Does anyone else have an irrational hatred of commercials? Or is it just me? The other night I was once again doing battle with my arch-nemesis, insomnia. Often when I am in the throes of this battle, I find myself wondering what would help me fall asleep faster. Option A is to go downstairs and
It’s hard to believe it, but we’re only a few weeks away from Halloween. Which means it’s time for me to once again try to answer these difficult questions: What costume should I wear? Once I select a costume, what will I even do with it, because we don’t get invited to Halloween parties. How
Earlier this week The Husband and I were at the grocery store. We were standing in the produce section, debating what onion would be considered Ridiculously Huge enough for the recipes on this week’s menu — we eat A LOT of onion in our household — when suddenly I heard it. “That’s a great song,”

The other day I realized I needed to rethink my car priorities. My current ride, Mrs. Roboto, is a 2008 Toyota Corrolla. I like my car. I especially like the fact that it has been paid off for years. Not having a car payment is wonderful. But my car is pretty lacking by today’s technology
You might have heard that writers sometimes have epiphanies at inconvenient times. The purpose of today’s blog post is to tell you that’s absolutely true. Recently I had such a moment. It came at 3 AM because my brain loves to torture me when I’m supposed to be sleeping. And then it wasn’t even a
I would like to apologize in advance if I accidentally flash you. (Yes, I will explain that opening line. Bear with me.) It’s that time of year again. What time of year, you ask? It’s that time when I enter into The Denial Period. The Denial Period starts in August and usually runs into early
