The Universe Wants Me to Eat Brownies
Have I mentioned I like carbs? A lot? Have I mentioned I'm accident prone? Yeah, I'm that girl. I'd like to share with ya'll a little story. A story that may seem to have no point (as so many of my rants do), but will show in the end why I am...

Kid, You're Really GonnaGo Far in Life!
I had a very sweet elderly man tell me at work today, "You're really going to go far in life!" I smiled and sincerely thanked him, but all the way home from work that day I kept thinking, "Ya know, he was not the first person to tell me that." In...

Dear Treadmill
Dear Treadmill, I don't blame you if you never want to speak to me again after the way I dropped you like a bad habit, but I beg you to please at least hear me out. I was quite convinced that I no longer needed you. I used you to get me through a...

A Decade Later: Lessons Learned?
Every generation has a "where were you" moment. For some, it was Pearl Harbor. For some, the assassination of JFK. For some, the death of Elvis. For my generation, it was 9/11. Ask anyone around you what they were doing on the day of 9/11, and I...

Bucky's Ducky...Gee I'm Lucky!
Well, it's official. I have now published my 100th rant. For about a month now, I've been staring at that number 99 on my profile and trying to decide how to commemorate the occasion. I have celebrated the 100th hub with many fellow hubbers. Some...

Does the Time Fit the Crime?
When I was a child, I learned from an early age about consequences. It was really quite simple. If you broke a rule, there was a consequence. If the crime got worse, so did the consequence. As a parent of two children, I've learned myself that when...

Meet Me Behind the Willow Tree
So I'm cooking dinner tonight when my adorable, funny, yet slightly mischievous 6 year old walks into the kitchen to crack the eggs (it's "breakfast for dinner" night). I can tell she has something on her mind as she's looking a little pensive and...

How a Blueberry Muffin Gave Me Laryngitis
So, those of you who know me or read my work a lot (just nod and smile in agreement) probably know that I am not really an "emotional" girl. I can't think of a single movie I have ever cried at (except E.T. but I was 8 and it scared the ever loving...

How To Tone A Gullible Soul
Marketing. A really good marketer could sell a Ketchup Popsicle to an Eskimo in a white dress. And apparently, a really good marketer can sell ridiculously expensive and ugly tennis shoes to vain women with cellulite. Have you ever heard of...

Dear Yahoo (A Dear John Letter...Bucky Style)
Dear Yahoo, You will never know how much it pains me to write this letter. I am sitting here drowning my sorrows in a large bottle of Merlot with a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs next to me. As soon as I finish this excruciating letter, I plan...

The Shadow of the Wind - Book Review
Today I am going to deviate a little from my typical platform of making fun of people, making fun of myself or ripping on Obama. I think there is enough sadness and devastation going on in Haiti right now without that. So instead, I am going to...

Unsmooth Moments.....the Sequel
So everyone in my circle of family and friends pretty much knows me as the clumsy one. I am the one who falls up stairs and trips on flat surfaces. For those of you who find it humorous to laugh at the expense of others, you might enjoy my hub...

The Donut Debacle
Everybody likes donuts right? If not, don't talk to me. So I run by Fred Meyer the other day to grab some headache medicine, and that's when I have the epiphany......I should buy donuts. Cause if donuts won't make a headache better, nothing will...

The One Thing I Would Do Over Again and Why....
I am currently reading a book called "Do-Over!" by Robin Hemley. In the book, Robin made a list of 5 things from his childhood that he wants to "do over" and does just that. (Well, as close as he can.) For example, he had a crazy ass kindergarten...

Unsmooth Moments
I have three major fears. 1. Being kidnapped. I almost was as a child once. Seriously. Mandi remembers, huh? 2. Falling off a cliff in a car. I almost did once as a child. (Well, not really but it seemed like it. We had to let grandma out and...

Bumper Sticker No Nos
Ok, so I am sitting in a drive through today behind a car that has a bumper sticker that says, "My other ride is your husband." First, let me get on my soapbox about bumper stickers for a moment. 90% of them simply illustrate how immature and...
