Drinking games
Wow. Good old mom. Has she ever changed. Yesterday, I was standing in the grocery line, waiting. The woman in front of me clearly knew the checker. I couldn’t help but overhear this inspiring tidbit. Mom: Yeah, … Continue reading →

Another Get Rich Quick Scheme Down the Toilet
Ohmigosh, Wendy! Last night I had a dream that J. Lilly, President of Pillsbury wrote us a letter. It was so terrifying! So real! I woke up in a sweat (could have been a hot flash) and scribbled down what I … Continue reading →

Call 911. I’m sure I just heard something pop. I think it was my spine. I swear I can’t feel my legs. Woman on machine next to me asks if I need defibrillator paddles.
