The last elementary school performance…

April 12, 2010 Ms. C2 Comments

Tonight was Cheyenne's last elementary music performance.  I had to darn near beg her to wear a skirt.  She insisted that she would be the only one wearing a skirt and I insisted she wouldn't.  Thankfully there were a handful of other girls who also wore skirts.  When Cheyenne realized that she was in the [...]

What people earn…the annual ritual.

April 11, 2010 Ms. C2 Comments

Today Parade magazine had it's annual listing of what folks doing different things around the country get paid.  I can't help but look at it even though I know it will result in me wishing and daydreaming about making 25 million a year like some of the movie stars and other high rollers they feel [...]

The best burger joint in America…

April 10, 2010 Ms. C1 Comment

Cheyenne and I went to the new Five Guys burger joint today with my daughter Sarah and her longtime boyfriend Dusty.  My son Noah went to Five Guys earlier in the week and told me the food was just like In-N-Out Burgers.  If you have ever lived or even visited someone in California you have [...]

I base this on my personal [...]

Saucy by definition?

April 7, 2010 Ms. C3 Comments

A few weeks back someone told me I was "saucy".  From the way it was delivered, I believe it was intended as a compliment.  I was not 100% sure exactly what "saucy" meant so I looked it up on the internet.  Here are some of the definitions I found: Impertinent: characterized by a lightly pert [...]

The key to staying young…

April 6, 2010 Ms. CLeave a comment

I saw a decorative plate the other day that said the following: "The key to staying young is accessorizing...or is that exercising?!" Shoot! I think I suffer from the same confusion/delusion as the sassy gal on the plate.  You mean to tell me that more scarves won't do it?  What about thick bangle bracelets or [...]
