Life Really Boils Down to 2 Questions.

This is from my series called “Crazy Uncle Don’s Gut Busting Humor”.  We all have one.  A crazy relative who sends us funny emails because he doesn’t have anything better to do.   Sorry, Uncle Don.  But sometimes I wonder.  I’m just saying… Anyway.   Life really boils down to 2 Questions: 1.   Should I get a [...]

What Price Do You Pay For Learned Helplessness?

Around my house, I often hear things like this…  “Mom, I can’t find my tennis shoes.”  “You can’t or you don’t want too?”  I reply.  Even if you don’t know my kid, you know the answer to this question.   He didn’t want to.  For the record, this is a kid who can upgrade his computer [...]

A Conversation with God–The Senseless Slaughter by Jared Loughner is Tough to Reconcile.

Hello God, I was admittedly a little distracted in church today.  What’s up with the standing room only, lately?  Was there a recent population boom?  Or, are the enormous crowds merely a sign that during hard times, more of us are seeking divine intervention?  Anyway, I am grateful for this opportunity for a little one [...]

Colonoscopy Journal: From Uncle Don’s Hillarious Gut Busting Humor Series.

You may have read a recent post of mine called A Preview of Things to Come, in which I elude to an upcoming article on “the high colonic”.   In an effort to grease the skids, I thought I would share an article written by Dave Barry, a Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist for the Miami Herald. Granted, [...]

A Preview of Things to Come

I am jumping for joy, doing a little victory dance.  I survived Halloween! Only one Reese’s Peanut Butter cup so far.   The surprising thing is that I didn’t even want it.  I ate it more out of habit than I did for a true desire for chocolate covered peanut butter. How did I survive with [...]

Think You Have Problems? This is What I am up Against, People!

I was helping my dad and my daughter make lemon meringue pie recently and I had a shocking revelation. Here I am, leading a charge to “get healthy.”   I am fired up, working on my goals, refining my strategies, and trying to set myself up to succeed.  I should feel empowered, but instead, I feel completely [...]

What does Kim Kardashian Have in Common With Chile Miner 33? Maybe Only the Number 69 and a Few Cans of Tuna

The headlines this week are generating almost equal interest between Kim Kardashian’s recent “bare all” photo shoot for W magazine, and the inspiring rescue of the 33 Chile Miners.   So I started wondering if they have anything in common besides the number 69 and a diet of tuna.  It was a dead end.  The only [...]

Be Careful When Passing Gas–Crazy Uncle Don’s Gut Busting Humor Series

I was in Starbucks yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately needed to pass gas. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my gas with the beat of the music. After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished my coffee, and noticed that everybody was staring at me…. Then I suddenly remembered that I was [...]

Kid’s Say the Darndest Things Like “Mom, I Am Ready to Release My Album on iTunes.”

I often find myself engaged in conversations like this with my son.  Him:  “Mom, I need to you approve this account for me so I can release my album on iTunes!” Me:  “What account?  What album?  What are you talking about, now?” (Spoken with motherly impatience and complete confusion). Him: “I want to release my [...]
