Memories - Like the Cobwebs of My Mind

2013-04-28T23:10:00.001-05:00

When was the last time you thought about youthful things? I thought about it recently because I had a visual trigger. Triggers can be visual, auditory, taste, touch, etc. They cause you to remember things long forgotten. This is what I had forgotten: When I was a little girl, I made these baskets with my grandma. She taught me and I thought they were the coolest...

Creative Bioscience Update

2013-04-27T23:26:00.000-05:00

I haven't written much lately, and I'm having severe withdrawals. This post won't help with that too much, but it's something to get me started again. Plus, I'm obligated. A few months ago, I started a blogger challenge put on by Creative Bioscience wherein I would try three of their products, blog about my choices, my results once during the duration, and once at the end, and then I would...

Dumpster Diving? Yes, I did!

2013-03-18T18:49:00.001-05:00

I received one of the worst calls a parent can get last week. I glanced at the phone and saw that it was the Junior High. I assumed it was a robo-call. Alas, it was not to be so. "Mrs. Brown?" "Yes." "I'm very sorry to tell you this, but..." Now, friends, let me just pause here for one second and tell you that what goes through your mind in that moment is absolutely a worst case scenario....

Scavenger Hunts - Gremlins and Prizes, Oh My!

2013-03-08T21:35:00.003-06:00

My daughter went on a scavenger hunt recently. She stated quite emphatically that she had the "most fun she's ever had." She's twelve. I believe her. There was even a cool mom involved. It wasn't me. I can remember going on scavenger hunts when I was a kid. I even did it once for a job at a "fun day" event. I had the required safety pin in my purse and other items which I'm...

Tell Me About Your Husband, But Don't Touch Mine!

2013-02-18T23:59:00.001-06:00

In honor of this being a post-Valentine's Day post, I'm going to talk about my honey-bun, my sugar snap, my lover boy. I don't call him any of those things. Barf! But yes, I am referring to my husband. First, however, in honor of it being President's Day, I must channel my inner George Washington and admit that I chopped down the cherry tree. I've heard that may not even be true, but I'm using...

Carolyn Fallon on Diabetes - guest posts today!

2013-02-10T18:17:00.001-06:00

Dear Readers, I was recently acknowledged by my peers for supporting and promoting new bloggers; fresh new faces, all pink and rosy and full of wonder about this whole blogging adventure, eager for advice, exposure, and a shove in the right direction (a nice shove!) This means a lot to me and I am flattered to be seen in this way. How timely it was to be distinguished in this...

Hip Hop Abs - Everyday Underwear Style

2013-02-03T14:19:00.000-06:00

Go ahead. Laugh. That's why I filmed it ;0) My husband said if I put it on YouTube, it might go viral and Ellen DeGeneres would have me on her show to dance and laugh with me. Or more likely, at me, which would be great. You know, perhaps I could entertain her for a change. Peace be with you...

Sexy Body, Where Are You?

2013-01-31T11:54:00.002-06:00

Well, well, well… it seems that I am suddenly important enough to get free stuff (very few good offers for this) and be constantly bombarded with requests for guest posts (will I do them AND will I host them?) and for this I am thankful, even though it is time consuming and requires a lot of research on my part. There have been a couple of opportunities lately which are right up my alley and...

Sports Mom Blues

2013-01-19T22:19:00.000-06:00

I dislike sports. The only reason I ever attended a game of any kind was easily attributed to one of several factors: A friend wanted to go. There was a cute guy there I wanted to see. I was in band, so I had to play for the games. My dad took me. My kid is in a sport. Sigh. Enter the gates of hell. I am not one of those parents who screams at full vocal throttle for their kid. I go and...

The Meanest Letter, Ever!

2013-01-12T01:17:00.004-06:00

Dearly Beloved, With blind trust, I write this, hoping that you will heed my desired wishes. I'm not sorry to tell you that I do not want to help you with your charity project, even with the 20% commission incentive. Though I have never met you before, I can say that you repulse me. Thank you for contacting me also about the investigation. I'm glad nobody else knows we are in communication....

Hello, 2013!

2013-01-03T14:52:00.003-06:00

Hello to the new year! I hope all of you had plenty of time to enjoy sitting around in your Everyday Underwear enjoying your Christmas vacation and New Year's festivities and everyone had a safe and happy holiday season. I did! Some writing excitement for the holiday season was being chosen as a finalist in a contest put on by Firepole Marketing, "Awseome Engagement Strategies" in which I was...

Shining a Light on Newtown; A Different Perspective

2012-12-26T17:54:00.001-06:00

Almost every blogger did a post about Newtown; every blogger except me. It certainly wasn't because I wasn't sorrowful and affected like the rest of the US, but I just wasn't sure where to start. While the nation grieved, I thought about myself and my own family. It was a selfish thing, but let me explain. You see, my family was affected by a school shooting back before school shootings were all...

