Dirty Banana Pants

Okay, so I’ve not said much lately, but I’m working on that.  I’m working a job right now that is decent.  And by decent, I mean I get a paycheck.  I’m not finding the cure for cancer, although that would be cool, but I’m writing stuff and making pretty presentations.  I had a job a few […]

My coworker was surfing the Internet today to find a book for his wife’s birthday.  During his quest, he came across the book: The Excellent 11: A Teacher’s Guide To Raising Children Who Love to Learn by Ron Clark.  I’m not a school teacher, nor do I intend to play one on tv, but I was […]

So I don’t blog anything for awhile and tonight I have two bonus posts…how lucky are YOU?
As part of the whole “proud to be an Oklahoman” theme, I was driving to work the other day and noticed an extremely inane bumper sticker.  Remember the, oh-so-clever W ‘04 stickers back when idiot boy was running for […]

I have been in a bit of a funk lately and have been trying to shake it.  I’m sure it will eventually wear off, but for now, I’m all funked up.  As I was thinking about why I am in my funk, I started thinking of my first trek back into Oklahoma, and by GOD, […]

It’s birthday season in our house and all is BROKE.  My birthday was a few weeks ago…and guess what I got?  Guess….guess…no, that’s not it, try again….give up?  The Flu…..  Word to your Mother.  Stewy made arrangements for a very fancy schmancy hotel suite in downtown OKC…woo hoo, dinner, the works.  It was all I […]

Live Science has a list of the most literate cities in the nation.  They mention the top 10 cities and even gave honorable mentions to those that didn’t make the top 10.  Oklahoma City, although I have no idea where we ranked, we did not make the top 10, nor did we receive an honorable mention.
However, […]

Stew exchanged our old dilapidated cable boxes for spiffier new ones.  One of them even has a DVR on it.  By God, if we aren’t on the cutting edge of technology.  I haven’t really messed with the DVR until last night and I had an epiphany.  All of the crap shows that I LOVE, I […]

So, I’ve taken a bit of a sabbatical…although, I haven’t really gone anywhere, nor can I say that I’ve learned anything new.  But it’s a fancy word, and if anyone asks why I haven’t posted in awhile, I’ll just give them that answer.
I have a few friends going through a very similar situation.  Both married […]

I read an article yesterday that the Santa Clauses in Sydney, Australia were instructed to say “Ha ha ha” rather than the traditional “Ho ho ho” for fear that they would offend women.  The last time I checked, they were to interact with the children…not the women. 
But the most ridiculous article I saw was about […]

So, yesterday, I put the kids down for a nap and sat on the couch like a lump, flipping channels.  I came across the movie Memoirs of a Geisha.  Good movie, although, it took me about an hour after the movie was over to realize it was SICK.  Basically, this kid’s mom gets sick so […]
