Good morning and meow-za! Happy Caturday to ya. I hope you have toasty toes and that someone is baking you biscuits, be they of the glutinous or the feline variety. I’m busting out the creams today because January is Crazy About Creams month here on MBB (as in cream makeup products), and it occurred to me last night that I have yet to ask you about YOUR favorite cream products. What are they? Inquiring minds want to know. On that note, here’s some light reading for your Saturday Surfing time today… Yet another sign that Lady Gaga is coming out...

So…what is the Monday Poll? Excellent question! It isn’t, contrary to its name, an actual poll, like with little clicky buttons. It’s just a list of five more or less random questions I’ve been posting on this blog every Monday morning for the past quadrillion years (since 2007). I love reading your answers, and it helps me get my week off to a good start. 1. Your preferred nail shape? Slightly squared like a very tired, very lazy oval. So not overly square. 2. What would happen if you rubbed your cat’s belly? I realize that many kitties aren’t down...

Connor is a busy, busy bee! At some point within the last month, she entered the phase where she repeats every word she hears — from me, her dad, the TV, school. Sometimes, it’s endearing, like when she’s learning new words and phrases. (Yesterday we were bird watching, and she said, very matter-of-factly, “Let’s write down all the observations in a notebook.”) Other times, it’s full-on shocking. What did you just say…? So…in the Trader Joe’s parking lot last Sunday, which unfortunately is one of the places I GO HAM because some drivers are extra nuts on the weekends, someone...

Next week, I’ll officially be six months into “The Journey to Grow Out My Grays,” and let me tell you…it’s been hard! It’s been even tougher than growing out my brows, which is sort of counter-intuitive, right? Because I’m not actually doing anything… The hair is doing all the work. I’m just living my life, but dang if it hasn’t been a test of will and a test of my mental state. Ah, man! The Journey to Grow Out My Grays Growing Out My Grays: Chapter 1 Growing Out My Grays: Chapter 2 Frivolous Friday Chit Chat: Growing Out Gray...

I’ve come to the realization that “adult” coloring books are a total scam. They’re supposed to be for stress relief, and I love the amazing intricate artwork. I have a couple of them, but after YEARS I’ve yet to finish a single picture. Not one. Mostly, it’s because I can never decide what colors to use in the tiny shapes. Like, if I commit to coloring one small triangle in the spokes of this bike wheel with a dark forest green, it basically sets the tone for the rest of the picture. I’m obsessed with committed to coloring all of...
