I am no longer just knitter extraordinaire.
I am now Baking Goddess.
Julia Child, step aside.
For Joe’s Grandpop’s birthday, we were assigned the task of recreating in sugary confection form, Dale Earnhart Jr’s car.
No problem, I am Picasso with frosting.
First, we began with the pan – for $50, you too can create a perfect Dale car, complete [...]

Not since Gone With The Wind, when Melanie spies her husband, Ashley Wilkes, a tiny, limping figure emerging on a path, returning world-weary from the war, and makes a tearful, mad dash, arms open wide, running across the open fields of Tara to welcome him home, has there been such an emotional, heart-wrenching reunion [...]

I’ve been walking around slightly irritated for two days now.
Is it the 19% proposed increase in my property taxes? No.
That I bought 10 random Powerball tickets yesterday, and three of them had 29 as the Powerball? Slight annoyance, but eh, whatever.
Constipation? No, all is fine down there, thanks.
No, I’ve been stewing.
WTF is Steve Wozniak still [...]

My road to legal fame and fortune began when I was fifteen years old (although some may say it began in the womb, as I emerged stubborn and argumentative). My mom worked at a now defunct personal injury law firm as a legal secretary. In my mom’s day, being a legal secretary meant, “I could be the [...]

As I mentioned in my last post, I’ve been having grandiose visions of where this blog can go – this puppy is not on a leash!
Unfortunately, I’ve let my “visions” run away with me (no, not to the extent that I need some pyschotropic medication – when I start hearing voices, THEN I’ll worry), and [...]

I really hate March. That whole thing – “March comes in like a lion” – garbage. If March were king of the forest, it would show its leadership and nobility by being consistent, trustworthy, and reliable, and the weather would reflect the lion. To umbrella, or not to umbrella? Rain today, sun yesterday, what tomorrow? [...]

For anyone who has read the “About” section of this site, you will know that AFTER I cleverly named the blog Lemontines, I googled “lemontine” for “shits” and giggles, and found a rather, nasty definition of “Lemontine” in the Urban Dictionary (Ok, I won’t make you click on the link – it means “crap stains in one’s [...]

Have you noticed the Widget thingy on my sidebar – I am “on page 0 of 576 pages” of The Book Thief. I’m not actually on page 0, but I have no idea what page I am on.
The beauty of the Kindle.
Beauty? Not knowing what page you’re on? Absolutely. Reading is no longer a race [...]

When Joe and I first started dating, he laid down the law – I can’t continue to date you if you remain this messy. I took a good hard look at my home – clothes scattered on the floor, dishes in the sink, dust an inch thick on the woodwork, I could go on and [...]

So, remember I referred to Joey’s science project debacle a few posts ago?
Apparently, it wasn’t such a debacle.
He got an A.
I’m still scratching my head.
Let’s go back, see what you think. Joey was given his 5th grade science project assignment before Thanksgiving. Sometime before Christmas, he had his project approved, and his main bullet points [...]
