Yep, you knew I would do it.  I am dedicating the letter O to the big O, Orgasm.  They feel good, you want them, you need them, and you hope your partner isn't too tired at the end of the day to give you one.  Enough said...

Neverland.  Don't you ever wish a place like Neverland truly existed?  You would never have to grow up and face adult responsibilities, like mortgage payments, electric bills, family vacations (you know the ones I'm talking about, the long drives across 5 states in a crowded sta… Read full post »

Mickey Mouse is my favorite cartoon character, and I look forward to seeing him every time we go to Disney World.  He is always happy and always willing to shake a hand or give a hug.  And, he never looks bad in a picture.  His outfit is always… Read full post »

Las Vegas is one of my favorite places to vacation.  There are no rules, and you can pretty much do whatever you want (within the legal limits).  It's the adult Disney World.  I like to drink, gamble, lay in the hot desert sun, and take in a Cirque show… Read full post »

Kilimanjaro Safaris is my favorite ride in Disney's Animal Kingdom.  It takes you on an adventure through Africa in search of elephant poachers.  But, all ends well, and the animals you get to view along the way are spectacular.  You actually feel removed from Disney, like… Read full post »

Jameson, oh Jameson, oh how I love that Irish whiskey.  It warms me to the middle of my core.  It's my favorite drink when you add coke and a hint of lime to it.  Drinking it straight up isn't so bad either.  It's my drink of choice around… Read full post »

Ice Cream is yummy and comes in all kinds of delicious, creamy flavors.  My favorite is butter pecan.  I also enjoy strawberry.  I would rather have a shake over a cone, and a sundae over a banana split.  My favorite ice cream shop is SUPER SCOOPS.  It's located… Read full post »

Happy Hour is the best part of the day.  You can leave all your worries behind, order the drink of the day, sit back, and relax with good friends and family.  If you are at home, you can break out that new bottle of white wine or mix… Read full post »

The Goo Goo Dolls have been my favorite band for about 13 years.  When "Slide" hit the airwaves, I wanted to slide right into Johnny Rzeznik.  I named my dog Rzeznik after all.  Hey, I'm committed.  I know, "Name" and "Iris" had already been out, with a couple… Read full post »

Farts are funny.  You know they are.  Don't start blushing now.  They make weird noises, they smell awful, and the silent but deadly ones are the worst. 

When my dog farts (if it's loud), and you call him on it, he will run out of the room… Read full post »

Easter is my least favorite holiday.  However, I think the decorations of chicks and bunnies are very cute.  And, I am guilty of having them spread all over my house.  I never got the whole Easter basket thing, but I do make sure my kid's baskets are loaded… Read full post »

The Counting Crows are a great touring band.  When I saw them back in St. Louis,  the fall of 2008, they rocked an old classic with the band Augustana, another one of my favorites (side step - I will be seeing them June 4 at HOB in Chicago).  … Read full post »

 Bath and Body Works is one of my favorite stores.  I could spend hours in there enjoying all the scents.  My favorite right now is Kitchen Lemon.  It smells so fresh.  Sweet Pea is also quite pleasant.  My favorite product would be the bubble bath.  It… Read full post »

Hi everyone!  I know, it's been a loooong time.  But, life got busy, and unfortunately I had to stop blogging for awhile.  But, hey, I'm back.  And, I'd like to do a little experiment (I saw it somewhere, and thought it would be cool to try). … Read full post »

After the Game Interviews...

Football held a big place in my house this past weekend.  We were all hoping the Bears would win it, and go on to play in the Super Bowl.  Unfortunately, we all know that didn't happen.  And, despite Cutler's injury, and the controversy surrounding it, I feel he didn't let… Read full post »

2 Stars in the Family

My college son got the lead role in the play his university is doing, and my youngest son got the lead role in the freshman/sophomore play at his high school.  I guess that means I have 2 wickedly talented kids.  I think they get it from me.  I have always… Read full post »

So, the Goo Goo Dolls are performing at half time tonight during the Orange Bowl.  It is going to be televised on ESPN.  I am very excited about this, because as you all know, the Goos are my absolute favorite band.  I hope they sing something upbeat and fun.  I hop… Read full post »

Gift Card Christmas

#101

Some people think that giving gift cards for Christmas is taking the easy way out.  Personally, I love receiving them!  I always welcome Panera, Starbucks, and any major retailer.  Most of my family and friends love receiving them too, as long as they are from a place they regular… Read full post »

Dog farts...

My dog had the worst gas last night.  It honestly smelled like rotten fish.  At one point, my husband and I had to leave the room, because it smelled so bad.  After about 10 minutes of the noxious fumes, I took poor Rzeznik outside.  Boy, am I glad I did. … Read full post »

Plastic Christmas Crap

I don't know about you, but I hate that plastic, Christmas crap that people put in their yards every year.  It looks sooooo tacky.  I'm all about greenery, lights, and classy decorative pieces.   But, that plastic crap has to go.  It doesn't look good.  It… Read full post »

The house is decorated, the cards have been sent, and the shopping is done.  So, it was time to start wrapping the piles and piles of gifts that had accumulated up in my closet.  I spent 5 hours wrapping, tying bows, and taping on gift tags.  I was exhausted, and… Read full post »

Common Courtesy

#97

Isn't it common courtesy to ask someone if they had a nice vacation after they come back from being gone for 2 weeks?  I don't think it's asking too much.  Do you?

 So, we took our kids on a 2 week vacation to the beach/Disney in Florida.  My daughter's teacher… Read full post »
