Who eats this stuff?? Every year, millions of eggs all over the world are hard-boiled and dipped in dye, just so that they can be hidden under bushes and trees or in closets and under chairs for eager little children to gather up on Easter morning. Have you ever wondered what happens to all of…

Love Me Tender…
As I was half-sitting, half-lying in my chaise, propped up on a bazillion (oh, all right six) pillows, not-quite-sleeping at 3:48 this morning, my befuddled brain was sifting through a highly entertaining slide show of memories, images, scenes that have no bearing on my real life and the dreaded list of tasks-to-do-that-there-is-not-enough-time-to-do. For no reason,…
Are you a Bilbo Baggins?
Sometime during the fifth watching of The Hobbit since the DVD arrived….Don’t judge me…I stopped imagining myself as a warrior dwarf and marveled at the quiet hero, Bilbo Baggins and wondered which one I truly am? Am I a Bilbo? Do I sit comfortably in my life, then wander aimlessly around my empty house,…
It’s A Mambo Kind of Monday
Who says Mondays have to be boring, avoided, dreaded? Dance like no one is watching. Sing like you know all the words. What makes you get up and dance? Boogie in the driver’s seat? Tap your foot on the bus? Walk to the beat in your head?
“Drive It Like You Stole It”
This was the advice from the aforementioned Youngest Fruit aka Coach Ratchet. Just the two of us in the car yesterday, I wondered aloud if I should find a different evening dress for an annual charitable event. (The new dress for 2013 arrived WAY TOO BIG and I have to decide to alter, or sell…
…The Hell did you just say???
I suppose it’s a testament to my eternal hope for humanity that I’m still left gobsmacked at the things people say and type for all the world see. There I was perusing an innocent facebook Q&A of Devil Wear…excuse me Spanx, and the words “pee hole” LEAP from my screen, pierce my eyeballs and burrow…
1 2 3 There’s a fish in the tree.
Look at me. Look at me. Said the fishy swimming free. Look at me. Look at me. Said the kitty in the tree. You have fur. You can climb! Said the fishy with a sigh. You have fins and rainbow scales. Said the kitty with a…. Yeah I got nothing. And thus ends today’s lesson….
These are thoughts and aspirations that I wish we’d thought of, but we’re smart enough to share them here at SS&S. The Belle Jar is a wonderful blog — you should check it out! What do YOU think? What are some other useful assumptions we should make?
My Night with Bradley Cooper Beyond the Pines…
…well it wasn’t just mine. Two hundred of my nearest and dearest came too. Oh all right, it was a Q & A following a movie screening. But I was in the front row so it still counts. I had a pass to see a sneak preview of the new film from director Derek Cianfrance…
Back to the Future…
Planning college visits for my son over Spring Break I can’t help but recall my senior year. Tease your hair, break out the acid washed jeans and electric blue eye shadow…or just dance and sing along in your jammies – that’s what I’m doing! What songs take you back?
