This should be the last of my November nutshells. When you are a nut yourself, you have a lot of material.
After ingesting our so-so Thanksgiving meal, my husband and I walked back home. It was still pleasant weather a week ago. Today it’s 15 friggin’ degrees outside, and even the dog doesn’t want to do [...]

Two days ago, my daughter and I took off from our Rust Belt home, on the way to SoCal and getting her registered for school.
I’m sure it is easier to launch the space shuttle than it was to get my little birdie into the car.
Regrets? I’m sure she had a few. First off, she’ll be [...]

As the person running a business that employs about 90 people (more in summer, less in winter), I’m constantly amazed at the type of people who work here.
I wish I could run psychological tests on job applicants, but there’s no way we could afford it. Besides, doing so would probably eliminate most of those in [...]

Late last night, I was rudely awakened out of a sound sleep by the noise of battering ram proportions. Bang! Bang! Bang! Even Maxx Attaxx jumped from the spot near my feet and ran to the front door.
By the time I got to the front landing, my daughter and her friend (who should just move [...]

I have re-read some of my posts, and in many of them I’m sure I appear to be a reasonable, level-headed woman of some intelligence. However, if you knew me in “real life” I’m sure that you, my dear audience, would be amazed at the fierceness with which I attack. I’m very opinionated, make no [...]

I’m thinking of this today because my daughter, Ms. Mini-D, is in big trouble. She, with her best friend, managed to pull the wool over the eyes of both sets of parents. The friend’s mother is completely livid with me and my husband for believing her daughter. I would like to believe my daughter, but [...]

Ms. Mini-Demonic thinks she is 17 going on 25. There are some days when I can see that in her; however, there are far more days when I see her as 17 going on 12. She is very comely; nice hourglass shape (which I’ve never had), long thick hair and long legs (also accoutrements that [...]
