Klaxons - It’s Not Over Yet - Official Music Video
I’ve been back and forth with this band, like some of their stuff, not all. But I’m really liking this video. And the song is growing on me. I do know one thing, these guys are way easy on the eyes [...]

Wishing everyone a safe, dry (maybe even sunny) and happy holiday.
Not to appear unpatriotic (because I am… 
but I felt it necessary to include this little snippet, courtesy of Urban Dictionary’s Word of the Day:
July 04: fourth of july
The day people light things on fire, and blame it on loving their country.
police officer: [...]

It seems that everyone I know in Blog Land has jumped on the Twitter Train (phrase stolen from Piglet) and it’s rollin’ down the track and I’m left standing at the station with my Louis Vuitton bag (yeah right) and a Timmy Ho’s Double-Double and a half-eaten bagle. Do I want to buy a [...]

Taking full advantage of a beautiful morning, waking up on the back porch with coffee and web-surfing capabilities. I’ve visited with 3 people online, two neighbors and one husband so far and didn’t have to even stand up. Called and scheduled two medical appointments and am going to call me mum here in [...]

I was feeling crazy and this looked like fun. I give it a C-minus for accuracy… What do you think? I’m thinking that maybe this was me at one time, but sounds like too much work now!

I have to have one of the coolest grandkids in existence. He’s always loved music and we’ve been dancing since before he could walk. He and JuJu lived with us from his birth until Ju “left us” for Mr. JuJu. Ours was and is a musical household. [...]

After searching a few assorted sites under the heading of “On This Day…” I’ve only come up with a couple of things that happened on this day in 1961, particularly. Those two things are as follows:
~ Tad Szulc (d.2001) wrote a front page NY times article on anti-Castro forces training to fight at [...]

I came here to write an absolutely amazing post. Maybe my best ever. But my laptop screen is doing this crazy, freakish jumping thing. Like my scrollbar developed some kind of seizure disorder or something. At first, it would stop when I touched the touch pad. Then after a little while that stopped working. Hmmm. [...]

I’m not exactly sure what’s gotten into me today, but I’m on a rampage. An actual rampage.
I did my normal Saturday Morning thing, where I pour the coffee and sit down to plan my strategy for the day. As always, there is a pile of need-to-sort mail and assorted stuff I hate to deal [...]

Quite awhile ago, I wrote a post about compliments. If I could find/remember (ha!) my log-in for my old blog, I could hook you up with a link. I remember I got a ton of comments that day and we all enjoyed that huggy, smiley, glad-I-came-here kind of feeling. I’m going to aim that high [...]

It’s setting in. I feel it. No more Christmas cards in the mail. Just bills. No more yummy homemade cookies in the cupboard. Just Oreos. No good excuses to pour a drink. Except maybe ennui. No more pretty packages to open. Just trying to find a [...]

I have a “system” if you will, for sending Christmas cards. I have a special Holiday address book filled with the names and addresses of those I mail cards to every year. I buy several boxes of cards ranging from those with religious themes to the humorous kind. I name each card, ie. “manger,” “snowman,” [...]

I had lots of things, nice things to talk about but since I need a little venting, I’m going to get that out of the way. I can’t concentrate on “nice” things until I do. If you’re not in the mood for whining and complaining, simply move on. Or stay here and [...]

Falling asleep and missing Amy Winehouse on SNL. Was curious to see what all the fuss is about…
Leaving the house two minutes late and getting behind that stinky school bus. (You know the one… he sits at the intersection and pulls out in front of me on purpose every chance he gets.)
Stepping in [...]

You just almost bit your tongue.
The train crossing turnstile is on it’s way down but you still have time to make it through.
The coffee you just spilled missed your new suede shoe by a centimeter.
Someone you thought forgot about you, remembers.
You’re late for work, following a truck going 10 miles under the speed limit. [...]

Thought I would pop in here for a bit so’s y’all don’t think I croaked or somethin’. I have lots to say but not enough time.
PD and I are all caught up in redoing our kitchen. We’d started awhile back when he first started feeling not-too-bad and tore out the suspended ceiling. Since [...]

I got the second parking ticket of my entire life last week. The pissy part of it was that I actually had put money in the meter. It ran out. I guess a dime doesn’t get what it used to. We so rarely park anywhere these days where there are actually parking meters. One day [...]

I spent some time today thinking about our homes and wanted to ask a pertinent question that would invite some “audience participation.” I thought of asking y’all what your favorite room is in your house and why. I guess that’s as good a question as any.
But before I answer it myself, I want to apologize [...]

Ok, so I did it. It kind of feels like if you dye your hair and you’re not sure if you like it or not. I think I do. Just not as much as my old one. But at some point I plan to change the picture and that will be [...]

(Pretend that numeral is not there to the left. I can’t make it go away) Just to show you how adept I am at multi-tasking, let me list for you all the things I am presently- meaning At This Very Moment- doing. Here we go. I am:

Today PD has me painting the garage. TC has me running virus protection things. JuJu has me waiting for a return phone call. I have me in my painting shorts from last year that are too tight and straining at the seams and a bathing suit top and I’m still sweating. [...]

I always tend to get pissy when I think of you all sitting in your office/cubicle/whatever this time of day while I’m slaving away at work without a computer to surf on for hours at a time instead of actually doing work. But today I got one over on you. Not only am I sitting on [...]
