Have a Chick-fil-a Strawberry Milkshake.
I did.
Mmm. Milkshake.
With real strawberries.
And whipped cream.
From Chick-fil-A.
Not BK.
Not Wendy’s (I sneer at your Frosty).
Not Old McDonald’s, with your sub-par Triple Thick Milkshake.
Chick-fil-A Strawberry Milkshake. (Or chocolate. Or vanilla. Or cookies n’ cream.)
So good, I think I might have another one tomorrow.

…while the company is true.
Many times I have wondered if certain authors knew they were writing words of life just for me.
Today, it’s Tolkien.
The Quest stands upon the edge of a
knife. Stray but a little and it will

Paul: “What’s that noise?”
Me: “What noise?”
Paul: “Don’t you hear it? That beeping sound!”
Me: “What beeping sound?”
Paul: “You know, that high-pitched annoying sound. It’s like a garbage truck in reverse.”
beep… beep… beep…
Me: “Oh yeah. I hear it now. Sounds like it’s getting closer. What is that?”
Screeeeeeech! The road eats away our tires as we come to […]

My sister called yesterday to check on me. She said after reading my last several posts, (Rx for Blue Moods, Left Ear, Big Toe, Reality Bites, etc.) she was concerned and wanted to make sure I was okay.
Well, the good news is this: I am okay.
The good doctor performed an ear lavage (code words for […]

Though it sounds disgusting unless you’re from the South, or happen to love black-eyed peas, this dip is quite the crowd-pleaser; it also makes a wonderful party dip because it is so different from the usual appetizer fare.
MFR (Rinnie) emailed me for the recipe (which confirms that it’s good!), so I thought I’d just include […]

From the wise woman who gave me this gem, here’s a yummy and effective prescription for treating a blue mood:
Get yourself a stock of Junior Mints.
Don’t inhale them; put one in your mouth and suck on it and make it last.
The dark chocolate has magnesium which will lift your mood.
The mint is a relaxer for […]

“Huh?”
“What?”
“Did you say something?”
“Hmm?”
“What did you say?”
“Say that again?”
“What, baby?”
“Were you talking to me?”
“I’m sorry. What?”
“You’re gonna have to say that louder, sweetie, Mommy can’t hear you.”
These are the things you would have heard me say if you’d been in the Martin house for the past 24 hours.
Why? you ask.
Because I can’t hear out […]

This may be the dumbest/weirdest post I’ve ever written, but it is so like me, so I’m writing it anyway.
It is 4:30am and I’m awake.
I was awakened by pain. Big toe pain.
Seriously, folks.
The searing pain originates at the top left corner of the toenail on my right foot and is radiating all the way up […]

Hard core, I know.
But sometimes, it just does.
Like when realize that you have exactly 2 weeks and 3 days until you move everything you own to a house you’re renting for just shy of $1000 bucks a month. (I know, it’s a steal!)[heavy sarcasm here]
Like when you realize that in those exactly 2 weeks and […]
