Read in the Bathtub Day OK, so I can't recommend this one if you use an e-reader, but for those of you who are a Luddite like me and read actual books made of paper, go for it! I think it sounds like a much better plan than my origin... Continued
I Love My Doctor Well, he's actually my surgeon, but that man is easily my most favourite person on Earth just now. Odd, isn't it? The man who is going to be cutting me open and removing parts I was born with in less than a m... Continued
Laugh and Get Rich Day I have made a valiant attempt thus far to laugh as much as possible in hopes that it'll work. I suppose it's probably not immediate, but it can't hurt to try, right? Sure would be neat if it were really that ... Continued
Dump Your “Significant Jerk” Week I jumped the gun on this one and got rid of mine a few months ago, but what the heck. It's actually a pretty good idea...we're coming up on Valentine's Day, and if you're saddled with someone who really just n... Continued
I’m Doomed. Doomed, I Tell You! Holy (insert appropriate expletive here)! I received my hospital bill today. The total is approximately four times what I make in a year, due February 19. If I am not mistaken, that is nine days from now. I... Continued

We’re Holding Our Own Who knows what later on may bring, but the wind has noticeably picked up over the last 15 or so minutes. The dog started whining to go out, but when we opened the door he looked at us as if we'd lost our minds... Continued
Storm of the Century I'm visiting my niece on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan right now, and boy is there a storm heading our way in about three hours. The snow part started about four hours ago (we've already gotten almost a f... Continued
Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day Heaven on Earth is: Finding an unpopped sheet of bubble wrap. Or, in the words of Jimmy Buffett, "Therapy is extremely expensive. Popping bubble wrap is radically cheap." The funny thing is, I got a package... Continued
Inane Answering Machine Message Day I swear, I do NOT make these up. I was not in charge of my outgoing message, although I was in charge of recording it, so ours is about as inane as you can get. I have heard some pretty good ones, though. We... Continued
Curmudgeon’s Day Where is my grandmother when I need her!? We all know one, and they don't have to be old. You know the ones...those people who seem like they're just being mean and negative until you realize there is just th... Continued
