Seems like it’s been a long time since my last griping-about-Walmart blog post. Either I’m getting used to their secretive price-gauging ways, or I’m too busy in my personal life to spend as much time feeling wronged by the corporate giant. Maybe it’s a little of both. But a few weeks ago, a couple of […]

I used to think that parrots had a secret pact to make fun of the many asinine humans who idiotically blurt, “Polly want a cracker?” every time they spot one of the beautiful birds. I’m not sure from where the custom originated, but I always thought it was a stupid, albeit irresistible, thing to say

I was right about something – I said it was going to be a great weekend and it was, even now, Sunday afternoon, when it’s time for the Easter comedown the kids get when their sugar highs from all that candy wear off! We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary (again!) Friday night with a game
What sets him off? Everything under the sun and even the sun itself. I’m talking about our lovely scarlet macaw parrot. I would not recommend these things as pets for ANYONE – it’s true when they say that wild animals cannot be tamed! Why we have our bird is a long story, and it’s not

Once again, we have a bit of a food chain residing as pets in our home. When my cat passed away a year ago now, it left a hole in our household food chain. Although it’s not quite as balanced as it was when the cat was here, today we find ourselves with a small
What a frenzied way to start off the shortened week after a 3 day weekend – it was Pet Day at my oldest daughter’s school today. So this morning saw us trying to unload a parrot, a 19-month-old little girl and a dog from the car, all while trying to get the other dog to
I had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend. We decided to celebrate Saturday in order to avoid the crowds at all the restaurants and other establishments; also it worked out well because my kids often need all of Sunday as a rest day to recooperate from the previous week and the weekend before returning to school

RECAP: My favorite kitchen tool (can you tell I’m not a gourmet cook?), my retractable permanent marker aka Sharpie, went missing. UPDATE: Just when I had given up and assumed that my toddler had thrown it in the garbage, it turned up in the unlikliest of places (of course). It was in the laundry room,

We had an Oscar party last night. It was a lot of fun! We asked the guests to bring a $5 item from home they would have put in a garage sale. Everyone filled out a ballot, and whoever got the most correct guesses (my husband out of sheer luck, can you believe it? He
You know I’m not going to finish that sentence… if you’ve seen Happy Gilmore, you know how it ends, anyway. If not, rent it if you like comedies, it’s a good one. In case you haven’t noticed, I watch a lot of tv. Actually, I don’t really watch it, I just leave it on to
The Price is WRONG, Bit… Read More »
