Happy Leap Day!


Happy Leap Day! February 29th only happens once every four years. I understand it is there to give us a whole extra day to ponder who to vote for in the Presidential election, since Presidential elections are always on leap years.



So use this day to think about the question - who would be best to help us get out of this mess????

on hold with the IRS ...



Swan Lake and the IRS? $1,288 taxes for $600 in income??? I don't think this will be easy to straighten out. But I also really wish they would change the music!

Mooomie's dark secret - now out of the closet



OK - so how to NOT feel special in life. My whole life I thought I was named after both my grandmothers, who share my name. And I also thought as an added bonus I was named after the mother of Jesus. But NO, I was WRONG! This past visit, my mother told me that I was named after the doll she had growing up. Her doll was called Mary Anne, and those are my first two names.



I guess that is slightly better than being named after the family pet, but it wasn't the story I wanted to hear. A doll. I was just something she wanted to play with. Something you can put into the corner and forget about for a week or two before you play with it again. Something that you can forget to feed or dress and it won't really matter. Something that you outgrow as you get older.



Sigh. No wonder I'm so strange. At least now I know the reason! :-)

There is a God, or, Eat your Heart out, Moo-she!

By some miracle, I managed to install Flash on one of the school computers yesterday. I've been trying all year, and usually I am denied permission to do it. This means that I can now listen to Utterz while at work, and I can even watch videos! Before I had to look at the utter, while playing with my phone to hear the sound. It looked pretty awkward and just made it so obvious how addicted I really was.

This means that moo-she is probably the only person left in utter-land planet that can't listen to utterz at work. Sorry, moo-she. Someone has to be last. :)

she's done it again - so I'll do it again



A special message to my daughter who never calls, never emails, and doesn't return text messages. The daughter who texted me last week to say she couldn't possibly talk to me before Monday, because she was too busy. Oh, she did email once, but that was just asking for money. Daughter: You must have some free time, because you had enough time to take this picture.

You are looking a bit peaked. Please try to get some sleep!

love is ...


Going cross country skiing with your wife even though she insists on wearing the tacky jogging suit she stole from her mother. Even though it is bright and way too big. And made in a different decade.

Now that is true love.

Best Utter line yet.


I was telling my cousin last week about utterz and how it worked, and then she gave me this line back; "So, do people come up to you on the street and comment on your utters?" I was literally rolling on the floor laughing. No, I had to say, no one has commented on my utters in a long time. But it's been winter, so I don't think they are that visible.

My new super cool jogging suit - r u jealous???


Purple, green, red, and yellow. A perfect combination. I just had to "borrow" this from my mother, because I really don't think she's going jogging anymore. Eat your heart out, all you fashion-minded utterers! It is now mine. And if I only bulk up a bit - like maybe 30 pounds, it will even fit.

Arrrrgggggggg!!!! More snow????


So tomorrow I am supposed to head back to Massachusetts from Arizona, and now I learn that there is supposed to be a major snow storm there. Which normally would be OK, but I haven't seen my husband in two weeks, except briefly on Valentine's Day, and I was quite sick then because of a sinus infection. As in, I propped my head up with my water glass during our Valentine's Day dinner because it wouldn't stay up any other way. And I drank water instead of wine, because of all the cold medicines I was taking.

My husband is going to be in New York City tomorrow, and has already changed his plans to take the train back (because of the weather), so now he won't get back until Saturday. So if I actually get to fly into Boston tomorrow, I'll have to drive home myself in the snow and go to an empty house. That is, if I can get the car out of the parking lot where it is being left (my hubby is taking it to the subway station and I need to pick it up there). But more likely, I will get stuck in the airport for hours, and finally fly out the next day.

Well, this is just a rant. It will probably work out fine. They are probably wrong about the weather forcast.



But I really really am thinking that living anywhere except New England might be a pleasant change.
