Sarcastic Much?

Do you have times when, even though you know you should restrain it, that nasty retort somehow works its way out of your mouth anyway?  I’ve noticed that as I’ve gotten older, I’m much more tempted to just “tell it like it is” and let the chips fall where they may.  If you find yourself [...]

No Business Like Snow Business

Okay, I know I’ve been doing a lot of whining about the relentless snow (with good reason,) and I’ll admit it has been getting to me.  So, I decided that if life gives you lemons, make lemonade…right?  Consequently, I searched the web for some funny and/or creative snowmen to cheer me up and found a [...]

Bits And Pieces #13

Ah, so many little bits and pieces of stuff have been floating around in my brain!  It’s funny how the news is really no longer truly “new,” if you know what I mean.  Every day I turn on television and just know that there will be another revelation about Tiger Woods.  And also at this [...]