Jane, You Ignorant (finish it if you know it)

2012-12-19T14:58:00.000-06:00

I am sooooooo stupid. This was proven to me this morning by Dr. Probst, our local vet. I do not hide my stupidity from anyone and this is one of the reasons I have such an interesting blog. Case in point: Everyone at my house has been sick lately. My youngest just got over a horrible ear infection, my oldest isn't feeling well, my husband missed a day of work this week due to a horrible head...

No, I Am Not Down Wit' OPP

2012-12-16T22:45:00.000-06:00

Naughty by Nature did a song about it back in the '90's. Are you down with OPP? Well, I'm certainly not. Wait, we're talking about the same thing here, aren't we? Other People's Pubes? Sure we are! So, I'm in the shower the other day, humming a little tune and in a generally good mood, when I glance over at the ledge which is supposed to hold innocuous shower stuffs, and I stop cold in...

Tag! You're It (and you don't even know it)!

2012-12-10T15:30:00.000-06:00

Melanie Conklin writes YA and MG novels. She doesn't know me. I don't know her. She's probably wondering why in the heck I'm featuring her on my blog. I may not even tell her. I'll just give her a nod and see if somebody says, "Hey, I saw you were on Everyday Underwear the other day," and she'll be all like, "You saw me in my underwear where?" She's in a group I'm in on SheWrites and in a...

Do You Read Me? I Could be the Next Big Thing.

2012-12-06T17:28:00.001-06:00

I have a few little housekeeping details for you today. No, not like cleaning the toilet (by the way, look out... my next actual commentary humor post is going to be about pubic hairs) or washing windows. It's a little Cindy Brown Everyday Underwear writing career housekeeping. NUMERO UNO: If you read me (and I assume you do, or your eyeballs would not be ogling my website right now), I...

The Poopy Little Puppy

2012-11-27T23:16:00.002-06:00

I always think there is a book by that title, but then I realize it was instead, The Poky Little Puppy. It's a Little Golden Book. I read it as a child and I loved the book. Years ago, I entertained the thought of writing children's books. Why not, right? Therefore, I have an announcement. In light of my experience with dogs, I'm writing a new book entitled The Poopy Little Puppy and submitting...

The Hair of My Chinny Chin Chin

2012-11-11T23:22:00.001-06:00

One night, I was watching TV while mindlessly checking the landscape of my chin. I felt something. I assumed it was a blemish, but it wasn't. A trip to the mirror revealed the ugly truth. This was worse than a blemish. This sinister demon keeping residence on my face... was chin hair! Eeks! What is that? Bad enough, chin hair on a woman, but this was a chin hair on steroids. I...

A Year in the Making

2012-11-06T15:48:00.000-06:00

I know, I know, I just posted yesterday. But truly, today is a special day and special days are worth noting. It was exactly one year ago today that I started my blog. It was my little experiment. What would happen? Would anyone care? Would anyone relate? Would I fade into the sunset, laptop in hand, tail dragging on the ground behind me as I retreated from my writing dream? Heck to the N-O! I...

R.S.V.Peeve

2012-11-05T09:31:00.000-06:00

We threw a party last week. It was an early birthday/Halloween party for my daughter, the tween. My two daughters, ages 11 and 14, agreed to do all the planning, shopping, purchasing, inviting, cleaning, etc. They know I'm sick. They know I'm tired. Yes, I'm literally sick and tired, thanks to my newly diagnosed Lyme Disease. So I let them do it all. Yeah, right! In my dreams... There was...

Where Have You Been, Young Lady?

2012-10-22T22:36:00.001-05:00

Have you ever said that to your child? Perhaps you've even said it with index finger pointed on one hand and other hand on hip, visually displaying your displeasure with some apropos body language. I feel like that may be what you're all saying to me these days, "Where have you been, Everyday Underwear? You'd better have a good explanation, young lady!" First of all, thank you for...

You're Kidding Me? What the...? I Have What?

2012-09-27T10:38:00.002-05:00

If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that I have no idea what's going to happen next. I can plan the crap out of my entire existence and at best, come close. I am going to cease doing an every Wednesday Woo-Hoo. It's been a very fun thing to do, but due to many extenuating circumstances, it's all the writing I'm getting done lately and I need to return to being more...

Witchy Wednesday Woo-Hoo

2012-09-19T15:14:00.000-05:00

Everyday Underwear readers, I told you I would be posting a response piece to my post entitled, WWJD Part II - The Day The Shamanic Priestess Came to Lunch about an interesting visitor to the Christian writers group my husband and I had taken over years ago (ECWU - Effingham Christian Writers United) and the journey of ultimately deciding to invite our new "witch" to stay. Billie sent...

Flo and the Tornado

2012-09-11T16:01:00.000-05:00

Last week, I was very sick in bed. I had gotten up, got the kids ready and onto the school bus, and immediately came home and went back to bed. I awoke to the sound of a truck coming down the road and the dogs barking furiously. I was groggy and laid my head back down to drift back off, intending to ignore both annoyances. Ah, but 'twas not to be so. In a few minutes, I was rudely awakened by...
