  • Not Before Work

    As a result of a car accident several years ago, Don has issues with his back.  While away for work, he and I got in a conversation about mattresses and due to the fact that his back had been a bit worse lately he asked if I would go and scope out a few just…

  • I Almost Expired!

    There are times I think expiration dates on food items are completely ridiculous.  Don and I most likely have several salad dressings, mustards and steak sauces in the refrigerator that have all expired and we continue to use them.  We’re still fine and neither of us has been sick with any vomiting issues so I…

  • “The Chocolate Incident”

    There’s nothing more frustrating than thinking you have all the ingredients for something you plan to make only to discover, after a thorough investigation, that one of the key ingredients is missing!  What you are about to read transpired out of my desire to create a 9 x 13 inch pan of the moistest,  fudgiest…

  • A Non Stick Cooking Wand

    Multitasking is something a lot of us do.  It seems that we feel the need to convince our hands and our brains that it is, in fact, possible to do more than one thing at a time.  I’ve been guilty of surfing the internet while making an attempt at an intelligent conversation on the phone.…

  • A Very Dusty Night At The Barber Shop

    I pity the souls that find everyday life boring.  There are so many people that waste away their existence waiting for “their ship to come in” or leave Barbie dolls in boxes so they’ll be worth more in maybe 300 years or save the good dishes for the company that shows up once every 365…

  • The Cherry Bandits

    Cherries are one of my favorite fruits and cherry is always the flavor I will choose when it comes to hard candy, taffy, ice cream topping or tootsie pops!  I love, love, love cherries!  I love them so much that I will stop at almost nothing to get some…..almost. Every week my friend and I…

  • A Solution With A Glitch

    For those of you that have an ample amount of flesh between your thighs, the following information will be incredibly easy to identify with. When my new job began at the first fabric store I worked for, I was told I could wear pants during the week but dresses were mandatory on weekends.  I wasn’t…

  • Perspectives Can Differ Greatly

    There are always two sides to everything.  A front and a back.  A positive and a negative.  An up and a down.  A day and a night and a man that can’t sleep and a woman that can.  Each side has value and a completely different perspective, more often than not.  With that being said,…

  • Tape, Paper Clips or Staples?

    Wardrobe malfunctions are never fun.  I’ve had several and all of them qualify for my “Most Embarrassing Moments” list.  One that made my “Top Ten” list happened while I was working at the post office.  There were three male mail carriers that sorted mail in the morning and then returned once they were finished with…

  • New Homes Aren’t Always Permanent

    The other night Don and I were playing cards and listening to music and it was such a nice night.  I’m not sure there is anything more relaxing than spending time with the one you love doing something you both enjoy.  We play “Hand and Foot” and although we always say the victories belong to…
