Black Friday Bust

Every Thanksgiving Day I tell the Husband that I will wake up (or stay up) and attend the traditional Black Friday Shopstravaganza.  But for two Black Fridays in a row, I sent him shopping on his own while I curled up in the bed. You heard that right.  The Husband does the Black Friday shopping.  [...]

Protect Yourself From Guest Liability This Thanksgiving

Here we are on the eve of Thanksgiving, which just so happens to be one of my favorite holidays (neck-and-neck with Halloween and International Ashley Day).  It is a time when we focus on what we are thankful for.  And it is a time to EAT.  I will be cooking some desserts and the broccoli [...]

The Husband Loves TMZ

And what is up with that? I have problems wrapping my brain around the fact that the Husband is addicted to TMZ. You have to understand that the Husband doesn’t watch much TV (The Simpsons, King of the Hill and Adult Swim – that’s about it).  He doesn’t even follow celebrity gossip.  No tabloids, no [...]

A New Way to Annoy the Husband: Declare Today a Musical Day

I don’t know how it happened.  Maybe I was bored.  I was looking at a 8.5 hour car trip (10 hours with stops).  Maybe I was giddy since I was going back home.  Or possibly I had a bit too much caffeine this morning.  Whatever the reason, today when the Husband asked me a question [...]

Ready to Head Home

My time here in Illinois is done.  It looks like I will be staying in Tennessee for a little while longer.  It also means that I will be taking another Bar in the future and then deciding what the plan of attack is after I get those results back.  I enjoyed my time here, but [...]
