I don’t normally do recipes. I like to cook but I do it more by feel than looking at specific instructions. But here’s my attempt at passing off my recipe for chili. It’s sort of a New Years tradition to eat some chili, watch some football games, and recover from way too much wine.
It’s pretty […]

Okay, so we just dropped Grandma (my mom) off at the airport. L.A. Toddler cried when we were driving off — which I think was pretty cool. They definitely bonded over the last week. And that can go either way. Even though she knows her (and saw her back in August) she could have been […]

Did you get an iPod for Christmas? Did you try to download any songs from iTunes this week? Apparently a whole lot of people tried to download songs from the Apple site. So much that it crashed. People were getting error messages and posting urgent “Help me!” messages on the website.
It seems a lot of […]

Oh, Merry Christmas, by the way! I was so busy over the holiday, I never really got a chance to post. It’s so funny — you think that because a holiday is coming up that you’ll have PLENTY of time to sit and type away at posts on your blog. But, nooooo. That’s never the […]

L.A. Toddler and I went shopping last night. L.A. Mommy was babysitting for another couple so they could go to his holiday party. I would have preferred to “go it alone” this late in the season, but I knew this was my last best chance to get it done. My mom is flying in on […]

It’s finally cold here (I use that term loosely — it’s a high of 55 degrees today and a low of 35 tonight. That’s damn cold […]

Amen…

I only have the length of a very short nap to tell others about my horrible, terrible situation. The male human is staring at a massive collection of paper sheets - I think they call it a book. The woman is cleaning their clothing in the big white box.
The small one is sleeping. But still… […]

Sometimes bloggers will post some of perverted keywords used to find their blogs on Google. But I found a keyword phrase today that, if it was “real”… really got to me. During this time of the year, many of us get to count our blessings and hopefully realize how great we have it.
The keyword phrase […]

So, I went out to drive off to work yesterday morning and my old Grand Cherokee did not want to cooperate. As a firm believer in Karma (with a capital K), I knew my truck was laughing at me and that this was pure retribution for having ridden a motorcycle instead for the past 6 […]
