Call Me Michele Hussein

Did anyone else hear that idiot Bill Cunningham on NPR the other day? Insisting on referring to Barack Obama as “Barack Hussein Obama”, with an emphasis on “Hussein”?
It really chapped me, and with my love of all things moisturizing, that is saying alot. Yes, I am an Obama Sheep, Obamaniac, or whatever derivative [...]

Oh, Vanna…

I got this from Sharpie. She gets to be a Cervix, and I am Pat Sajack.

You are The Wheel of Fortune

And I just have one thing toask. What the HELL took us so long?????
It was delicious.
We have been on dates before, [...]

Reduced to Lame

So I hit Target this morning for the 50% Valentine’s day stuff.
No, no candy. We have sugar coming out of our eyeballs from the haul the kids got yesterday at their Valentine Party, and the years supply of Thin Mints that arrived earlier in the week. I went for the non-edible stuff – the cute [...]

A Mars Lotion on my Venus Hands

A really nice guy named Pete sent me samples of “Gloves in a Bottle” to review here. I was curious about it because not only am I a fanatical hand washer, I also have naturally dry skin that gets even worse in the winter. Gloves in a Bottle describes itself as a “Shielding [...]
