You Can Never Be Too Careful...

Writing that post earlier tonight about my police officer husband and his love for buying gadgets for his work put me in an oddly sentimental mood. I've spent the last half hour or so remembering how I first met my husband (online!) and what it was ...

The Cat Who...

Isn't my "Cat Who" cute? Say hi, Frankie!



When I got this kitty 6 years ago, it was definitely "At First Sight"!

Calling All Officers!

Police officers, that is - not to slight military officers, but this post is meant for our men (and women!) with badges, not BDUs!

Ya'll know that my husband is a state police officer...but what you probably wouldn't know about him is that he can ...

American Idol

Ok, so I just have to say this...

Does anyone else not care about American Idol as much as I don't care about American Idol? Supposedly, someone won tonight. Freaking yay. Half the blogs on my Reader are gushing over it. As if I care.

And as for Linkies...

Yes, the linkies are coming back!

I'm realizing that it's much harder to return visits when I simply have people comment instead of leaving a Linkie AND commenting.

WHY is it so much harder, you ask? Well, quite simply, a lot of people have more ...

Stop Calling Me - Part 2!

Thanks for keeping me honest, Gabriel!

Gabriel checked out the web site I wrote about last night when I was venting my frustrations about the many phone calls my household receives that are just plain not meant for us. He thought the link was ...

Stop Calling Me!

We bought and moved into our house 13+ months ago, and along with that move came a new home phone number.

Ever since we've had our phone number, it's been a hassle and a half. For the first 6 or 7 months, 1 out of every 3 calls was meant for the ...

I'm a Big Baby!

Almost a year ago, my husband got Lasik surgery done on his eyes.

This was a tremendous deal for him. The man is more skittish about having people near his eyes than I can even describe.

Oh, but let me try!

He had an eye infection a few months ...

Got Pics?

Ok. Tell the truth. Have any of you ever fantasized about being discovered and becoming famous? It's truth time, now!

Me? Eh. I'd not mind being well-known, but I hate people looking at me! I prefer to be the one behind the camera instead of in ...

Saudis Flake Out

(Post Transferred from my formerly stand-alone blog, Tiffany Takes On.)

Defeated by Technology

A few months ago, I blogged that I'd found this neat article in the blogosphere that centered around a store I worked in on the Jersey Shore back during the summers of 1998 and 1999.

It turns out that the writer of that original blog about Cloud 9, ...

How long did you date? We dated for 6 months before we got engaged, and then ...

Friday Fill In # 1

It's been awhile since I've tried something new, so this week I headed over to the Friday Fill In meme, hosted by my bloggy buddy Janet.

This is a pretty easy meme - you're fed a few prompts, and then you fill in your own responses. I think this ...

Taking On Sexist Parenting

(Post Transferred from my formerly stand-alone blog, Tiffany Takes On.)
I recently read an article that said that "working moms are still more likely to do household chores and childcare." America, aren't we beyond that, yet? I mean, seriously. My ...

Your Thoughts - Reality TV?

How do you feel about Reality TV, dear readers?

Are you like me? If so, you probably have a love/hate relationship with the dearth of reality shows that have hit the tube over the past decade.

I hearken fondly back to the days of Real World and ...
