Laughing Star by cindy47452, on Flickr Have you listened to a late night show and throughout the entire show found there was someone out in the audience whose laugh was shrill, or loud, or just annoying?  There’s some woman on Craig Ferguson tonight that just won’t stop with this annoying “weeeeaaaaaahhhhhh woooo” noise.  Makes […]

In listening to this evening’s news, there was a piece about “lawmakers addressing the increasing rise in gas prices.”  My ears perked up and I got sidetracked from writing my scathing letter to the camp we were going to send the Pie Dudes to but after a series of very misfortunate events, pulled out before […]

A continuation of the thoughts posed [here]. Between the ages of 6 mos. and 10 years, our family packed up the station wagon and headed to Silver Lake State Park in Michigan.  But then in my eleventh year of life, our summer vacation plans took an abrupt turn - south.  We packed up our […]

As of this morning, gas prices were this high.  Insane.  And this in one of the nation’s greenest towns.  I’m going to go run over a bicyclist now. IceRocket Tags: kathie,leung,insane,gas,prices,green,town,twisted,warning,journals

A bit ago, I wrote a post titled The Death of Tinkerbell.  If you recall, I was spouting off about the ghastly expense of going to an amusement park (yeah, right, who’s the most amused here?).  And, if you recall, I wrote another post in preparation for a school field trip to a more local […]

1.  I’ll be with 3 kids, all boys, on the precipice of adolescence (I’ve already heard them comparing notes or possibly bragging about vocal pitch changes and body hairs, so this can’t be good), for an entire day; 2.  We will be spending approximately 5.5 hours in the car. I have a […]

I’m with the firm belief Walt Disney hated kids. Conspiracy theorists will love me on this. I’ve come to conclude Disney was someone who understood the benefits of copyrights, trademarks and registered symbols. And he had a love affair with money. As for that much, I’m unable to add pictures to […]
