Flip Flip Baby!



I'm all about reality TV and all about the pop culture, so I was ecstatic to see AP tweet this beaut. Yes, that's right. Vanilla Ice is a flipper with his own show The Vanilla Ice Project on the DIY Network. Course he ain't no Gable Painter - who will always have my heart - but it should be a good watch. He does like to collaborate and listen.

Canuck Disclaimer: As so often happens with great television, it would appear this gem is currently only broadcasting in the US. Sigh.

Postcards From Pop

My Dad travelled a lot when I was a kid and one thing he always did was send a postcard from wherever he was. It didn't matter whether he was just a town over or across the globe, gone for six weeks or away for day, he always sent a postcard. Course I was totally meh about them as a kid - I was way more interested in the presents he trundled home - but now when I look back I can feel the love and know that wherever he was, he was thinking of us girls. Total cheese, but also totally true. So happy he wrote them and so happy I kept them. Thanks, Pops - happy birthday and I love you! And, yes, I was always a good girl and helped Mommy.




Why My Cat Is Ungrateful

This is an ongoing tally of reasons why my cat is ungrateful.


  1. He steals my spot in bed.

  2. His response to displays of affection is to scratch my face.

  3. He thinks every time I open the fridge it's for him.

  4. He chews my New Yorkers.

  5. He steals my emory boards.
