Quick, what rhymes with Franco?

The following vlog was inspired by James Franco's poetry reading he recently did for Obama's inauguration. (Franco was very good in Freaks and Geeks, love him.) It's a poem about being a mom. A mom desperate to get through yet another hectic morning without having a nervous breakdown. Watch my video to see if I can make it through …

Happy Holidaze, Maineiac Style!

Many cold winter nights, I toss and turn, sleep as elusive as my dreams of ever having a family Christmas party where no one gets drunk, then fights over the Mayan calendar or who gets to take home Aunt Edna's hard-as-a-hockey-puck fruitcake. (Something tells me the end of the world and digesting Aunt Edna's fruitcake are …

Maineiac Answers Your Questions

I am sorry. So very sorry. I answered your questions as fast I could, but still the video is very long. I swear I will never, ever do this again. Ever. Again. I've been known to ramble. I've been known to not know when to shut up. You can feel bad for my husband, it's …

It's that time again, kidz!   I'm droppin' another vlog down in the hizzle, yo!

2 Years of Blogging (and they said it wouldn’t last…)

Two years ago today, I started my blog. I had no idea what to write about or why anyone in their right mind would ever want to read it. I guess some things never change. My first post was about widgets and picking a theme. After I published it, I thought, Huh. Well...so now what? I guess that's it...I'm …

The vlog conclusion…

Before you watch this, I have to say a few things. First, settle down kids. Okay, so my shoes are still there, and yes, apparently they are gigantic and very distracting. Tape a little piece of paper over it if you must. Also, there will be no baton twirling. Maybe tomorrow. I apologize in advance …

Yo! Another vlog up in the hizzle!

(Sorry, I know, that is the worst title for a post ever...I'm trying to increase my readership levels for the 18 to 22 year old crowd. I may have managed to alienate a few instead.) I haven't done a vlog in eons. Well since here.  Elyse from FiftyFourandAHalf posted a little tagging Q&A thing so I thought I'd do …

Wickahd Good Stuff, Ayuh!

Whenever you read someone's blog, do you ever wonder what that person's voice sounds like or what mannerisms they have? Are they loud? Do they mumble? (my husband thinks I mumble loudly) Do they talk with their hands? Do they talk with their feet? Do they laugh like a hyena on steroids? These are the things you can …
