I live in Texas. As anyone who lives in Texas can tell you, residents must own a truck and/or an SUV. After all, you might have to: drive your kids to soccer practice purchase multiple bags of groceries transport a load of goods from one place to another drive over a speed bump in your […]

Even So, I’ve Started My List
While The Boy was helping his office get moved yesterday, I accomplished most of my to-do’s, even starting my Christmas shopping list. Fortunately, I found that I’m not as behind as I thought I was! Still, this seems quite apropos, don’t you think?
I Feel UK-ish
I’m having UK flashbacks today – and that’s a very good (though bittersweet) thing. What the nostalgia, you might ask? Well… It’s overcast, drizzly and chilly. The furbabies (particularly the little girl) are lap-hungry. The Boy is at work today, helping his office move, so I’m home alone doing whatever (or nothing-ever, as the case […]
Dear Albertsons
I wonder who had the bright idea to put all of the back pain medication on the bottom shelf in the pharmacy?!?
I’m Unavailable
Driving home the other evening, my cell phone rang. I glanced at the call – it was work related, but I knew it wasn’t critical. And it was already 6 pm. I’m not taking that call, I told The Boy. It’s late and I’m unavailable. I know what you mean, The Boy said. I feel […]
What $1.2 Billion Will Buy You
We had an opportunity to tour the Dallas Cowboys new spaceship…ahem, stadium…the other day. If you watch professional football at all, you’ve seen the glowing House that Jerry Built. Surprisingly, when you drive up to the stadium, it doesn’t feel that big. I’m sure I would have a different opinion if I lived in one […]
It’s a Great Day – or at Least a Better Day
It doesn’t take much to be a better day than last Friday, when: 1. I had neglected to look at the mail stack for a few days…only to have The Boy discover a jury summons. (Fortunately, my day to appear is December 15th!) 2. I knew I took my building access card out of my […]
Friday Rant
Spotted on the drive home Thursday night: Can I just say what’s on my mind? It’s Not Even Halloween Yet!! I voiced this complaint to The Boy, who replied: I agree. I don’t want to be tired of Christmas decorations before December 1st rolls around. And anyway, I feel robbed. I want October to simply […]
Is This Defective?
I had two bags of marshmallows leftover after the big Hayley open house. Because one family only needs so many marshmallows (even if they do have a Niece living with them), I decided to take the extras back to the discount retailer where I’d bought them. I headed to guest services with my marshmallows (plus […]
This Is Our Life
The Hayleys have been ridiculously busy these past few weeks. In fact, I’d write more today but tonight is the Great Hayley Open House Party (woot!!) and I’m trying to tie up the last bits and pieces before the crowds (not joking) descend late this afternoon. So I leave you with this cartoon, which somehow […]
