Soul Patrol

February 26, 2009

I’m a big American Idol fan.  I’ve watched every season.  Even the first one when Ryan had that dorky sidekick host.  Ugh.  I’m so glad they put the kibosh on that. In spite of all my watching, I’m not a big voter.  Of the hundreds of contestants who’ve made it to the voting stage I’ve [...]

It’s Rough Being Me

February 24, 2009

Did I mention that I’m going to see Taylor Hicks tomorrow? As in Taylor Hicks of American Idol fame. Yeah.  That Taylor Hicks. We go way back. Either that or I won passes on the radio.  Who am I to split hairs though? He’s in town starring in the Broadway version of Grease.  Our local [...]

My Date With The Feds

February 23, 2009

This week I learned that if a federal investigator calls your house wanting to set up an appointment to meet, you shouldn’t panic or jump to conclusions.

Today I learned that I’ve learned a lot in my life.  Granted, it’s knowledge I’ve acquired over a lifetime, but only today did I realize how [...]

Ten Hostess Gift Ideas

February 17, 2009

A few weeks ago I wrote a post in which I asked for hostess gift ideas.  I’m sure that the fact that it received in excess of two hundred comments had nothing at all to do with the giveaway I offered.  Coerced or not though I did receive a ton of great ideas – ideas [...]

The Bright Side

February 17, 2009

My schedule is off this week. I’m not  a girl who adjusts well. Doctors appointments in the middle of my day and cars in the body shop do not make me happy. Plus, I accidentally poured too much flaxseed meal into my steel cut oats this morning and now they taste grainy. I’m choosing the [...]
