Shouldn’t Have Lied!
Lying is bad. I don’t think there is anyone out there who would disagree. And to me, the worst part about lying is not the deceit, it’s the fact that I will always question the person who lied, and anything they say, in the future. Plus, lying can become a habit, and as most habits…
Read MoreYou’re Not Alone (VII)
I’m not saying these are all about me. I’m just saying if you feel the same, or you have done it too, you’re not alone. You’re not alone if… 1. You want to eat an entire tub of cool whip or fudge or frosting or pretty much anything. 2. Some days you just hate everyone. 3.…
Read MoreZero Tolerance For Zero Tolerance
I have a 7 year old daughter who takes ballet every Tuesday. She doesn’t like when I watch, so I don’t (until the last 5 minutes, because then it’s too late for her to get mad at me).

Every once in a while I do a NO BOYS ALLOWED post. This is one of those posts:
Read MoreLet It Go
My daughter, F, is in first grade. She gets tested weekly on “Dolch Words.” (I don’t know why they’re called “Dolch Words,” they seem like “Spelling Words” to me.) We are supposed to work on these words every day. We do not. But when we do…I have noticed that she does this when I give her a word to…
Read MoreWhite People Problems (Part 2)
This is Part 2 of White People Problems. I’m not trying to tell you what to do, but you might want to read Part 1 first. https://sumgirlsboutique.com/2014/04/white-people-problems.html ****************************** Before I move on, I feel like I should give a little background. In the last post, I jumped right into our house being under construction…
Read MoreOld News
Last night, my husband, Cody, told me that I was “old news.” He says what he meant was that Dim Sum and Doughnuts, was “old news,” not me. If that is, indeed, what he meant, I guess he’s kind of right. I did end Dim Sum & Doughnuts and I did stop writing for awhile. But I don’t want Dim Sum and Doughnuts to be…
Read MoreDS&D (Life After Floyd Coden)
Here we go again. 2014, yo! I felt uncomfortable continuing Dim Sum and Doughnuts without Floyd Coden. I even went so far as to start a new blog: www.justlivintheamericandream.com but Dim Sum and Doughnuts is home. And this is where he’d want us to be. So, we’re back, and we hope to see you back too! ********************************************************* Thanks for being here!…
Read MoreBus Stop Talk
I have two daughters, Lovey and Sweet Pea. One is 4. One is 6. One is biological. One is adopted. One is “OK, mommy“…“You got it, mommy“…“I‘m a good girl, mommy!” and one is trying to kill me. My 6 year old, Sweet Pea, is from China. Before Sweet Pea, it seemed every kid I ever…

The other day, one of my friends told me to listen to Dennis Prager on Talk Radio AM 1400. Do you know who Dennis Prager is? I didn’t. My friend mentioned him once and told me that he talks about relationships, and that he’s really smart, so OK, I gave it a shot. I only had…
