Furry Essentials

Joann giving her signature Eskimo kiss! Our Beagle Minnie's groomer Furry Essentials won the 2012 Best of Worcester Reader Poll  in the pet groomer category! I'm sad to say that I didn't even know about this poll because I don't actually subscribe to a print newspaper and found out about it on Facebook this afternoon, but I'm psyched for them and they deserve it. Joann treats Minnie like a princess. Joann loves to get right down onto the floor to greet Minnie when we walk through the door. Minnie's typical respo…

Deli (en)Counters

Dear Deli Counter, I'm writing to let you know all the things wrong with you in the hopes that you'll shape up and embrace changes after all these years of sameness.  It's time... Lose the  Take-A-Ticket concept. It doesn't work.  Don't you know by now that ordinary folk can't follow direction?  Probably 5% of deli customers see the ticket machine, get the ticket and wait politely waiting for their number to be called so they can place their deli order.  The rest of the 95% ignore what you're supposed to do …

My First Heimlich

Photo: Heimlich Heimlich Hippos via Shirtoid.com You never forget your first time. Spencer and I went out to lunch today.  I just happened to look up from my delicious Chicken Oscar and noticed that a waitress was performing the Heimlich maneuver on a fellow diner. It happened so fast. At first it just looked odd that the waitress was hugging this guy and then it dawned on my slow brain that I was seeing a medical emergency in progress. I stopped chewing and probably exclaimed 'Cool' or something like that to Spencer. Then …

Introducing The Wrong Kim Perry

I'd say for the past 6-8 months, my Gmail account has been mistakenly tangled up with at least 3 different Kim Perry's, but probably more. Apparently I've been quite busy doing the following: Apartment hunting on Rent.com in Alpharetta, GA.  Reviewing my CanaDuct Cleaning experience via Homestars.com. Being Chief of Emergency Medicine. Writing cautionary emails to my co-workers about the state of the ladies bathroom (a personal favorite topic of the ACTUAL Kim Perry) Attending various Little League games Travel to Cancun…

Don't Worry, Bee Happy

Lately I've been learning everything there is to know about replacing a roof and all the things to look for when hiring a roofer.  It's been a month-long journey of meeting with various contractors and navigating the professional jargon:  drip edges, soffit ventilation, felt paper, fascias, flashing, sheathing, architectural shingles, ridge vents, etc.  But the one thing I never expected to learn about with this whole project is that our home has been under attack by Carpenter Bees . The fascia board, which is the wooden boards nai…

My First MRI

Today would have been my mother's 63rd birthday.  I celebrated her birthday today by having my first MRI this morning at  St. Vincent's Hospital  which is appropriate because my mother suffered from severe neck and back problems her entire life and I'd think something's gone wonky in my back. I guess the only good thing about that is it took me into my early forties to notice. My back went out a week before Christmas and it's just never been the same.  My lower back is always sore , but for the past two months, I…

Spring Cleaning

Today is Saturday and although I'm technically not on vacation just yet, I've begun Spring Cleaning and I thought that I would blog a little bit about what I just accomplished this Saturday morning - mostly for posterity sake. I tackled the bedroom closet and drawers while listening to the last audio CD's of The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest .  I was determined to finish up the last in the Stieg Larsoon trilogy while on this vacation because I've been so engrossed in the books that I really haven't read anything…

Twilight: The Game

I know this is just another way for haters of Twilight to make fun of all the obsessive fans of Stephanie Meyers Twilight series, but this one really makes me laugh. In the end, Edward wins so that makes me happy.

Sesame Street - Monsterpiece Theater "Twin Beaks"

You've really got to hand it to Sesame Street. They always seem to come up with little skits that just aren't for children and I suppose that's to keep the parents entertained as well. Case in point: Monsterpiece Theater 'Twin Beaks'. The plot is pretty much plain as the bird's double beaks, but the parody is clever and cute. And you learn a valuable lesson from Cookie: Ask Questions to find things out.

"Matthew's Day Off"

This is a pretty cute tongue-in-cheek commercial paying homage to Ferris Bueller's Days Off. It was funny, but it made me feel old.

10 Fascinating Folks of 2011 Commentary-McGlover Style

Megan McGlover KILLS me. I need to be better about watching every single video she posts on YouTube because she's always got something whacked out and interesting to say. She's just one of those people who can always make me laugh out loud no matter what she's spouting off about.  Love her or hate her, Megan is one of the best things about the internet.
