Crack the Knife

Posted on April 24, 2014 by larva225

“Oh the shark has, pretty teeth dear…”  Oops.  Sorry. Although with as catchy as that song is, you would think Disney had written it.  It would have been brilliant in Finding Nemo. No, I’m writing because my household is having … Continue reading →

A-puke-alypse Now

Posted on April 14, 2014 by larva225

It was Saturday.  It was one of those days when you wake up and within 3 minutes have hit that “parental wall.”  It’s not that the kids were doing anything horrifically obnoxious.  It’s just that I was done.  I was … Continue reading →

Slippery When Weather

Posted on April 8, 2014 by larva225

To some degree, most of us crave at least a little excitement.  That’s why people spend big bucks and risk their lives to climb Everest, race cars, skydive. It’s why we ride roller coasters. Horror and suspense movies and books … Continue reading →

Sugar Stay or Sugar Go Now?

Posted on April 7, 2014 by larva225

Kind, Sealed, Delivered

Posted on April 4, 2014 by larva225
