… because cooking is hard. It’s a minor miracle I haven’t died of scurvy or malnutrition yet. If I ever get re-married I need to find one of those patient and understanding types of men to say soothing and comforting things to me … I burned a roast in the crock pot. I’m actually amazed at my own culinary ineptitude. How can you burn anything in a crock pot? A crock pot is almost magical – insert meat, switch on,... Read more
… take this bit of news off the wire; Liberal Ladies Out To Lunch go on a seven day sex strike. Merciful heavens! No fornication for SEVEN whole days?! It boggles the mind and shrivels the ovaries. Some how I think our nation’s men will manage. Glaring irony missed in their precious attempts at political activism; exploiting their own vaginas as a bargaining tool to gain a desired result, and demand I keep my rosaries off their ovaries but pay...

… Not too long ago I had a client in my office. She was accompanied by her bubbly little six year old daughter in curly pig-tails. Adorable little thing really. This little cherub was going through a stack of decorating magazine I keep at my desk and she excitedly thrust the magazine in her mom’s face declaring, “Look mommy! It’s Nicki Minaj!

… Oh, I remember. That I was right in supporting Fr. Marcel Guarnizo’s decision to deny the lesbian Buddhist “devout Catholic” communion at her mother’s funeral. I accurately called this nothing more than a blatant publicity stunt to try and paint the Church as evil gay haters. Turns out Barbara Johnson is an activist who shamelessly used her mother’s funeral to promote her agenda. Nope. Didn’t see that one coming. Will the media retract it’s original story or at least...

… First let us recognize the symptoms before suggesting treatment. Symptoms include adopting a fake British accent, responding to all requests with “I forbid it!” and referring to others as “common”, intense eyebrow furrowing, use of a cane [more severe cases my actually adopt a limp], obsessively ringing bells and becoming frustrated or confused when no one comes calling, and abandoning housekeeping insisting nonexistent servants will get it. You should seek a physician if these symptoms persist and interfere with... Read more
… When you become a mother your world is opened up to children not just your own. You become friends with other mothers. Your child will have friends and participate in extracurricular activities involving other children. In short, you may find yourself surrounded by a bunch of children you did not give birth to. This is perfectly normal, please do not panic. Wiser women before have paved a path that will ensure your survival and help maintain your sanity. One... Read more
