Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot. . .

. . . oh it is here — THE LAST DAY OF 2020. Huzzah! This was the slowest and most odd year of my life. I have seen so many funny memes about it all over the Internet. I will not bore you by repeating them here. You know how to Google! LOL Many thingsContinue reading “Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot. . .”

Girl Scouts

I was a Girl Scout for a hot minute when I was in grade 3. Actually I think I was a Brownie – but still not even for a full year. In Grade 2 I had tried to join the Boy Scouts when we were living in Folk Polk, Louisiana. The school announcement said ifContinue reading “Girl Scouts”

A- is the Asian F

While the kids enjoy their last week off for Winter Break I remind them to be sure to get their sleeping schedules back in line so they can be ready for “school” – such as it is during the pandemic. They moan and whine and I am transported back to my childhood growing up withContinue reading “A- is the Asian F”

The Morning After

It’s the day after Christmas. Two camps of people are feeling very different from one another today. The ELF camp is sad that Christmas is over. No more glitter, shiny wrapping paper or the thrill of opening gifts. The Grinch camp is glad but exhausted. No more pretending to like the gifts they got, noContinue reading “The Morning After”

So This is Christmas

Just some funny thoughts for you. . . Nothings says Christmas like opening gifts from your family and you are reminded they really know nothing about you. My husband and I watch DieHard on Christmas every year but I’m starting to think maybe it is also a Harry Potter movie since the main character doesContinue reading “So This is Christmas”

Elf On The Shelf Is Surveillance

Happy Christmas Eve – haha- says the Grinch. You know by now I have no love for Christmas although I try not to ruin anyone else’s fun. However, I can not let Elf on the Shelf go. A mom and daughter duo wrote a book in 2005 and it became a marketing juggernaut. I can’tContinue reading “Elf On The Shelf Is Surveillance”

“Love Is A Many Splendored Thing”. . .

. . .to quote one of my favorite movies – Moulin Rouge – “Love is like Oxygen. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!” Of course the main character was using lines from songs to express HIS love for a woman. Why is love on my brain? Isn’t that aContinue reading ““Love Is A Many Splendored Thing”. . .”

Persimmons – The Perfect Fruit

I mentioned earlier how much I love persimmons. I have a November birthday so I would often get persimmons as gifts when I was younger. Instead of writing a blog entry I thought I would share with you a short article I wrote for a writing class in 2012. It says everything I want toContinue reading “Persimmons – The Perfect Fruit”

Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire

Or, in my case the oven! I was at Trader Joe’s and decided to buy a bag of Italian chestnuts. In November my favorite food is persimmon. How did I not blog about that? I will remedy that shortly. December means chestnuts to me. I prefer Korean (Chinese) chestnuts but I had never had ItalianContinue reading “Chestnuts Roasting On an Open Fire”

Beauty Secrets

One of my stolen entertainment moments include watching Youtube videos. I subscribe to maybe 10 channels total and when they do not have new material I might explore a little bit. I’m a juvenile male trapped inside a woman’s brain in terms of humor so the fails videos usually entertain me for a bit andContinue reading “Beauty Secrets”
