Christmas Bloopers (A Tap On The Ass)

I’d be a bad blogger if I left out the juicy and tawdry bits. It is my duty to report all of the facts ma’am or sir! No booze were involved. The punch was not spiked and the nog consisted of just egg and nog…or whatever goes into Eggnog sans booze. I was standing in … Continue reading →

And To All A Good Night

Seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child brings back all of the wonderment of the season. Their belief in the “magic” of it all causes us to suspend our jaded disbelief…if only for a day. Today I built a princess castle with two little princesses. I watched a little boy fire a rifle at … Continue reading →

That Guy

You know the guy. We all know the guy. “That guy” is the guy at the party who knows more than anyone else has, or will ever know. That guy knows how to clear a room. I added a new post last night, and it was well received. I got some laughs and positive comments. … Continue reading →

I … Continue reading →

The Bing Bling Bar: Search and Get Free Stuff!

I’ve never been a proponent of highlighting freebies, discounts or coupons on my blog. Bloggers who do, do it right and do it consistently. That’s not my domain, but I’d feel remiss if I didn’t share my recent super deal with my readers. Back in the Summer I downloaded the Bing search engine on a … Continue reading →

“Nice Pants”

Nice pants is the phrase that was muttered by the rooster of a flock of snickering boys. They were hunkered at an outside table that led in to the coffee shop that adjoined my local grocery store. All I wanted was a coffee, a roasted chicken, and maybe some wine. OKAY…definitely some wine. I wasn’t … Continue reading →
