Well, somehow I managed to find enough material for 100 blog posts. This marks number 100. I know, I can’t believe it either. Today’s post is loosely based on the 1000 Awesome Things website and books. There may be things on my list that are also on that one, but I don’t know because I…
This was the beach we visited. Last week, I published a post about my family’s trip to Disney World. That was Part 1 of our vacation. Part 2 included lots of beach time. We live in a landlocked state, so this was special. In fact, it was my five-year-old’s first time to even see a…
If you spend more than 10 minutes among the general public, you know that there are more than enough obnoxious behaviors to go around. I don’t know if I’m just cranky or things are really getting worse, but I’ve been noticing them more lately. Consider this post a crude response to a pretend Dear Abby…
Way back in July, I published 7 Things People Need To Stop Doing On Facebook. It’s one of my most viewed – and commented on via Facebook – posts to date. Well, several months have passed, and with those months some more annoying Facebook trends have developed. I’m sure you’ve noticed. If you haven’t, then…

Incidentally, the only severe injury I ever personally saw was caused by a dumpster lid. But I digress.…
Tomorrow is Father’s Day, meaning it’s time to think about Dad. I think my dad is truly special, because there are some things about him that are just, well, him. These are the top 10 things I love about my dad. 1. You know the sound Goofy makes when he falls down a big hill?…
I recognize that sinking feeling when I open the fridge or the pantry. I can’t put it off any longer. I’ll have to make a trip to the grocery store. This is not my favorite thing to do. I think part of it may be because I often have to bring my kids with me,…
In the introduction post to this blog, I explained that my posts would be funny and silly because life is serious enough already. However, today warrants a more serious tone. Today is Memorial Day. It’s a time to remember those who have fallen while fighting for our freedom and for the freedom of those in…
My coworker gave me a small carrot cake. This carrot cake, in fact. Don’t worry, that small piece is missing for a reason. I have a love/hate relationship with baked goods. I love how they taste, but not so much how they make my clothes shrink. So I’ve devised a 7-step procedure to enjoy baked…
It’s Mother’s Day, meaning I’m naturally thinking about my mom. Some would call her anal (including myself), others would say she’s compassionate (including myself), among other characteristics. Following are some traits of hers that I think help to make her who she is. Some of these might seem strange, but really, if we weren’t all…
