confessions of a harried grocery shopper

(Not to be confused with a hairy grocery shopper, ’cause hey, I shaved my legs today.)
Does it make me a bad person if I say that sometimes, when I’m at the grocery store, and I happen upon shoppers who are either practicing for their own funeral processions or who park their overloaded baskets in the [...]

caramel macchiatos & c.s. lewis

I’m supposed to be working, but instead I’m still savoring my iced caramel macchiato.

for it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out…

It’s official: I’ve got baseball/softball on the brain.
I know I’ve talked about before how I don’t consider myself a sports fanatic — and I still don’t. I mean, I don’t plan my schedule around games and stuff, but if I’m home, I’ll certainly watch.
This is the best time of year because it’s conference championships and [...]

my apologies…

…to any of the male persuasion who might wander across this amusing little gem.
My friend emailed me this forward someone had sent her. Normally I don’t pass these things along, but this made me laugh so hard that I just couldn’t resist posting this.
AN OPEN LETTER TO MR. JAMES THATCHER, BRAND MANAGER, PROCTER & GAMBLE.
Dear [...]
