Things You’d Rather Not Think About

The guy bagging my groceries this morning was quite a talkative chap.  When he loaded my ham hocks into the grocery bag, he proclaimed loudly, "Are these pigs’ noses?" Mmm’kay.  I don’t THINK so, but I really don’t want to think about what part of the pig they might be.

Fight the Frump!

Today I’m fighting the frump again with Fussy.  One way I fight the frump is watching my pant lengths.  When I started fitting into my pre-pregnancy clothes after having my youngest daughter, I noticed that all of my pants seemed really short.  They were the same length they’d always been, and I was wearing them [...]

American Idol Recap — Top 20 Results Show

Tonight was an emotional night in Idol Land. First we said good-bye to Jason Yeager. No big surprise there.  Moving right along. Next we said good-bye to Alexandrea Lushington.

The Easter Dress Hunt

It’s sort of like the Easter Egg Hunt, except you get to shop instead of wandering through the tall grass, foraging for a morsel of chocolate. After school this morning, I asked my daughter if she’d like to go to the mall to pick out an Easter dress.  Being my daughter, of course she said [...]

This week the Idol contestants are singing ’70s music, and they will share something we may not already know about them. Michael Johns starts off the show tonight. After informing us that he’s "a bit of a jock" he takes the stage singing You Can Go Your Own Way. I think it’s a good song [...]

Ask The Readers

I’m looking for some honest feedback from those who matter most here on the blawg – that’s YOU! What are your thoughts about bloggers announcing when they have posts up on other sites?  Hypothetically speaking, of course.  No, seriously.  Does it get tiresome to see "check out my latest post at blog du jour" tacked [...]

**UPDATED**  Oh the cuteness! Jennifer says: I’m looking for some cute and affordable ballerina flats.  Any suggestions?? I say: Ballet flats, my newest obsession.  Last year at this time I had one pair of ballet flats in my wardrobe.  Somehow in the last year, I have managed to accumulate five more pairs.
