The kids had a day off school this week and were bored so I decided it was time to decorate for Halloween. I cut out big pumpkin shapes out of white paper and some scrap paper and magazines. Some of the paper were leftover bags from a Halloween party we had last year and the […]

But I feel badly for Jon and Kate, and their Plus 8. I know, I know. They ASKED to be on television. But with 8 kids and the offer of $75,000 an episode? I can’t say that I could refuse that.
And now the rumors of affairs and divorce are swirling and all I can think […]

You may ( or may not) have seen this in the news, but a crunchy vegetarian-type in Colorado was not allowed to get a vanity plate for her car expressing her love for Tofu. She wanted to tag to say I Love Tofu, but when expressed in shortened license-tag speak, it would read ILVTOFU. Say […]
