Anna, my best friend since I was twelve, has managed to trick me and our mutual friend Jodi into visiting her house on the day following Thanksgiving every year. My friend Gerry joined our group after we graduated high school. In other words, this was not a typical party. To be clear, we did not... Continue Reading →
I don't know who drew this. I couldn't find a source. If you know it, let me know so I can show out the brilliant person who created this monstrosity. My family and the family of my best friend are both Italian, and we hold fast to our traditions. Some traditions are universal, such as... Continue Reading →
Holy cow. It's December. How? Didn't the kids just go back to school? What the hell? I'm still writing my resolutions for 2022. Oh well. Since it's Decmeber 1st that means it's time for Whamageddon and Mariahlation. That's right, kids. We're doubling down on this. And you might be asking what Mariahlation is. Literally the...

Let me offer you a few gift ideas for book lovers if you have a bookish person in your life.
We're getting close to it's almost too late. And it was brought to my attention that not everyone wants books or book themed gifts. I told my husband that I understood those words but not in that order.

But bills and gifts have your memory making money all tied up right now. No fear. I have some ideas. Twenty four to be precise.
Back in October, I introduced everyone to Thrillpocalypse. A fun take on Whamageddon. Wait. What? You don't know what Whamageddon is? Hold my coffee. I'm going introduce you to Whamageddon and it's new eviler cousin.
