There’s an old saying that if Mom’s not happy no one is. --- I am truly not hard to please. If you ask my husband I believe he will agree. I am content to eat a salad for dinner and a day out is a trip to Victoria Secret to cash in my coupon for free underwear. Nevertheless, for the past year I have been whining daily about needing a new bed. --- The one we have was a gift from my in-laws who never scrimp on quality or price, so while it was once a great bed after 20 years it has become … [Read more...]
Did it pass the test? R & R get their money’s worth from Netflix.
January 9, 2012 By 6 Comments
Husband and wife, mother and father, and now Buntology film critics? Check out the first installment of Rod and Rochelle's latest feature, in which they watch and review obscure Netflix movies so you don't have to. Rochelle: Rod and I have very different tastes in movies. He’s more the action, kill, lots of noise and aliens type, and I like suspense, mystery and romance. My favorite movie is Bridges of Madison County (a moment of silence please...) while his is Live Free or Die Hard. … [Read more...]

What could be better on Christmas than the gift of a brand-spankin' new Buntology.com, along with a brand-spankin' new video? Nothing! … [Read more...]

Angie vacations in a onesie
October 9, 2011 By 9 Comments
I recently took a much-needed vacation. Despite my frequent cracks about sitting on my couch alone, crying, watching Food Network, eating, smoking pot, etc., I'm actually actually a pretty busy person, so I planned on relaxing as much as possible during my 10 days off. People asked me where I was going - "Somewhere tropical?" "Vegas?" "The beach? You could really use some color." But where I was going was far more wild and exotic than an island getaway. I was going back to North Adams, … [Read more...]
How to survive 30 years of marriage
September 28, 2011 By 8 Comments
My husband and I just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. Being married for 30 years is significantly more impressive than 25 years, although the 25th anniversary is typically the one that gets the big party and all the attention. It’s a whole new decade of marriage. It’s like turning the big 3-0 as compared to 25. Since I got married at 26, the "married me" years now clearly outnumber the "not married me" years. This is just one more sign of being middle aged that occurs to … [Read more...]
Rochelle takes Target.
August 11, 2011 By 7 Comments
I hate shopping. [editor's note: no really- she hates it.] And I especially hate it on a beautiful summer day when I could be doing a whole lot of anything else. Nevertheless, sometimes you have to go buy a few things, and in North Adams if it isn’t Wal-Mart or The Dollar Tree then it’s a trip to Target. My husband and I like to call these outings a "date." This is supposed to make us feel happy and in love instead of miserable and filled with dread as we consider if we have … [Read more...]
The Unemployment Diary – Part 5 – First you say it, then you do it.
June 24, 2011 By 3 Comments
It was waiting downstairs. As you probably have learned from hard-won experience, dear reader, the things that blindside you and alter the course of your life (and not in a good way), the horrific things, don’t come accompanied by a dramatic swell of orchestral music and terse lines of movie script. There aren’t any vampires coming in through the windows at 1 a.m. No, the horrors pop up unheralded on a sunny, ordinary Wednesday morning out of a clear blue sky. I actually felt good … [Read more...]
On the road again (pass the Chex Mix)
June 21, 2011 By 3 Comments
My friend and I thought it would be fun to go with her boyfriend's band to a couple of their shows last weekend. While I was able to fulfill my lifelong fantasy of being a merch girl- or, the girl who carries a box of t-shirts from the van to the venue- I ultimately realized that being in a band seems like way too much work. I'm exhausted and all I did was dance and pass out in the back of my friend's Acton all weekend. Check out some of the pics I snapped on the trip that took me from NYC … [Read more...]
