| Description: | Not a Mom blog! My kids are grown—2/3 of them have left the nest—and all I have left are a Hubby, two dogs, and lots of free time. I get to do fun stuff like explore the Mid-Atlantic states on my motorcycle, take lots of fun pictures, clean up dog poo, dream about becoming a marathoner (not!), and so on. In short, it's a bit of real life. |

All-New Taste-Free Christmas 2009
Last year, I thought it would be fun to collect Christmas-related stuff that's ugly, gaudy, tacky, etc., to feature on my Blog. Because what's more fun than seeing the crazy stuff people think of to decorate with, give as gifts, sell, eat, etc.I figured this video, which is one of my favorites from last year, would be a great way to kick things off.

The Day-After Doldrums
Can I just say that I hate the term, "Black Friday"? I do. In all honesty, I hate what Black Friday has become. It's just one more example of the over-commercialization of Christmas.Not that I am super (or even remotely) religious. But Christmas should be about families and friends sharing and treasuring the time together. Giving gifts if you want to and not because you feel like you have to. Gifts that you choose, that have some meaning or are special in some way.Anyway... I won't go on and on.Thinking about Christmas just puts me in a bad mood. So I'll talk about Thanksgiving instead, even if it is history.

Happy Thanksgiving!
I just had to take a moment to wish all of my family and friends a Happy Thanksgiving!It's going to be a VERY quiet one for us this year. Just Hubby, the doggie-girls and me on a fog-enshrouded mountain.No TV, so we won't even be watching any parades. Not that I am complaining.This is th

Random Thoughts from ToadMama Herself
I like this guy. I've never seen one of his movies. But, after seeing him recently on 60 Minutes, I really, really like him. He makes low-budget movies that are extremely popular. But "Hollywood" says he's portraying black people in a bad light.

Enough With the Dogs Already
You know, for a couple of weeks now, all I've been talking about here is dogs. Or so it seems. I mean, really. My last non-dog post was on November 13.I know, I know, that's not quite two weeks. But I have to wonder how many of my devoted fans have become bored with the dogs? How many people visit the blog only to go away disappointed for lack of variety?With all the kids grown and out of the house now, there's just not a lot of non-canine excitement. Thinking of new material to come up with is a stretch. So I decided to take it upon myself to add some magic, variety, and excitement to this blog (and, by extension, our lives) by adding...
