Music quiz – winners and answers revealed!
First off – dudes. That last post? Tongue firmly jammed in cheek. Semi-successful (the glass is half-full, dammit) attempt to help lighten things up. I should have learned from Kristen’s leash post.
(For the record, I like OTHER PEOPLE’S cats and dogs. I’m relishing my current pet-free existence after years of dealing with cat pee and dog poop. [...]

Breaking up is hard to do
Izzy has already done a fabulous job of explaining the “just not that into you” aspect of blogging. As I said in my comment to her, I think she’s right on. Just as in our personal friendships, we click with some people and not with others. If we never give it a chance, we’ll never [...]

What they don’t teach you in Driver’s Ed
I did not want to learn to drive.
I turned 16 in February of my sophomore year of high school, so I enrolled in Driver’s Ed that second semester. My parents had never particularly enjoyed chauffeuring my arse around town, so they looked forward to a reprieve. I was extremely apprehensive about being in control of [...]

Most Memorable Vacation, Post 4 of 8 – Santorini
After departing Mykonos, we headed to Santorini.
Santorini’s coastline and topography tell a bit about its history. Its western coast was formed by volcanic activity, which is also the reason why its soil is so rich (compared to the other islands in the Cyclades). Pyrgos is the highest point on the island, and the beautiful beaches [...]

Meme-a-licious
Thanks to Mrs. Chicky and Rachel, I have something to write about while the rest of you are finishing my quiz:
The three _______s on a desert island meme AND the letter meme, brought to you by the letter G.
If you were stranded on a desert island (without Ginger and the Professor and all those folks to [...]

Mothergoosemouse’s Music Quiz Giveaway!
First, thank you again to Amalah for the love. I feel like I did freshman year of high school when Scott Madding called me. No cute boy had ever called me before. I went to school the next day and told EVERYONE. “Scott Madding called me! Scott Madding called me! Scott Madding called me!” You would have thought [...]

Q: How to improve children’s books based on revived syndicated characters?
A: Add toilet humor.
This post is revoltingly childish and immature. You’ve been warned.
My grandmother – god love her – bought Tacy some books featuring Strawberry Shortcake. Now I’ll admit that back in the day (circa 1978) I had a Strawberry Shortcake lunchbox. But I never expected her to make an appearance in MY children’s lives.
And [...]

Gratuitous family blather, now WITH audio!
Izzy and TAB (The Anonymous Benefactor) rule the school, sending Elizabeth to BlogHer. You ladies rock.
Another benefactor contacted me about a BlogHer ticket giveaway. I had suggested Elizabeth as a deserving winner before I knew that Izzy had donated her ticket to Elizabeth, so I need to know who else might like to go! Actually, [...]

Thursday Third Degree, Issue 7
Must stop eating leftover bread pudding and baklava. Don’t even like baklava. But oh so sweet and sticky. Mmmmmm.
My answers from the last issue:
1. I use a PC. I started on Macs, but the standard in the military was PCs (with a few exceptions depending on the preferences of the VIP in charge – for [...]

It begins with us
Yesterday, I read a fascinating post from Debbie in which she described a conversation she recently overheard. I won’t rehash the details of the discussion here, but several flight attendants were criticizing – implicitly and explicitly – choices made by a fellow flight attendant. Choices relating to work, motherhood, travel, and feeding.
While the details are not irrelevant – [...]
