Rooster in Boots: December 2006
http://roosterinboots.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Uncensored, Unedited, Unbelievably boring musings. Thursday, December 21, 2006. Most of my friends are in their 20s, a full decade younger than I am. I used to think this was because of my youthful appearance. And the fact that I was so damned cool everyone wanted to hang around me. But lately, I've realized it's because I'm motherly. I'm pretty much the Queen Bee of my social circle. My spring chicken friends call on me for guidance in pretty much all categories. Why? I still remember one of our first d...

Rooster in Boots: January 2007
http://roosterinboots.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Uncensored, Unedited, Unbelievably boring musings. Monday, January 01, 2007. It's Been Real and It's Been Fun and It's Been Real Fun. I am sad to report that this will be my final posting on blogger :( One of my New Year's Resolutions is to "Be Less Busy." Unfortunately, my blogging life has taken more of my time than it needs to, which brings me to my second New Year's Resolution: to publish the novel that I finished in 2004. You a-holes better buy a copy when it's out. The Best of the Past 96 Posts:.

Every Day Is Something New: Play a Practical Joke on My Family
http://everydayissomethingnew.blogspot.com/2009/03/play-practical-joke-on-my-family.html
Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Play a Practical Joke on My Family. I have to admit that I haven't exactly cultivated a climate of "fun and games" in the Stockton house. I'm a jumpy and skittish person by nature, and the few times my husband has tried to spook me with rubber spiders and fake snakes and the like, I think I've tended to cuss like a sailor and girl-slap him in his chest. And just like that, poor Claire became my victim. Claire quickly seized the opportunity to launch into a state of full martyrd...

Every Day Is Something New: Use the Slide At Fat Man's Pass
http://everydayissomethingnew.blogspot.com/2009/03/use-slide-at-fat-mans-pass.html
Monday, March 16, 2009. Use the Slide At Fat Man's Pass. Clearly, a dumbass named this landmark. It should really be called "Skinny Man's Pass." Or possibly "Fat Man Passes Out." Nevertheless, I'm proud to report that I STILL made it through Fat Man's Pass after gaining a good 40 pounds since last trying to squeeze my. Big boobs through there roundabout 1995. Wreaks on a chubbo. Oh boy," were Gary's words of encouragement. As an added bonus, check out the profile of Claire's head in the left corner of th...

Every Day Is Something New: Participate in My Kids' Interests
http://everydayissomethingnew.blogspot.com/2009/03/participate-in-my-kids-interests.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. Participate in My Kids' Interests. This whole Twilight business.I can't say that I've experienced kids getting soooo into books in my entire lifetime. Bella this. Bella that. Vampire this. Cullen that. Well, not to my 10-year-old daughter. In fact, I can see the disappointment on her face each time I pull up to pick her up from school, all fat, in my "late-model" car (hey - it's paid off! Not so much. Twilight, the movie version, blows chunks. If I was a lobotomized reta...Then ...

Every Day Is Something New: Climb a Tree
http://everydayissomethingnew.blogspot.com/2009/03/climb-tree.html
Friday, March 13, 2009. So, in my second day of trying something new, I decided to climb a tree. Despite what all you adventurous types out there may have done in your childhood, I have YET to climb a tree in my whole life. Not sure why, but it may have something to do with the fact that they're high off the ground and I'm chubby. And it felt kind of good. For a few minutes. Until I realized that I'd have to come down. I've come to terms with what a naive and sheltered baby I am because I lit...Thankfull...

Every Day Is Something New: March 2009
http://everydayissomethingnew.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Enjoyed sinking my teeth into the little kumquat orange in a previous blog that I thought I'd continue the trend of experimenting with miniature produce when I happed upon this little feller at Fry's. Now, it's important to note that I don't. 1 French Fries (mmmm). 5 Small Nutsack Potato. So, yeah, you can see that the Small Nutsack Potato, whose official name is the "Purple Fingerling Potato," fared pretty well in my rankings. It's actually very tasty! And you'd be like, "PSYCHE!

Every Day Is Something New: Try that Crazy Fruit I've Always Wondered About
http://everydayissomethingnew.blogspot.com/2009/03/try-that-crazy-fruit-ive-always.html
Sunday, March 15, 2009. Try that Crazy Fruit I've Always Wondered About. Yesterday, I was grocery shopping in the produce aisle, and I walked by one of those wacky fruits that are all uber-cultural that the average simple American has never tried. You know, like the black bananas, and the fuzzy pears and these li'l guys. Kumquats look like very tiny oranges. Not sure of their origins, I can only surmise the following hypotheses:. I tried to peel it like a regular orange, but it was just too small. I ...
