Kitchen Remodeling, Not so Exciting…… Posted on February 15, 2010.
While Karen helps out at a friend’s business during Valentine’s week, Zoey the cat is writing this week’s column and gives her opinion on the ongoing kitchen remodel.
I know this will come as quite a shock to many of you that this missive is grammatically correct and free of spelling errors. Cats have been mocked [...]
Kitchen Remodeling Blues Posted on February 8, 2010.
We are in the middle of a kitchen remodel. When I began pitching this idea to Dear Husband some months ago, he reluctantly agreed,with one stipulation. We would not eat out during the renovation. I love a good challenge, I’m pretty competent in the kitchen and we have a microwave. How hard could it be? [...]
Gentlemen, This is for You. Posted on February 1, 2010.
Gentlemen, this is for you. We being of the so-called fairer sex, while we admire your broad shoulders and spider killing abilities, feel there are some things you are blithely unaware of.
I was profoundly reminded of this last week when Dear Husband attempted a home improvement job. I came home to devastation usually prefaced with [...]
My Diet Update Posted on January 25, 2010.
Since my article a few weeks ago about my desire to lose weight, I have had several people inquire how my quest is going and three who have offered to chase me in their cars. (this will only make sense if you read said article, so give me some job security and ask Shawn or [...]
Why is it…… Posted on January 18, 2010.
Ever wonder why it is when your hair looks its absolute worst, the stylist says it will be six weeks before they can squeeze you in? Ever wonder why on the day of your appointment your hairs looks the best it has in six weeks? My beautician is a magician. She can take dull, thinning, [...]
My Apologies to My Editors for This Article Posted on January 11, 2010.
My apologies to my editors for this article, but I figure they can’t be too picky, after all they have someone writing a weekly column about KU. But I will warn any male readers, you may want to turn away now.
One of my friends found out she must have a hysterectomy and I found myself [...]
No Need to Check the Calendar Posted on January 4, 2010.
No need to check the calendar. I know it is close to the New Year because I’m being capsized by a deluge of commercials touting every weight loss scheme known to man. If I see Marie Osmond one more time, I’m going to reach through the television screen and punch her in her giant teeth. [...]
When the Weather Outside Turns Frightful Posted on December 28, 2009.
When the weather outside turns frightful, I adore snuggling into my pajamas with a good read and head to bed. I seem to be doing that a lot lately, which gives me pause to ponder pajamas.
I have a penchant for pajamas, particularly the cozy flannel kind. But what is the deal with pockets in pj’s? [...]
Falala Faux Pas Don Posted on December 21, 2009.
Don’t you just love driving around Anthony at Christmastime, taking in the splendid holiday lights and those giant whimsical inflatables bobbing about in the cold? Years ago, my family began a tradition of checking out the lights and voting on a favorite. We would send a $5 gift certificate to the winners, announcing them the [...]
I am an Animal Lover Posted on December 14, 2009.
I am an animal lover. Many people believe the reason my husband and I do not live on the family farm is because of me. And they are correct. The reason we do not live on the farm (aside from the fact my in-laws have no desire to move and I don’t want to do [...]
