It’s October 13th.  Last night I ate sausage and drank beer our of a stein. Why? IT’S OCTOBER DUMMIES !! Pretzels and apple strudel were also on the menu and this is the damn problem. At this rate we will all be up 6 pounds by Thanksgiving. Let’s face it, the leaves change in the […]

OK… so a lot of people have been checking in.  Typically they are checking in as I am pressing a drink to my lips or throwing some food in my belly WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE ?? The truth is … it’s been about 3 weeks and I have lost 2 1/2 pounds .. almost […]

I love the idea, really, I do !! Take your daughter to work day. It’s now take your kid to work day. I LOVE THIS IDEA. But, why does it have to be during the school year? Kids have alllllll summer off.  We can’t bring them in then?  I’d love to skip the cost of […]

5 Moms .. we had some drinks, some salad and it was time to pack it in.  At 9:15. On a Friday night. AND THEN 50 CENT CAME ON … Helloooooo Villanova College Bar – WE ARE HERE !!  We did not leave there until 11:45 !!  We danced like we were at a wedding. […]
