I am currently (hopefully) recovering from a bout with viral gastroenteritis. I will spare the gory details but let’s just say the highlight of my day so far as been that I have been able to eat a handful of crackers without any major ill effects. While at my doctor appointment yesterday the nurse read in my chart that I… Read more »
I seem to have stumbled upon the secret for getting TONS of feedback (mostly via email and Facebook) on my blog. I had no idea how many people had such strong feelings about Homecoming antics! While I still disagree with most of you on this one I am very grateful and thankful for ALL of your comments and thoughts…. Read more »
I need someone to explain to me- in very small words- why vandalism in the name of tradition has become socially acceptable. This week is homecoming in several area towns and along with that is miles and miles of toilet paper strewn into every tree in sight. I have been told it’s harmless fun. No, it isn’t.

Yes, it’s the magical time of year when everything is possible and even the Detroit Lions are still in the playoff hunt! I love it! For the next 4 months on any given Sunday you can find me on my couch yelling… Read more »
I am half dead (or feel like it anyway) with a sinus cold but there are 2 things I just had to say: #1 Those are NOT my feet in my last entry. I pulled that picture off the internet!! #2 Why is it that the more TV channels I have the less there is on??
I don’t know any woman who is truly happy with how they look. Most of us have days when we feel like we look pretty good and days we think we look like something that people should be charged admission to see. And no we don’t know why. It’s just a woman thing! Today was not one of my good… Read more »
Last night my husband had a Chamber After Five event at his store. My sister came to town to do a little networking to promote her new graphic design/ web hosting business. It was a great night! First of all, I have to brag a little. I am proud as heck of my husband and my sister for making… Read more »
