Facing Off

January 13, 2012

Our city is bracing for a big, fat storm. I have two things to say about that. 1. There is no school on Friday OR Monday so I COULDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT THE WEATHER this weekend. 2. Since December, we’ve barely had any snow at all, so I suppose it’s about time for a biggun’. Meanwhile, I”ll [...]

American Idol – Top 8

April 13, 2011

Before we get started, I’ve got to get something off of my chest. In my humble opinion, the judges should be ashamed of themselves for the way they carried on last week over Pia. If, (and this is a big if), IF they truly believed that Pia was “the best in the competition” the jokers should [...]

American Idol – Top 11 Again

March 31, 2011

I am sitting on my big, blue bloggy couch live-blogging American Idol. My feet and legs are tired because I spent six hours today unloading, sorting, distributing, deciphering and loading cookie dough for a school fundraiser.

Letters To Crazy People

March 27, 2011

Disaster struck here at the McResidence on Saturday morning. The backlight went out on my new Dell laptop. To be clear, the laptop isn’t actually new, but its the newest computer in the house and barely more than a year old. McDaddy spent a good part of the weekend researching the source of the problem [...]

Captured By The Police

March 18, 2011

Now that I grabbed y’all’s attention with that post title, I suppose I should come up with something to talk about. I say that like I don’t have anything to talk about, but really, I have so many things to talk about, I can’t decide what to talk about. All I know is that there are at least eight [...]

American Idol Recap – Top 12

March 17, 2011

THIS is American Idol. It’s birth week, which means we are in for an eclectic mix of tunes. If I were singing on the show tonight, I’d be singing “Killing Me Softly” by Roberta Flack or “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder from my birth year – 1973. I’m embarrassed to admit that most of these “kids” could be my kids. Anyway, [...]
