This in that

The vacuum cleaner still smelled burning after it cooled off so I took it to Stuart yesterday. The best thing about Stuart is the smokehouse! It’s not far from the Oreck store so we always detour. They were out of jerky so we got smoked salmon and made pasta for dinner with the salmon, olives, [...]

Do you know what they do in France?

I was watching Sabrina with the girls and it got to the part when Audrey Hepburn  comes back from France all chic and worldly.

Amanda asked if she learned to french kiss in France. Uh, hullo! I just looked at her, trying not to burst out laughing so she continued. “Do you know what they DO??? [...]

I want her memory!

I walked into Starbucks this morning,  the girl took my cup and said “mocha, decaf, nonfat, no whip, two pumps?” Day-um!! This isn’t even the Starbucks I usually go to and she got it perfect.  She was asking about the pictures on my cup the last time I was in so I’m not surprised she [...]

Panty Liners

I just want to know… why do they need two million kinds of panty liners? Why is it so hard to find regular? I’ve accidentally bought scented (who wants to leave a flower trail when she walks?!), extra long (could have cut it in half and used it over two days), extra wide, thong, funky [...]

Oink

I have never weighed this much before and I H.A.T.E. it! Well, if I really hated it *that* much, I’d quit eating the chocolate, right? I’ve sucked the last 6 months, not exercising much and eating too much. Well, I’m trying. I kept track of my points today and did not go over.  I went [...]

Crazy Fans

Er, that would be me, Amal, Lynda, Nancy and Tami.   Fans of the incomparable Susan Elizabeth Phillips, who came thorugh West Palm Bech on her book tour.  We all met on her bulletin board but it felt like we’d been friends forever. We made a day of it, starting with a trip to [...]

Goodbye, Major

Harvey Russell, known around church as the Major, passed away this morning. Harvey, we will miss you! Harvey was retired military, old school, kind of a lonely man. He adored being head usher, a job the rest of us reluctantly take turns with. He puffed up like a peacock and happily stood at the back [...]

By Your Command

Craig got the kids addicted to Battlestar Galactica, the old one with Dirk Benedict.  You would not believe the race each night to get homework done early so they have time to watch an episode before dinner.
Well, we ran out of cookies agan and had to go get more. And ran out again. Now I’m [...]
