Actually, Mr. Demonic’s car finally breathed its last, and it’s about freaking time.
When last we left Mr. D, he was nursing along a very old Malibu with over 250,000 miles on it. It’s a car that’s seen a lot of action, first with a multitude of teenagers who invariably aim straight for curbs.
At 80,000 miles, [...]

I just came back from dropping Ms. MiniD off at the airport, and I am giddy with excitement. Please sing after me: She’s going back to college! She’s going back to college!
Now I don’t dislike my daughter, but let’s face it, she’s high maintenance, moody, negative, and a slob. She’s the perfect model for one [...]

My recent trip to San Francisco to visit my son had me thinking about motherhood and mother-in-law-hood. Actually, something else had me thinking of mother-in-law-hood, and it was something that happened a week before. I related the entire thing to my Internet Boyfriend/Friend, because I was quite upset. It’s nice to have friends to bounce [...]

Now my Dear Mr. Demonic is a wonderful man. He’s smart, funny, and a [...]

I’ve written in other places about going home, and the things that happen when we all get together. There are six of us siblings, and we’ve always been loud, rambunctious and overwhelming. When one of us who lives far away comes home to visit, the rest get together and prepare a large dinner at my [...]

(Reposted from somewhere else, sometime else. I guess I’m thinking of her because it’s almost the anniversary of her death. I’m also sick and can’t think straight enough to write a new post. )
On a cold day in April, my daughter and I traveled by car to Minnesota to visit my ailing sister-in-law, Lesley, [...]

Many years ago, right after I was sucked into the Beanie Baby craze, my husband purchased a beautiful curio cabinet for me. Once it became apparent that Beanie Babies were an incurable addiction (by the sheer number of the little bean-bagged critters) I moved the “collection” into plastic tubs. A few thousand Beanie Babies now [...]

Christmas this year was glorious! It’s the reason why I haven’t been online much in the last few days. I’ve been so blessed, because I got what I really wanted for Christmas.
My son and his girlfriend came home early Sunday morning. Even though they made the trip by red-eye from the West Coast, they decided [...]
