About Me
"Mom, you're on crack," my kids' favorite response to my valuable comments." I like to think of myself as the grandma humorist of the 21st Century. At best, I'm Erma Bombeck on crack.
I've been telling people what to do for years. And for the same number of years, they've been ignoring me. What better way to continue the tradition than to start blogging!
I hope you enjoy my funny... working its way up to hilarious... blog.
Please leave COMMENTS. I love to know you enjoy the posts. Some days your comments make my whole day. I'm of the age when that might be as good as it gets!

Too much time on my hands
If you think working 100+ hours a week, coupled with the fact that the grandkids are out of town on their annual snow trip to Big Bear, won’t leave me with any time to get in trouble, think again. With … Continue reading

A journey of two years
The Mouse turned two today. Not long ago I cradled him in my arms (shortly after midnight). He still doesn’t say much, but in his two short years he’s taken a lot in. He’s learned how to change the channel … Continue reading

Someday it will be hilarious

Buttons and bangles
Maybe I’m a wee bit grumpy lately. I’m worn out and impatient. And you’re asking how that’s changed since childbirth. Probably not much. I’m doing all sorts of novel things lately – learning about Quick Parts, RibbonXML, customXMLparts – things … Continue reading

Will you still love me?
The Beatles once asked, Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m sixty four so it’s not so absurd that I now ask the same question. And the answer is a resounding YES! From a luncheon with … Continue reading

I have been a very bad girl
I ate ice cream for breakfast, donut(s) at work on Monday, chips for lunch (and dinner), and it got worse. You are probably thinking I’m eating crazy because of all the long hours I am putting in at work. Actually, … Continue reading
Bladder buddies
“We’ve got to stop meeting like this,” I said to Lisa. We’d run into each other several times lately at the stalls. She’s expecting a baby; I’m old. That’s probably all the information you need. “You take the large stall,” … Continue reading
Everything I need
“Everything I need I have right here in front of me.” That’s what I learned from The Muppets movie this weekend. Actually with my two older grandkids at my side, and the youngest one, the Mouse, on my lap, I already … Continue reading

Wild hairs
If you’re thinking I’m writing this post about cute little bunnies , think again. I’m getting old. More parts come out at night than stay in. I’m like a car on its last leg. I’ve got leaks, and the only … Continue reading

Short(er) hair club
After I got my hair cut short a couple of weeks ago, one of my friends at work cut hers. “You inspired me,” she said. “Makes you look ten years younger,” I said. “That’s what some old geezer told me.” “Thanks,” I … Continue reading
