So, I feel obligated to post something about where the hell I’ve been for the last couple of months. I used to be so good about updating, and then just fell off the face of the earth. So here are some details: First, I set up a new blog – I decided to move to WordPress as my platform, and also move everything off the sub domain to the main NeuroticByNature.com domain. Ha, easier said than done. I fought with deciding on what design I wanted to use, redesigning my look – much cleaner now I... Read Full Story

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant. Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table saying, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'

So, I had this Bee Situation - a hive of bees that thought my house was an awesome place to live. I posted this on Craigslist....until some jackass flagged it and it got taken down: I have a hive of honeybees - of the buzzy variety. They are living in the eaves of my house - if you come and pick them up, they are yours free! They seem to like living here, so I suggest you bring photos of your house, to help encourage them to move. Since we found several honeycombs (and not the breakfast... Read Full Story

God, I can't believe she is this close to being one ancient McCain heartbeat from being the President of the United States. So, according to Palin's theory, I could be ambassador to Mexico because I live in Arizona (Oooooo it borders a FOREIGN COUNTRY) and I've eaten at Taco Bell. Read Full Story
