I love being a mom and I love my job, but I admit it: I would fish for a living if I could! HA!

Am I the Only One In the Yakima Valley Who Cannot Keep a Good Vacuum?
I have the hardest time with vacuums. It seems that whenever I get one, it always breaks down. A couple of years ago, I bought a really expensive one. I kept up with it as far as maintenance goes. I kept it clean and well oiled. It didn't matter.
Have You Ever Used The Google Toggles Before You Enter The Search Engine?
I think I am addicted to Google. I Google-search everything. If my front page is another search engine I get out of there and go right back to Google. Besides searching for what I want at a particular time, there is always something educational on Google's front page to keep me intrigued for hours. Right below the actual search bar for Google is a toggle of sorts. You can click on it and it will t
Some Guy Made A Dating Resume — Do Yakima Valley People Have Dating Resumes?
Back in the day, when I used to date a lot, I always had a "list" in the back of my mind for dating. Of course, I would ask some standard questions and if there was a "no" in any of them, the date was over. I know that's kind of harsh, but it is the truth. So, I had a "dating resume. I just didn't put it on paper. But a Michigan kid has, and it works.
A Bedtime Shower Can Help You Sleep — Do You Shower Before You Go To Bed? [POLL]
While I was growing up, my mom used to give me a bath before I went to sleep. As I got older she used to tell me that I needed to shower so I'd be clean when I got in my sheets.

That has not changed, long aft
Would You Drink Beer Made Out Of Sewage Water?
Would you drink beer made out of sewage water? My answer is absolutely not. I do not care how "treated" the water is, just knowing it had been through someone's bowels is enough to say no to the beer!
I am usually pretty gutsy when it comes to stuff like this. I love tasting different things and combining different foods. But, beer made from sewage water? Heck no!
I Like Pizza Toppings That Most People Don’t — Which Ones Do You Like? [POLL]
Pizza is something I need to eat at least once a month. I cannot afford it all of the time, so once a month has to do. I cannot wait for that day. I love all kinds of toppings on my pizza. I like the normal pepperoni and cheese. Who doesn't love a all meat pizza? But what about those crazy toppings you hear people talk about that they would never have?
Does Washington Have Good After-School Programs? [POLL]
Recent reports say that Donald Trump wants to do away with after-school programs for 2 million children. I am almost positive that this is not a good idea. I have volunteered for many after-school programs in my life. I have helped with my daughters over the years, and as far as I can tell, after-school programs are much needed in our communities.
Chuck Berry Shaped a Lot of Music [VIDEO]
Chuck Berry was a true genius. He shaped many different kinds of music. Old school music may have not happened the way it did if it weren't influenced by the great Chuck Berry. We lost him on Saturday (March 18), but for us old schoolers, Chuck Berry will never die.
Dozer Day Was A Blast [PHOTOS]
We had a blast at Dozer Day at State Fair Park with the Central Washington Home Builders Association! The kids had fun and so did us adults. Driving the dozers and other heavy equipment made me want to change careers. Well, maybe not the hardworking part, but man, what a lot of fun!
