Two Musketeers And An Annoying Sister
You know, it wasn’t always easy growing up as the youngest, and only girl in the family. My brother CJ is 8 years older than me, and my brother Barry is 5 years older. They called me Brat for so … Continue reading
The Great Cookie Catastrophe of 2013
What a wonderful time of the year. I’m still gnawing on stale Day-After- Valentine’s candy, Cadbury Crème Eggs have already hit the shelves, and Girl Scout cookie season is in full force. On my personal food pyramid, Thin Mints are … Continue reading
Cousin Dan: Stupid People Tricks
As I documented in my January 3 posting, Uncle Cousin and Aunt Neurotic, Dan has a split personality. Not just getting in touch with his inner child, but acting like his inner child; he has delighted kids and terrified adults for … Continue reading

Kids: Don’t Try This At Home
Before we got to eat bagel and lox on Sundays, we had to go to Sunday school. Given my choice between medieval torture and Sunday school…I’m really not certain what I would choose. The whole thing was just a nightmare. … Continue reading
A Fish By Any Other Name
Everyone who knows me knows that I am an extremely picky eater. I hate onions. I don’t eat stuff that has bits of things because who knows what’s in there. I don’t like any kind of Asian food whatsoever. All … Continue reading
Planet Of The Dogs
Don’t ask me why, but I found myself lured in to the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show last night. The whole thing is obscene, but I won’t turn this post into a rant about breeding. Don’t worry, I will definitely … Continue reading
