• Do I Really Want My Readers To Know This?,  Fun in Chicago,  My Sister Has Mad Skillz,  Too Funny To Ignore

    There Are Many Ways To Define Love; As It Turns Out, Way More Than I Knew About.

    Just a quick post for you Saturday blog readers; I’m attempting to get my kitchen totally spotless today (Imagine that!), INCLUDING getting the kitchen desk cleared of the clutter. I’ll let you know if I’m successful; keep your fingers crossed for me. (I also realize that I haven’t commented back to you all on the last four or so posts: Busy week! I’m getting to it, hopefully this weekend if you want to keep checking back!) We’re also having Julesie join us for dinner and a Fab Five Game Night. Good times! Anyway, you may remember this post about my total sadness and anger about the Sears Tower being known…

    Whatchu Talkin’ Bout, Willis? No, REALLY. Whatchu Talkin’ Bout???

    I am NOT happy. Not happy at all. Yesterday, I was innocently checking on Twitter when I got terrible news. The Sears Tower, one of Chicago’s most famous icons/attractions/sources of pride, will be renamed this summer. Are you KIDDING me? Chicagoans, say it with me: “NOT AGAIN!!!!” Call me dramatic (it wouldn’t be the first time), but as a native here I feel violated. Again.

I don’t give a rat’s patootie that the naming rights were up for grabs over the past…

She is single.2. She is in her early 30s.3. She already had six children, between the ages of 2 and 7. 4. She allegedly filed for bankruptcy two years ago.5. She lives with her mother.6. According to her mother, she has been “obsessed” with having children since she was a teenager.7. All fourteen children were conceived…

    “Going Green” Is One Thing, But This Is Ridiculous.

    I nearly forgot all about the fact that I wanted to post about this, and since I’m sitting here and it came to mind I thought I’d better just do it really quickly. First, I have to give my apologies to the gentlemen who read my blog: Nukedad, Tom, OhCaptain, Jim, and any others out there…gosh, I’m sorry about this. It won’t happen again anytime soon, I promise. You might just want to hop over to Momo’s or Mrs4444’s or *anybody else’s* place right now. Consider yourselves warned. I was flipping through my February issue of Redbook magazine a couple of days ago when I saw a little picture at…
