Every year, Hollywood holds the Academy Awards so the world can watch wealthy, dysfunctional people pat each other on the back. This year’s list of nominees was just released, and movie critics are appalled/delighted with the potential winners. If the only movie you’ve seen this year was Adam Sandler’s “Jack and Jill,” get off this blog and never comeContinue reading “How to Prepare for the Oscars”

Required List of New Year’s Resolutions 2013
I’m not a quitter. So I’m not going to stop eating See’s chocolates for breakfast or reduce the amount of television I watch in 2013. I think instead of quitting things, like swearing and robbing banks, New Year’s resolutions should be about finding new ways to waste time, talent and money–just like the Kardashians! So, in 2013, I herebyContinue reading “Required List of New Year’s Resolutions 2013”
One Fruitcake Away From a Christmas Meltdown
(Fruitcake: The ultimate Christmas deception. Looks good. Tastes like s***.) Maybe you haven’t heard, but tomorrow is Christmas. The day when high expectations are smashed against the fiscal cliff. The day when children cry because they didn’t get the RIGHT Barbie doll or video game. (Greedy bastards.) We dash through the month, doing our shopping,Continue reading “One Fruitcake Away From a Christmas Meltdown”
Holiday Party Survival Guide
Anyone who knows me is aware that I’m socially inept. Parties, get-togethers, mingles–whatever you want to call it, social interaction gives me hives. I could kick myself for not taking that “How to Make Small Talk” class at the local community college. (That awkward moment when everybody has said they are “fine”, and there’s nothing elseContinue reading “Holiday Party Survival Guide”
I’m Thankful For . . .
If you don’t make a list of things you’re thankful for each November, you’re just an ungrateful, selfish American who probably hates kittens and steps on ladybugs. Bloggers are required by law to make a gratitude list to remind their readers not to be hedonistic during this long, expensive, mentally draining holiday season. So, hereContinue reading “I’m Thankful For . . .”
My 100th Post
If this blog was a television sitcom, I’d be celebrating my 100th episode with big-name guest stars. But since this is only a blog, that’s not gonna happen. I could have invited some guest bloggers to post something . . . or . . . I could do a video montage of past postings set to “TheContinue reading “My 100th Post”
How I Got Addicted To Pinterest
Hello, I’m Peri, and I’m a Pinterest addict. (Pinterest: The act of sorting the entire Internet into categories.) When I first tried Pinteresting, I was sure I could handle it. I could stop scrolling after a few re-pins and walk away from my computer. For a while it was okay. But I started thinking about Pinterest allContinue reading “How I Got Addicted To Pinterest”
How to Tell if Your Co-Worker is a Zombie
Zombies are the it creatures this year. If you’re going to be creepy–zombie is the way to go. But sometimes you work with people who beHAVE like a zombie but you’re not quite sure if they’re actually infected. They tend to look dazed, unfocused and have a tendency to drool–but is that just the wayContinue reading “How to Tell if Your Co-Worker is a Zombie”
Are You a Tech Addict?
My laptop screen blew out last week. No warning. Just a great big “I’m not working! Hahahahahaha!!” (Not an actual re-creation. Mine was much worse.) So, off to the electronic super store I went where the Geek Squad tried to convince me I should upgrade my computer. I was adamant that I just needed access to the Internet, iTunes and aContinue reading “Are You a Tech Addict?”
Strange Happenings in Chicago
It’s September, so Tom and I decided to take a summer vacation. We flew off to the Windy City to eat deep dish pizza and Chicago dogs, attend ball games and leave our real lives behind. We had SO much fun and did all the touristy things like visiting Navy Pier (along with a majillion otherContinue reading “Strange Happenings in Chicago”
