For date night this week, our movie options were limited. We are lucky enough to live nearby cheap movie theaters that allow us to go to the movies weekly, so we see almost everything that comes out. Well, everything we have an interest in seeing, anyway. There are movies such as Krank 2 that you […]
It’s unusual for me to blog twice in one day, but hey, today itself has been unusual. First, the swine flu has officially spread to Chicago. Why does that affect me? Because we were planning a trip there this weekend for my nephew’s first birthday party. We were up in the air about going for

The other day I got an email from my friend about an unusual request she had. I found the email quite amusing, so I’ll share it: Hi Lisa! I have a big favor to ask. Can I borrow Disney & Christopher for a photo? It’s a long story — My grandson Ben colored a “Flat

Make that 4 rats. We now have 4 pet rats. How did that happen, you ask? A bit of mistaken identity when they were picked out at the pet store resulted in rat babies? No, all 4 are male – I don’t think there’s any mistaking that. What happened is this… We got our two
As you may or may not know, my husband – the almighty admin – wrote a play called “The Clinic”. We spent last Saturday turning it into a short film. Here is a teaser… Lisa
