Kate goes on an Adventure to an Oxygen Bar
PrintKate Goes to an Oxygen Bar. Tag along with Kate as she makes an attempt at being cool, hip and trendy. Oxygen bars are all the rage these days among the young trendy yuppie types. While I’ll be the first to admit that I am neither young or trendy, I do occasionally try to be hip. My latest attempt at “hipness” involved putting pink plastic tubes up my nose and breathing the scent of an orange … Read entire article »

Get your party on: 1/17-1/23
PrintWe have an amazingly strange week of holidays this week, beginning with none other than Doo Dah Parade Day on Jan. 18. Oddly enough, there are several days of the year when this one is celebrated, and apparently Pasadena has quite the parade (not on the 18th…). but since I can’t figure out what the sam hill this one is all about, let’s all break out in a round of Camp Town Ladies sing this … Read entire article »

Liz’s rant: Santa’s coming!
PrintCan you believe this is the week of Christmas? That in only a few days, Santa – the man in the big red suit – will be coming down the chimney? Maybe it’s just me but it seems like those last couple of weeks before the most wonderful time of the year always fly by. Sometimes, even that ritual visit to see Santa gets put off until the last minute. So this year, I figured I’d … Read entire article »

Liz’s rant: Pardon me! And other turkey tidbits
PrintYep, this is it – the day of days for the gobblers out there. The day when one lucky bird gets the ultimate gift: a pardon. Meanwhile an estimated 45 million will be landing on our dining room tables. For that, I am thankful. Anywho, the presidential pardon will be given today. This whole pardoning thing began in 1989 with the elder George Bush, and has continued since. And two turkeys are pardoned, not one. (Think … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Not now! I’m burying a young girl.
Print I am away on vacation this week…woohoo!yeehaw! While I’m away I’ve left a few of my favorite summertime posts for you this week. Enjoy! ~Kate I have survived yet another family vacation. My family (minus one kid, plus 2 friends – for a grand total of 10 people) spent a glorious week in southern California. We had a blast spending 3 days at Disneyland, 2 days at the beach, and we even spent a day enlightening … Read entire article »

Daughters, Marines and heat exhaustion – Liz’s rant
PrintLast weekend, my daughter headed to North Carolina with her future in-laws (Lee and Cheryl) to welcome home our Marine, Adam, who has been serving in Afghanistan for more than seven months. There were months that went fairly quickly in retrospect, but some days seemed to take a year to get through. So I’m sure it comes as no surprise that Hannah was more than a little anxious to make the trip. As is typical with … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Do you believe in the Vacation Fairy?
Print I am away on vacation this week…woohoo!yeehaw! While I’m away I’ve left a few of my favorite summertime posts for you this week. Enjoy! ~Kate Okay guys (and by guys, I don’t mean people in general, I actually mean guys, as in the gender laden with testosterone) this post is basically meant for you. But if you fit within the estrogen half of the population, I think you might just want to read along for kicks. Guys, … Read entire article »

The feathers are flyin’ – Liz’s rant
PrintRemember the last time you were packing 12 chickens around in your Dodge Neon and you needed to run into WalMart for something, so you thought to yourself, “Oh, I’m sure they’ll be fine if I barely crack the window. The heat index is only 117.” Me either. But apparently, someone with North Carolina plates in a central Kentucky WalMart who didn’t speak a lick of English was faced with just such a scenario this week. … Read entire article »

Twitter Dee, Twitter Dumb – Liz’s rant
PrintIt’s been more than two years since I opened my Twitter account, but only a few months that I’ve been actively using it. Notice I said actively, not successfully. I figured since everyone else is tweeting, I should be tweeting, too. It was time. Time to join the hoopla. Time to network like a pro. Time to embrace the latest (whatever) and greatest in the world of instantaneous communications. God help us. And is there … Read entire article »

Don’t paint your nails, Mom – Liz’s rant
PrintI was really hoping to jump right into Fourth of July preparations today, seeings how the celebrating America’s independence is right up there with Christmas as far as I’m concerned. But the festivities will have to wait. Because I – or should I say, my son – apparently has issues with finger nail polish where all things “mom” are concerned. It’s the darndest thing, I tell ya. My first hint that something was wrong came a … Read entire article »

A daughter and her car – Liz’s rant
PrintHave you ever noticed that when things are good, as a parent, you can rank right up there with the bffs of the world. But when things are bad, you’re suddenly enemy No. 1? Let’s just say I’m currently Enemy No. 1 on my daughter’s list through no fault of my own. It seems her car has a slight problem (at least that’s how the women among us would likely term it). It’s running super hot and … Read entire article »

Cape-A-Bility Challenge sorely lacking in super heroics –
Liz’s rant
Print Dateline: Central Florida, Spring 2011 Problem: More than 1 million Floridians unemployed Enter Workforce Central Florida, a federally-funded labor development agency, who is about to tackle the above problem with a $73,000 PR campaign. I’m guessing that at some point, the agency’s key players were called together for a meeting. They probably even locked the doors behind them. “No one leaves until we’ve eradicated unemployment in Central Florida,” someone probably said. So (again, I’m guessing) they gathered around the … Read entire article »

Top signs spring has sprung – Liz’s rant
Print Yesterday marked the warmest day of the year for many here in Kentucky – Louisville hit a record high of 90 degrees. Not bad for the second week of April. So I thought we’d briefly explore some of the tell-tale signs that spring fever has hit you. You find yourself at the store with a cart full of flowers and plants, and are filled with a strange urge to fight anyone who takes that nice looking … Read entire article »

Kate needs an intervention – Liz’s rant
Print Hi. My name is Liz. And Kate is a reality show junkie. I guess it shouldn’t come as a surprise. I’ve heard reality show rumblings from Kate before. In fact, she’s followed a few of these shows in the past – right here on this website. I just didn’t realize how many shows Kate was watching. And to think I feel guilty for watching American Idol every week. To think that I spent almost sleepless nights wondering … Read entire article »

Great recipe! Here’s how I made it – Liz’s rant
PrintI realize this is probably quite petty, but as I’ve become a regular recipe hunter, there’s something that absolutely irks me to no end. To what do I refer? Five star recipes with comments that totally alter the recipe from its original state. How can you rave over a recipe that you’ve drastically changed? More important – why do you insist on throwing me off? You leave me wondering who to trust: the original recipe submitter … Read entire article »
