Cherry Tussin Just Isn’t Good With Anything

December 21, 2006

I’m trying a few things to help this nasty cough syrup go down better. Walgreens was out of the tablet form (super!) and gave me syrup (damnit!). Tea doesn’t make it better. Coffee makes it taste like burnt chocolate. Ginger ale makes it taste like a bubbly form of the nasty cough syrup. Bourbon. That’s [...]

What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?

December 21, 2006

In order not to push people down in front of me when the holiday shopping madness begins, it’s important that I figure out ways to entertain myself. Like teasing my husband when he accidentally shoplifts a bracelet. (Merry Christmas, Mallory! We hope you like it!) It’s fun to shop with him because he is a [...]

B-List Blogging, A-List Christmas Gifts

December 20, 2006

Dear Santa, Allow me to explain… Actually, I’m not sure I should be addressing Santa. Perhaps it’s Mother Nature. I’d just like to know who to blame for this virus I’m housing and allowing to grow and fester in my body. Get thee out, icky germs. (I have an English degree. That there is some [...]

Tea Pee

December 19, 2006

I’m sickly today. I really want the chocolate raspberry Kona I had yesterday, but I should stick with tea & honey. Bigelow’s Constant Comment (an orange, spiced black tea) is really good for when I’m sick. Touch of honey, slice of lemon, and cuppa after cuppa later…. I’m peeing all the damn time.

WeVo Got TiVo

December 19, 2006

Not too long ago I was contacted about reviewing a product through TiVo called KidZone that uses closed-captioning on their programs as well as gives parents greater access to monitor what kids watch. As a parent, I’m all for this. As a teacher, even more so. KidZone has great benefits. We use a code that [...]

Chocolate Raspberry Kona

December 18, 2006

When Melissa sent me Kona coffee I was certain that I’d just love the original Kona and then feel great, affectionate feelings for the other kinds. I promised myself that I’d pet them and give them a nice view of the kitchen, but I really just wanted to see them in their pretty package. Then, [...]

Mocha Love

December 18, 2006

What do you say we make up a new euphemism for helping others out? We’re letting them “float in our froth”. That works, doesn’t it? All this love smothering in warm, frothy mochaccino love is today’s theme. Everyone has a time they can remember when people helped them out and I am no exception. There [...]

Freaking Sucky Coffee

December 15, 2006

Late for work today means that there was no coffee. It also means I didn’t have time to stop anywhere and get something nummy and delicious. Conclusion? School coffee. Folgers. No creamer. No Splenda. (I refuse to use sugar) It’s twelve shades of suck is what it is.

“…to my big brother, George: the richest man in town.”

December 15, 2006

Whatever it was that I had in mind when I started this is a faint memory now. It began as a challenge to myself and there was the added bonus of being held accountable to a community of people. I am a wealthy woman, indeed. It ended up being something entirely altered with the outpouring [...]

Why Do You Do This To Me?

December 14, 2006

You make me cry. You make me believe, once again, in humanity. You spur me on to want to do more. You prove me wrong when I start to believe that people don’t care. You do that. YOU. Thank you. I’m donating $127 to the Donnell and Christian and Tiffany Fund. Two people are matching [...]
