Lil G is a FSBOA

FSBOA: Future Smart Bitch of America Don’t know who the SmartBitches are? You’re missing out; so check out their site, then buy their book. It will bring you hours of entertainment. And if it offends you that I captioned Lil G with questionable language..well, you REALLY won’t like this.

Instant Friendship

I am always amazed at the speed in which my daughter can make a new friend. She is a naturally gregarious person and has a knack for remembering people’s names. And, let me just say, the girl is NOT shy. This really comes in handy when we go to the park on our own (as…

A Good Read? You can Bet on it.

Just had the ol’ bookclub meeting. Since I picked the book, I hosted – and we had a great time here at Chateau Johnson, it was one of the most enjoyable book club nights yet – if I do say so myself. I chose Bet Me, by Jennifer Crusie – something easy and fun –…
