latchkey kid I was a latchkey kid growing up. My mom was working and going to school. So I was home alone for at least an hour or two in the afternoon. And I loved it. Almost immediately after school I would head to the neighborhood convenience store. I'd buy candy and snack cakes, then eagerly head home to watch afternoon cartoons. I had a routine....

America's Team. Really?America's Team. Really? When I was growing up Baltimore didn't have a football team. Most would assume that I would look down the road to DC for a team to cheer for, but no. I looked all over the league and decided to become a Cowboys fan. (I was 12 and thought Troy Aikman was cute.) I dropped my Dallas Star for a Baltimore Raven in '96. But there's still a soft...

Boyfriend: Honey? Can you get me some toilet paper? You: Sure, if you give me a ring. Sun Tzu says: Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not...

Not the Mama! It's not that I'm anti-baby. I'm just anti-me-having-a-baby. I remember when I was younger I would play with my cabbage patch doll Kristie Mae or Kelly Ann or whatever the heck her name was. I would dress her up in little outfits and do her hair. I had a stroller to cart her around in and we even had matching rain slickers. It was fun for...

Viagra PenguinViagra Penguin I LOVE Penguins. Penguins were my sorority mascot. Since graduation, 6 years ago, I haven't participated in any sorority stuff. But I still love penguins. They're so cute and adorable. How could you not love them? Anyone who knows me, knows my fascination with everything penguin. There is at lease 1 penguin in every room of our...

Furr-mommy got back.

Category : Uncategorized

It’s become very hard lately to come up with topics to write about. So I’ll just give you snippets of what’s been going on.

I’ve realized a big downfall to all my drink testing…gaining weight. Did you think I was going to say alcoholism or liver damage? Pfft…no. It’s my not-so-girlish figure. I have a martini belly. Wide up top and tapers on the way down. Muffin tops are not cute. So I am now working out again to help offset all the cocktails. I’ve also decided to downsize my drinks. Our martini glasses are huge, so we end up drinking way more than we expect. (BTW: we used to have four martini glass until Jay broke one. But I’ve decided that we need more. I’m tired of constantly washing them. So if any family or friends happen to read this, we’d love martini glasses for Christmas.)

Made a Peppermint Patty Martini the other night and it was awesome! I mixed 1 part creme de menthe, 1 part white chocolate liqueur, and 1 part chocolate vodka. Amazing! The husband was weirded out by the color but was soon singing its praises.

Watched Paranormal Activity 1 with Jay. Scared me so bad I started crying. I don’t know when I became such a wuss. I used to spend every Saturday afternoon watching nightmare theatre. I loved scary movies. I’m a Stephen King fanatic. So can’t wait to see Paranormal Activity 2.

In cat news, Jay and I have gone over board in our love of our cat. We’ve started referring to each other as mommy and daddy. As in “daddy should clean the litter box.” “no, that’s mommy’s job.” The other morning Jay brought Izzy into the bedroom to “wake up mommy.” We’re so disgusting!
