Published on Tuesday, May 4, 2010 by Katherine Jen at Redhead Ranting wrote a list of the top five things you should never give on Mother’s Day. Excellent list and I agree, a Dyson would be a dream come true. But I’m not sure I deserve it. With Mother’s Day around the corner, I have been looking back at the years gone by and have wondered how it all happened so fast. Motherhood has been a roller coaste...

Published on Friday, March 12, 2010 by Katherine My favorite blog pal Jen gave us excellent advice on how NOT to leave a comment. If only I had absorbed her great words of wisdom. For today, I went one step further. I tweeted about my breasts. By accident. You may remember my earlier post about a great urge I had to blog about a handsome young black man doctor and a particular part of my anatomy. Now, the an...

Published on Thursday, March 11, 2010 by Katherine My house is falling apart around me.  I need to pull everything out to scrub, build and paint.  But home improvements mean money.  And time.  Both of which I simply do not have. But today, I have a great need to tell you about my toilets.  I have two in the house, and neither work correctly.  The children’s toilet?  Constantly dripping when the water is tu...

Published on Tuesday, March 2, 2010 by Katherine All I can say is WOW.  A mother distributes drugs while delivering her daughter’s Girl Scout cookies?  They need to put this woman in jail. I mean, of all things sacred – it is the GIRL SCOUTS for heaven’s sake.  And Girl Scout cookies are iconic.  This is worse than the Girl Scout Cookie Flipping Incident.  Cookies and Drugs?  Incarcerate this mom and ...

Published on Monday, February 22, 2010 by Katherine Self talk. We all do it.  Think about it – no pun intended.  Our minds are constantly chattering.  Picture yourself driving alone or trying to fall asleep.  Your brain is always noting things, thinking about things, questioning things – you are constantly talking to yourself. Wait.  I am assuming an awful lot.  Maybe it’s just me.  Probably.  Yup, mos...

Published on Tuesday, November 3, 2009 by Katherine Three months ago I noticed I only had two more slips in my car payment book.  Had it been that long?  1, 2, 3, 4, 5.  Yes!  FIVE YEARS!  My car was just about paid off, and not a moment too soon. Last week was the final payment.  This meant I would have $370 more a month in my pocket.  What a godsend.  No more worry about how to pay for groceries every othe...

Published on Sunday, November 1, 2009 by Katherine When is the PR update?  Has the PR update started?  Why is the PR update late?  Yup, that was the internet buzz for so long this month.  And now… drum roll please…. Brrrrrrr….. the October 2009 PR update is HERE! Quick!  Run to the laptop!  Check my sites!!!  Up?  Down?  Let’s see…. Same, up one, down one, same, same… and for my blog?  ZERO. ...

Published on Friday, September 11, 2009 by Katherine Anyone in the mood for coffee?  I know you can smell it.  Here, let me give you my shoe to suck on.  My hair clip tastes pretty good too.  And my underwear?  Yea, well, if you dare.  And if you want, you can go suck on my mattress at home.  Perhaps lick the floor?  Try the lamp, it's delicious.  Dark Mountain Roast, to be exact. Let me tell you all about t...

Published on Tuesday, September 1, 2009 by Katherine My kitchen is dangerous.  That's what my mom says.  You open the cabinet and things fall out on you.  You open the drawers and knives shoot out at you.  Indiana Jones would have a hard time getting from the door to the table in my kitchen. If I lived by myself, my cabinets and drawers would be neat.  Everything would be in order.  But I would rather have a ho...

Published on Friday, August 28, 2009 by Katherine Have you ever wanted anything so bad you couldn't stand it?  As a child, did you have that ONE SPECIAL TOY that you wanted more than ANYTHING ELSE IN THE  WHOLE WORLD?  For me, it was the Barbie Friendship Airplane.  I can see it now, pictured in the Sears Catalog.  Two cabins, a fold out cockpit and tail, working drink cart and galley.  It was the stuff of Barb...

Published on Friday, August 21, 2009 by Katherine Only me.  Today was a good one. Lunch was a good workout at Curves, then a quick drive to my regular 7-11 for a steaming cup of hot Dark Mountain Roast.  Yes, nothing says, "workout cool-down" like hot coffee, don't you agree? Included in my purchase was a bottle of Vitamin Water.  Energy, at that.  As I walked toward the coffee area, bottle of Vitamin Water...

Published on Friday, May 22, 2009 by Katherine I just posted a review of 7-11 Iced Coffee on Agoosa - check it out! Here is my "doh!" of the week.  You just never know what the future will bring, do you?  I found that out yesterday.  Long story short, I needed to add a line to my cell phone plan for one of the kids, and my phone was due for upgrading.  I had been putting a bit of money aside for two mont...
