The House of Mouse

Dear Misters Povenmire & Marsh,
Hi! What’cha doin’? It’s me again - the mother of the nominal (toddler) president of the Phineas & Ferb fan club. I gotta say right off the bat, we’re counting down the minutes until Monday when season two kicks off. Partially, that is due to knowing season one [...]
Do you remember the video game The Sims? The one where you simulate a life, marry, have kids, hold down a job, buy new stuff, and somehow try to maintain your friendships? That’s how it’s been around here lately. I’m just going through the motions and nothing exciting has happened. That’s the reason for my [...]

I was feeling a little less than perfect this afternoon. Knute seemed very content to amuse himself by painting sixty pictures at the kitchen table, so I made myself a cuppa, poured some luxurious bubble bath into the tub and started the tap running. I went to the bookshelf, pulled out [...]
Don’t forget to join me tomorrow (mid-morning) for Mimosa Monday. Just a big glob of oj with a champagne chaser.

Dear Mr Cheese:
Can I call you Charles? Or do you prefer Chuck? Whatever. I am writing to voice a concern I have after my most recent visit to your establishment.
First and foremost, you know I am [...]
Do you ever feel like your life is a remake of a cult classic movie? I believe I could change my name to Molly and John Hughes himself might show up at my door. Of course, I always picture myself as the Duckie character - the one on the periphery. Be that as it may, [...]
If you’ve seen how my nose is deformed (HERE), you understand why I’ve had numerous sinus infections in the last couple of years. Since I’ve been on Allegra (so happily!) I have done better, but I recently went to the lady doc, & she decided being an NFP girl meant I needed to be taking [...]
The natives are restless around here. If you drive by my kitchen window you are liable to find me with my face & hands pressed against the glass begging to be released from my cage. 3+ weeks of togetherness has seen me pull hair out from the roots (and these were recently colored ones, too, [...]
There were many things I told myself I would do as a parent: never deny Knute books when he asked for them, stick to the schedule at all costs, never be afraid to give him a good wallop when he needed it, and lavish praise for jobs well done come to mind. I think I’ve [...]
Once upon a time last spring, the Anglophiles headed home to the metropolis known as H-town and my father shared information so disturbing I momentarily pondered using a spoon to scoop my eyes out of my ocular cavities and having Puppy pour hydrochloric acid in them. It was that disturbing. Wanna refresher? HERE. Go ahead. [...]
Last weekend I went out with a few friends for a birthday celebration. As two of them have b-days 11 days apart, and we rarely get nights sans chillens, we opted to have a dual party involving a martini bar and steak. Sounds divine, right?
Well, I must love my friends something fierce, because while chatting [...]
