Random Ridiculosity

It is currently 9:00pm Saturday night, and I haven’t had anything caffeinated to drink since 7:30am Thursday morning. I wasn’t intending to go completely caffeine-free just yet, it just sort of ‘happened’. Ever since the doctor suggested that “hey, maybe those heart palpitations will go away if you lay off the caffeine,” I’ve been trying … Read moreI’m caffeine….*gulp*…..free?

Why the celebration, you ask?  Well, first of all, let me tell you why it *isn’t*: It’s not because it was the last day of school for the kids that attend the private school where I work. What do I care? I work all year long…Besides, summer camp starts on Monday, so there will still … Read moreBreak out the champagne, it’s time to PAR-TAY!!!

I am currently in the throes of Round 8 (or 9, or 20…I’ve lost count at this point!) of my bout with bird flu.  Yes, of course, it’s really only a cold or a sinus infection, (or seasonal allergies that seem to span all 4 seasons of the year, if you got your medical degree … Read moreThank God it’s [almost] Friday!

I had another one of those, “I need a camera!” moments Saturday evening. It was like one of those movie scenes when the extraordinarily beautiful woman pulls out a cigarette in a bar and 5 men climb all over each other trying to be the one to give her a light. I said the words, “I … Read moreAsk, and ye shall receive!!

I’d like to thank everyone that voted, but the polls are now officially closed. It’s time to announce this year’s recipients of the  Parents of the Year award. It was a tough decision, but in the end, there was really no other family that came close. The parents of two young children, mom is a … Read moreParents of the Year

My next phone definitely needs to be a camera phone. I have this habit of seeing things throughout the day and thinking, “I need a picture of that!” Of course whenever this happens, there is no camera to be found. I started carrying my digital camera around with me everywhere for a while, but never … Read moreMy latest “I need a camera phone” moment…

Ok, folks, this one just goes to prove that stupidity is a crime punishable by law – and jail time.  Richard Hatch,  the  winner of the first season of Survivor (you know, the gay guy that liked to run around the island naked, showing his coconuts to the world), was sentenced yesterday to 51 months … Read moreSurvival of the Dumbest
