Thanksgiving Dinner!

Okay, I got my rant out earlier, now I can move on. In spite of everything, I had a great time. If I could just foot the whole bill and/or cater it for the day, things would be just fine. But, I digress. Of course, since I did almost all the cooking, the food was [...]

New Family Wanted

Yes, dear readers, this is my rant for the month. I am so tired of my family’s antics. Most of them are so cheap. So, instead of running the risk of getting into a family feud with everyone picking sides, I will just do what I do best- blog about it. Wanted: New family members [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Eat your ham, turkey, greens, dressing, sweet potato pies, cakes, etc. Just remember to wear loose pants or pants or skirts with elastic waistbands.

Mission Impossible Assignment: #4 (Hold On!)

Dear readers, this post is totally not like the other Mission Impossible Assignment of Holding On. I was positive then. Right now, that is not the case. Yes, this theme is becoming redundant. I am in the dumps. I have been fighting it, but so far, it’s winning. It’s so bad, I don’t even want [...]

Wow! Some People Never Cease To Amaze Me!

Wow, dear readers, you are not going to believe this. I received an e-mail today saying there was a problem in regard to further employment with L.A.U.S.D., so I called and found out that my former principal blackballed me. It’s not really a surprise. She really was a piece of work, but I am pissed [...]

A Message So True!
