After what my toilet did

After what my toilet did to me tonight (no, I have not ever even heard of an electric toilet plunger…) I really got a kick out of Aaron’s Wild Toilets article. Last fall when considering leaving apartment life behind I decided that as long as I am single an apartment is not a bad [...]


Hey Naomi! Look! An All

Hey Naomi! Look! An All Your Base Are Belong to Us T-Shirt on the LittleYellowDifferent Guy. (February 27, 2001 post) Too funny. Here I had never heard of it before last week, and now it is popping up where I least expect it.
Kymberlie & I went to the Duran Duran [...]


I don’t normally post things

I don’t normally post things like this here or send them along by e-mail. But this one really made me stop and think, so here it is. I am proud to have been an Army wife, and I am proud of my ex-husband who is still serving in the U.S. Army at Ft. [...]


Ack! I just realized I

Ack! I just realized I am as bad as the person that tossed me into this funk. I told Tom on Friday that I would call him, and never did. Egads. Now I am in a funk and feeling guilty at the same time. I am a terrible friend. [...]


I tried to update over

I tried to update over the weekend, but kept getting very strange error messages and the posts never made it. I don’t think I blame it on Blogger though, as my PC was acting flaky. It always acts flaky after I am on Napster. Do you think I would learn finally and [...]


Thanks Rick for filling me

Thanks Rick for filling me in on Mr. Rodgers. Just in case Blog Voices ever goes away, I have to add it here…
I think the idea of having Fred change his shoes at the beginning of the show is to make it look like he is coming home from a job like children’s parents [...]


Now this is fun!

Now this is fun!


Many thanks to Fred at

Many thanks to Fred at vain, selfish & lazy for making me laugh quite hard with his commentary on the Grammys. What a riot. I love the bit about the twins from a few days earlier too.


Ahhhh… the memories. Don’t ask

Ahhhh… the memories. Don’t ask me why, but for some reason I just left Mr. Rodger’s Neighborhood on when I was flipping channels. And it brought a few questions to mind. Do you think he ever considered just wearing the tennis shoes & the sweater to the show instead of making that [...]


The news amazes me. It

The news amazes me. It must be an incredibly slow night here in Houston, because they have been hiding this one under their hats waiting for the right time to pull it out… I am watching channel 11, the local CBS station. The news has just started. Picture two anchors sitting [...]

I enjoyed visiting Here’s Bloggin’

I enjoyed visiting Here’s Bloggin’ At You Kid! today… and then I followed links off of her site to other sites, and before I know it too much time has passed. Gee, what will I be doing tonight? Surfing blogs! I love blogs… want me to read your blog? Just [...]


Queen of no patience and

Queen of no patience and instant gratification… forget about waiting until after dinner. I did it NOW. I have used SSI to fill in the section there to the right. *Please* e-mail me if you don’t see anything over there! Hopefully it is cross-platform compatible, but I can’t check it on [...]


I couldn’t pass up the

I couldn’t pass up the Are You an Optimist or a Pessimist? test today. The result?
Congratulations! You’re the eternal optimist, a regular “Sunshine Day” of a person. When it rains, you think about how good the water is for the flowers and trees rather than how wet you’re getting. More likely to trust someone [...]


I love the “To all

I love the “To all the moms…” quote that Julie added on Valentine’s Day. It made me a little misty even (ok, that’s not that hard to do, I know, but still…) Hey Julie, it’s ok to have those “Bad Mom” days. It happens to all of us! I can relate, [...]


Oh my. I haven’t mentioned

Oh my. I haven’t mentioned Naomi here in days! Ack! I am soooo sorry Naomi. Please don’t think I no longer love you. Matter of fact, thank you *SO* much for your support last night in my moment of weakness when I almost called the Insignificant Other. Yes, it [...]


Finding Graphically-Virtual today was a

Finding Graphically-Virtual today was a very pleasent surprise! Thanks Tina, for linking to my site, and I will be back very often to visit yours! I love the graphics - beautiful!


I had to do the

I had to do the “Do you Have A Sixth Sense?” test for Tom. And the results are in…
Wondering what to do with your life? Why not help Dionne Warwick get the Psychic Friends Network back off the ground? Your sixth sense is pretty powerful, so you’d be perfect for the job. You [...]


My Color: You’re brown, a

My Color: You’re brown, a credible, stable color that’s reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you’re a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you’re probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts [...]


My Color Aura: We don’t

My Color Aura: We don’t need a psychic to tell us that you’re giving off a Crimson vibe. Your ruby-red aura reveals your passionate, sensual nature — you’re all about earthly pleasure. Whether you’re getting a great massage or having a sumptuous dinner, you delight in experiences that fully engage your senses. (Crimson is, [...]
