Rants – Read at Your Own Risk!

No Spin Zone

April 20, 2011

It should come as no surprise to you that I run with a crowd of Disneyphiles. Which is really quite cool because there are a select few groups in which I can let my mouse card hang out without being shunned. That said, I have a confession to make. One that it appears as though [...]

The Wife. And Happy To Be.

January 18, 2010

My friend Heather tells me not to do it.  But I do it anyway. Watch Oprah, that is. I can’t help it; she has some really great shows. Even though sometimes she sticks her foot in her mouth, smack dab in the middle of a really great show. Such was the case last week. The [...]

Make Way For Our Fearless Leader

September 3, 2009

I’ve been sort of swamped with writing deadlines, so I’ve been a bit scarce here at the Spot. I did, however, want to pop in briefly and tell  you about something I heard about via my girl, Heather.

Say It Ain’t So

November 4, 2008

My mind is preoccupied tonight. I sat down intending to write a post that would have been almost identical to this one.  It appears as though Amy saved me the trouble though.  Apparently wise minds think alike.  Gotta love her.  We’re watching election results roll in. Both Pennsylvania and Ohio have been projected to be [...]

Darcie for President

October 8, 2008

I watched Oprah today.   I know the dangers of talking politics on my blog (I might offend someone-like I’ve never done that  before) but I can’t really hold my tongue on this one.  It really wouldn’t have bothered me so much had it not come on the heels of that Presidential debate last night. Today’s [...]
