have to wait.  Until the UPS guy gets here […]

When you were a kid the worst thing that could happen to you at school was to be the last kid picked for the team.  Grace being my middle name and al,l I was always picked dead last.  In fact i was often the odd man out….given a “special job” by the PE teacher.  In other words you […]

Despite a years’ worth of payments for insurance they would not fix […]

I’ve just found out that we have mice in the wall between the living room and the front porch and have completely lost all ability to reason, concentrate, and hold my bladder.  Just the thought of the little suckers in my house scurrying around with their little claws and whiskers makes me want to shower […]

I stumbled across an innocent little blog post this morning about a stay-at-home mom bumper sticker on a minivan.  It was a nice little post from a working hubby who was showing some respect for the work that stay-at-home moms (& dads too) do.  The post it self was short and sweet, but the commentary […]

I have a porch full of CRAP. It’s been here a week and I already like it less than my in-laws.  It’s making me angry and giving me a blinding headache.  I can’t sleep and I can’t concentrate because no matter where I am in the house I can see the peaks of the mountains […]

I did a bad bad thing. No blogging for two whole weeks??? To make it up to you I’m kicking off a month of my “Dirty Tricks to Keep your Home Clean*” Before I kick off my New Year series on organizing, cleaning, and staying sane, I thought I’d share a photastic entry with you. […]
