Yesterday, of course, was Mother's day. The holiday that could go either way. Either you are blissfully happy or your expectations have gone unmet. Me? Well, I dictate the day. My only request was for them to simply leave me alone along with having pizza for dinner....

Let me start by saying, I am not a fan of a day honoring Mothers. I have always believed that everyday should be about celebrating those individuals who raise tiny little humans without losing their shit. But, there are unrealistic expectations attached to the...

We have been waiting since Tuesday regarding Brian's job. He had a verbal offer from the one company pending the background check and drug test results. When Thursday arrived, we were still in a holding pattern and I was getting antsy. My problem revolves around...

Let me share about day two of "phoneageddon". (Read my blog, The Phone, to get the backstory.) Every morning, I am up at the ass crack of dawn because the girls aka my Basset hounds, have me trained. Yesterday was no different. By 5:45 a.m., I was positioned on the...

Brian's phone died yesterday. He tried to resuscitate it through various suggestions he found online. Unfortunately, it was dead on arrival. RIP, two month old phone. This unfortunate occurrence led him to our neighborhood Verizon store to seek out a solution. Trapped...
