Becoming a Big Kid

by MARIA on August 31, 2011

My four year old queen bee (almost five) just lost her first tooth recently. I have to admit that I was SHOCKED when I discovered she even had a loose tooth. She smiled one day and I noticed one of her bottom teeth looked crooked, so I touched it and sure enough, it was loose. [...]

Staples Giveaway! – CLOSED

by MARIA on August 30, 2011

When I was in school, one hundred years ago (yes, I’m THAT old), I LOVED back to school shopping, especially for school supplies. I looked forward to it for weeks – didn’t everyone?

So here’s the truth of the matter – I give up on myself very easily. I am a genius and a pro at talking myself out of things and convincing myself that I can’t do it. A perfect example – my weight. I start a “diet” (HATE that word) I succeed for a bit, get [...]

Praying Mantis

by MARIA on August 24, 2011

Seriously, my husband is a full fledged weirdo. A couple weeks ago, he rushed home early from work with a stick bug in a box. Today, he brought home a praying mantis. Evidently, he found this outside of his office again. I’m not sure how this happens – is he out there crawling around on [...]

Fresh Paint. Big Headache.

by MARIA on August 23, 2011

I have a big headache. I’ve had it for DAYS. I blame the husband. He wields the paint. At some point this summer, we came up with the brainiac idea to paint almost the entire house, and do some house renos. I’m not sure you know this but summers here are HOT and so damn [...]

Anderson Cooper Gets The Giggles – Video

by MARIA on August 19, 2011

I’ve always really liked Anderson Cooper, but after watching this clip of him getting the giggles, I love him even more. He’s reporting about Gerard Depardieu’s jackass move of urinating on the floor in the middle of an airplane, because he didn’t want to wait until the plane was in the air. Watch until the [...]
