Misheard Lyrics Quiz

February 27, 2009

I send this out to my department each Friday; we do it for the laughs over how song lyrics can be really misheard.  I thought maybe some other people would enjoy it.
The first section gives 10 songs with what people THOUGHT were the lyrics.  They’re different styles of music and different decades, so some will [...]

Mammograms – grinning through the wincing

February 25, 2009

I found a lump in my left breast a few weeks ago, and I’m having pain where they found the cyst.  So it was off for mammograms and ultrasounds.  I got the results and talked with my doctor.  I’m one of the lucky ones; my left side is clear and the right side is still [...]

In memory of Harriet Doolittle

February 22, 2009

I went to a memorial service today for a woman who was a major part of our animal shelter.  I didn’t know Harriet well; I mostly knew her from talking at meetings once a month at her house.  I loved that she said her last name, Doolittle, and her love of animals meant she had [...]

Congratulations to my husband for his theater award!

February 16, 2009

The Road Company theater group started an award ceremony this past Sunday night.  The award is named after the woman who founded the group and who did so much to create and maintain its quality of good, local theater.  John was nominated for Best Director of a Play.
I admit that I was skeptical and thought [...]

My brother lost his job – again.

February 15, 2009

He first lost it when in 2000 – 2001 when President Bush gave corporations all the tax breaks to go overseas.  My brother is a robotics engineer with decades of experience, but he and everyone else found themselves only able to get work at entry level jobs for years.  When he visited me and heard [...]

The Princess and The Pirate King, also on Flickr.
I wrote this children’s show years ago and it’s actually one of the first plays I ever wrote. The Woodbury Sketch Club Players asked me if they could perform it in March and the director made this logo. I love it! It’s fantastic!
I do cringe to think [...]

Morgan update

February 3, 2009

Sorry you’re probably tired of hearing all this.
Morgan…. I’m worried, maybe for no reason.  Her thyroid tests were clear, which was good news!  And she’s home and eating well.  She won’t drink water; the vet and I think she has an aversion now, because for almost 48 hours, when she drank water, she got sick.  [...]

Snuggies: you’ll never need anything else!

February 2, 2009

I bet standup comedians are staying away from this  because it’s like wondering what they charge at a dollar store: too easy.  But c’mon!
If you haven’t seen the commercial for Snuggies: the blankets with sleeves, then you’ve missed some chuckles.  It starts off okay: you’re chilly and you grab a blanket, because you have oil [...]
