I have to say, there's just hardly anything more exciting to me than seeing the UPS truck drive into my driveway. My kids used to call him the "present man." When the guy hauls a cardboard box up to my door, I still get a little goosebumpy. It's all the more exciting...
I finally found a Survivor I want to sign up for. It's...SPA SURVIVOR. Instead of competitions where you end up dragging yourself all across a sandy desert beach, you have to endure a really rough exfoliator. Yeah, that'll rub you the wrong way. Competitions could...

My daughter has this new pup that's about as big as a peanut. I'm still totally amazed at how much this thing can eat. It's like a teenager. And WHAT she eats? That's baffling, too. Yesterday she ate part of a pencil, half the lining of my favorite purse and at least...
I'm working like a maniac trying to finish a book in two weeks--finish writing it, not reading it. If I write from sunup to sun-back-up and stop wasting time with trivial things like eating, drinking and sleeping I might make it--well, probably not alive. Maybe that's...
