socks are the feetiest

There are some songs that are great at every age. I love “Everywhere I Go”.

snoop floops

I don’t think I have a biological clock.  My niece is the cutie-est but I don’t seem to want to create my own mini-me.  We all have our priorities, I suppose, and mine seems to be sleep and extra cash.
Just got back from spending a few days in the heartland with the fam.  My niece [...]

if firemen were in charge

I meant to post this commercial a while back – a very clever election year ad by Nextel. Normally, I don’t like being a shill (I’m not one of their customers anyway). Also, you’d think I’d have more respect for the institution of Congress having worked there for nearly six years. [...]

the quest continues

We have coupons for 30% off at Off Fifth and tomorrow the quest for the Handbag of Glory continues.  Or, for shoes I can wear to Manic Bride’s wedding.  Maybe in canary yellow.  Teh Smitten ain’t so much into handbags so he might just get jeans.

Nick & Nora

One of Teh Smitten’s high school friends has an excellent food blog – Tableau Vivante. (Bunny – you should take notice of this with all your gourmet tendencies. You haven’t posted on your own food blog since 2007 and that is just sad.)
I realize I should have highlighted this very good blog much [...]

clam gulch, ak?

I have a reader in Clam Gulch, Alaska.  How did they find me?  Who are they?  I know most of the people who read Allez oop and I don’t know anyone in Alaska.
Thankyouverymuch.

NAPA 1015 and an embarrassment of inebriants

Teh Smitten and I hit NAPA 1015 for dinner tonight and it was great.  I’d read about this new restaurant, just a couple blocks from my house, on Frozen Tropics (a neighborhood blog), and understand they’ve recently changed their menu.  Also, they’re supposed to have an excellent brunch.  One of the owners shared that the [...]
