Barbie Bonds Grandma and Grandson
1:47 PM
Over the past four months, my son and I have settled back in at my Mom's homestead almost completely. Other than a few differences between the pre-computer and computer-dependent generations and the usual gender differences, the one glaring canyon between my Mother and my Son has ...
Who's Gonna Run This Town?
9:30 PM
Every couple of months or so, I adopt a new "theme song" to help me either keep my concentration on my goals/work or to deal with whatever is going on in my life at the time. Everything from Akon's "Beautiful" to Nickelback's "Never Again" has had it's turn on my "repeat song" ...
Grandma Lane's Everyday Salsa
3:17 PM
Now, I know that everyone and their momma has a "special salsa recipe" and they all say their version is the definition of "all time best" or hottest. All I'm saying this is my family's daily salsa. =) We add this to veggie dishes (beans, rice), meat dishes and well, pretty ...

It Happened Again!
10:06 PM
Did you know that the "Hands of Time" like to keep things nice and tidy? Oh yes. No longer are they simply a scourge, withering our youth into gnarly, spindles of flesh. You see, that is a long-term project. What was a Hand to do while it punches the proverbial clock, day in and ...

The Importance of Backing Up Your Files
4:42 PM
Although there was a lot going on in my house last week, I was definitely feeling the pressure of looming deadlines and unexpected expenses. It truly seemed that although I knew I was distracted and frazzled, the only logical solution was to work through it. To challenge it and ...
Roosters Running at Warp Speed
9:35 AM
This morning, I woke up at five. However, my eyes were not cooperating. They had that sleep coating that won't let you open your peepers more than a tiny slit, just enough to squint at the clock before the cement blocks tighten their rope's hold the lids again. It felt like someone ...

3:30 PM
You know, it's funny. They always tell a woman to "just get out" but lemme tell you from personal experience, if you don't stick around and document, document, document, you will continue to be violated looooong after you've left. Here are three easy ways to protect yourself: 1. ...

Happy 4th of July!
11:05 PM
After our original 4th of July plans fell through, CJ and I did what I grew up doing in South Texas: drive around looking for the fireworks (especially if you didn’t have your own or ran out too soon ;). What we saw here on this side of Long Island may not have been as snazzy as ...
