I’m sick and I just ate a bowl of frozen peas. I microwaved them of course, but they really didn’t help. I usually get sinus pressure, runny nose sick, but this one is chest cough, floating head, fully clothed in bed with socks on sick. Miserable. So, having to get up before I made a…
Pinterest is like cereal. It’s probably not good for me or the best use of my time, and it’s full of empty calories, but I don’t give a crap I’m eating the whole box. I love it. I told Michael it was a stress reliever, to which he said, “You must be really stressed.” Funny…
The towel bar in my bathroom is broken. Well, it’s not really broken, but the round part slips off the wall bracket and then the bar falls out and onto the floor. I’m pretty sure all I need to do is tighten the little screw at the bottom of the round part so it stays on…
Choices. A person’s life is made up, decorated, by the choices they’ve made. If nothing is ever decided or risked the canvas remains blank, but for the few brush strokes made by childhood.

8.9, that is huge and unimaginable to me. I live in the desert and while I’ve been to a lot of places, I’ve never been anywhere long enough or at the wrong time to experience an earthquake. Thanks to iReporters I was able to watch video clips of the earthquake that hit Japan. Unbelievable and…
Drinking. People drink for a lot of reasons and while I’m sure there are a few people out there that just love the taste of alcohol, I’m guessing most of us drink because of the way it makes us feel. Drinking can “take the edge off” “loosen you up” “make you the life of the…
No one wants to be alone. Life is just better when you travel with others. These are phrases often heard during dinner parties, touted by self help gurus and generally understood within our culture. In response, we pair up or find a group we have things in common with or get on facebook and reconnect…
I’ve always found the phrase “May contain nuts or nut pieces” odd, especially when it is found on foods that have nothing to do with nuts. Don’t the makers of these products know whether there are nuts? What do you mean it “may contain”? After seeing this several times and pondering the possibilities I’ve determined…
