I don’t normally post this close together, but this couldn’t wait. Some of you know that I work on Carl and Pam’s Sims 3 Forum. For those of you who don’t know that, well… now you do. One of my duties is to maintain our Facebook page. I was looking at some statistics tonight and [...]
At my house, there’s a ready-to-use roll of toilet paper conveniently hanging next to every toilet. The extra rolls in the package are stored in a cabinet under the sink, out of sight. It has truly never entered my mind that my toilet paper needs to have more flair and add to the decor. Not [...]
The State Fair of Texas is known for its ridiculous food. Once upon a time, many years ago, the food was good and special. A turkey leg, for example. And funnel cakes. But now, man oh man, it’s complete madness on a stick. And fried! I found this article that’s giving us the round up [...]
Some things just make me shake my head in disbelief. It’s not enough that people get facelifts and breast implants at the drop of a hat. Now there’s abdominal etching. No, really? Srsly? Yeah, men can have some specialized liposuction to carve out the likeness of an abdominal sixpack. Normally, guys who have abs like [...]
1980 is the hottest year on record for my area. It got over 100 degrees for 42 days in a row and we hit a record official high temperature of 113 degrees that summer. For me, it was the year I got married for the first time. And, yes, I was dressing in a big, [...]
I don’t remember the last time we had rain. Whenever it was, it wasn’t much. And it wasn’t much before that, either. The map I just looked at said that the entire state of Texas is in extreme drought conditions. On the drive to my sister’s house today, I was shocked to see how brown [...]
I’ve got a non-believer. “Obviously, it’s not really 140°.” Oh…. yes indeed it is. Don’t underestimate Texas summers.
It is SO HOT!! One of the signs around town said 108 degrees (F) today. But that doesn’t express how hot it really is. It is so hot that my favorite Mexican food restaurant put pot holders on the handles of the front doors. Pot holders! So we don’t fry our hands while trying to [...]
After treating ourselves to a second viewing of Harry Potter, Hubby and I stopped at the mall (kill me now) so we could take my engagement ring to Helzberg Diamonds for a checkup. The prongs are all fine and the diamond is in great shape. They gave it a nice steam cleaning and showed me [...]
Sometimes I’m just dumbfounded at how our world has changed. A lot of my medical business takes place in Irving, which is about 30 miles away. So, I like to have lunch at Crystal’s Pizza after I’m done at the medical building. It’s right across the street and it’s a decent buffet. I take a [...]
