 Hot Mess

“She's a hot mess.”, they say these days.

I'm confused.  Help me out here.  Which is worse anyway, a hot mess or a cold mess?   Who decided to heat the mess?   We were good with just the standard mess-age for hundreds of years, then someone decides to heat up the mess.   Is this an improvement or a step back?  No one sends me these memos !

Proverbs 20:1

In the NIV (New International Version) it is, "Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise."  But in the KJV (King James) it is, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise."

I'm wondering how ( Read more... )

Maybe I'm finally getting the hang of this Michigan Weather thing.   It's been gray and totally overcast all day (now it's 5PM).  But two things just happened simultaneously.   The sun came out and it started raining cats and dogs.   Yes, at the same time.   Most people would consider this weird.   I used to be one of them.   Today I just revamped ( Read more... )

Some People Are Real Flakes

When I hear something on TV, I often go straight to the internet with my questions.   I wonder about many things.  Today, "dandruff" was my topic.   We all know what it is, but really, what is it?   So I looked into Wikipedia, and here's the laugh......

"Dandruff is in some cultures considered aesthetically displeasing ( Read more... )

Ghoti-ing Around for New Words  -

(Warning:  This particular post wanders more than some others and may leave you discombobulated.)

I did something stupid today, but at least it had no consequences; I caught myself in my stupidity; and I did it in private, so no one knows (Ooops!).

If you hadn't guessed already, I'm a bit persnickety when it comes ( Read more... )

These Times, No Rhymes

When faced with an unfathomable situation, folks often give out the following ludicrous platitude:

“There's no rhyme or reason to it.”

Uh....Would it really be all that helpful if it rhymed? Seriously?
Now that I've pointed it out, isn't that one of the stupidest phrases you've ever heard?

Success - So Why Am I Still Terrified?

My kids, now ages 24 and 22, have recently (the last year or so) been flooding me first with covert affirmations and then outright compliments on the job I did as a mother, and as their Mother.

And now I'm at a new threshold in life.  I'm going to become a Grandmother in September.   (Bring on the arthritis ( Read more... )

1- The baby was delivered, the cord clamped and cut and handed to the pediatrician,

 Welcome to Summer ...
... the heat, the flying insects with their stingers (and hearing damage from my screaming), and the ANTS.

Have you ever noticed that ants never seem to be in the sink?    All those tasty dishes just sitting there, waiting for me to stop procrastinating, but no ants.   Why not?    They're certainly fit enough to rock-climb up ( Read more... )
