The psychic gave me her card in case I wanted to see her again, thus proving in finality just how not psychic she was.

Whenever I go into a Starbucks there is no recycling bin and that doesn't seem very Starbucky to me.

People who use the term 'slow cooker' instead of 'Crock Pot' are only fooling themselves.

Fortunately I've learned something about pants and houses.

Don't bother going for something bigger. If you do, your junk just fills it up in no time.

Sometimes I can't decide between one question mark or three.

Do you ever feel that way? Do you???

Welcome, New Readers! Here's the newest list of interesting things people have Googled and ended up at this blog:

And now a word from my mother via email.

Amy, I tried to make a comment on your blog but "google" said I already had an account but I don't know the password. So, now a half hour later, I just wanted to say it's Who may I say is calling? , because "who" is subject of the verb "is" , therefore, nominative case. In the other sentence "whom" is correct because it is object of the preposition "for", therefore, objective case.

I will feel so much safer once Marion Jones is behind bars.

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "Whom may I say is calling?" Otherwise it's 'who.'

This grammatical advice comes from my friend Sheila, who I know is right because she designs children's textbooks.

There are now 7 STAR hotels.

This is the equivalent of Gillette adding another blade to their razor.

I like the airplanes I fly in to be perfect.

If my window shade is broken or magazine pocket is frayed, I wonder what else on the plane has seen better days.
That's why I love airplane bathrooms. I love how they are designed so the light comes on only if you lock the door, ensuring that you'll never forget to lock it. And even if you do forget and someone opens the door, the light is off! The shadow of darkness shields your dignity! Whenever I'm tinkling 35,000 feet over this great Earth I find myself hoping the engines, instrument panels and landing gear were designed with such great forethought.

I wish there were a print equivalent of the air quote.

Regular quotation marks "come close."

I've mentioned seeing bags in trees and birds in malls. (3/29 post) But this morning I saw TREES IN BAGS.

Just sitting by the side of the road waiting to be picked up. There has to be a better way to deal with Christmas trees.

On some days parenting is a rewarding, enriching experience.

On other days it's just me against the hamper.
